Is this open beta? Can you try it now if you buy the game?

I can confirm (as I have a key) that the game does run on Linux and will be supported when it's released into Early Access.It does? Myself and a bunch of others are getting a login error [External Link]. Did you do anything special to get it working?

Quoting: themixturemediaWe'll got my key and got this error "Login Failure: Login JSON response badly formatted".You are not the only one. See this Steam discussion [External Link].

Iron Sky Invasion now has a Linux beta on Steam, uses Wine

Quoting: GuestI have had zero issue with the original version of Limbo, one of the best games I played on Linux.You sure it was the Wine port? Because they made a native port later on, and that was good. But the Wine wrapped one never worked properly for me.

Although I have to admit that Topware Interactive seem to know what they are doing, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

Quoting: liamdaweIf a game being on Linux can be done with minimal effort using Wine when it works really damn well, what's the downside exactly?That's a big if. And if that is the case, it's fine with me. Unfortunately experience has taught me to be cautious of Wine ports. Limbo, Eador, Dear Esther attempted Wine ports and failed miserably. :(

What I am concerned about is that these Wine ports tend to be minimal-effort products. As in I haven't seen a single example of a Wine port where the game did not run in Wine in advance (or were not complete disasters like Limbo and Eador). And as we come closer to the current year releases, we begin scraping the line between where games just work in Wine and where they begin having subtle annoying bugs like input and sound problems, rendering glitches, broken controller support etc., while in a way they still do "work". If the game actually needs to be hacked to work in Wine or Wine needs to be hacked to make the game work, I think the effort is better spent making an actual native port instead.
End rant. :P

Quoting: liamdaweI would argue that four years is quite a while and it was before Steam was officially released on Linux.I don't necessarily disagree with you on that. I also have great respect for the Wine project.
Dirt and Spec Ops aren't as niche as this game, so they are a different story.

Ahem... Does it really qualify as an older title by being released in 2012? I have nothing against using Wine for old games that are not economically viable to port via any other method. But being released on the same year as Dirt Showdown and Spec Ops: The Line does not qualify it as an old game in my book.
