Valve's card game Artifact seems to be dying off and fairly quickly too
23 Jan 2019 at 3:55 pm UTC

And lets not forget that Magic the Gathering Arena (the grandaddy of TCG) had their open beta released just before Artifact, being both f2p and extremely user friendly compared to last online iterations.

It also works fine installing through Lutris. I was hyped and going to buy Artifact, but when I finally got to install MTG (in linux too) I never came back.

Lutris has a third beta available for the big 0.5.0 release

Quoting: TheSHEEEPI'd use it if it wasn't Linux only.
As it is, Lutris is almost as useless to me as that Windows-only equivalent (forgot the name).
Which one btw? Playnite or Launchbox (AKA big box)?

Littlewood, an RPG with a difference needs funding on Kickstarter

For those that like video game music, the OST will be by the same composer of Roguelands and Magicite: Boishiboizu (bandcamp [External Link], so maybe it will have that sweet electronic vibe like the previous games.

EDIT: If you listen to the Town 1,2 and 3 songs from Magicite and look at this new game pictures, you can really imagine the scene coming to life. :)

Also, be sure to read each game page carefully, 'cause some of them actually mention that you get a steam key either after the purchase, or when the game is fully released.

It might help :wink:

I kind of happen to have one of those games lingering on the steam account from a bundle and for the first time, after reading your review Liam, I am actually am tempeted to play it.

Maybe it's one of those "don't judge the book by it's cover" scenarios.

KeeperRL had a pretty big release recently, adding in some modding support and lots more

Both this little gem and cogmind (wine only) are becoming the best entry level roguelikes I know. The mashup between a rogue and and dungeon keeper is not exactly new, but it is one of the most satisfying and the same time easy to pickup examples I know.

Guess I'll spend some more hours on this one again. Glad to see it here on Gaming on Linux. Thank Liam! ^_^

Valve's digital card game Artifact releases this month with same-day Linux support

Quoting: sudoshredCan't wait for this game. Sign me up for any GOL tournaments. :-D
One more for GOL tournaments here! I think I'll fare better than on Rocket League or an FPS :)

Ashes 2063, an impressive total conversion for Doom II, has released its first episode

Wow!It definatly feels Duke Nukem though it is a Doom mod. I wonder how it compares with Ion Maiden?

Humble Monthly adds in Dungeons 3 and Hidden Folks, pretty good deal now
25 Sep 2018 at 9:55 pm UTC

Hidden Folk is a gem. If you ever "read/played" Where's Waldo (Wally in my country) when you were young you will love this game. It is a great a great example of an adaptation of the digital medium.

OpenRA for playing classic Command & Conquer titles has a fresh release up with AppImages for Linux builds

Quoting: theghost
Quoting: gojulToo bad they do not provide Debian / RPM / ... packages anymore...
Maybe it helps you that there is a snap: https://snapcraft.io/openra [External Link]
and a flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/details/net.openra.OpenRA [External Link]

Although I don't know how up-to-date the repositories are...:huh:
The snap, though it was updated 4 days ago (Sep 22), is version 20180307. The previous stable release.

The flatpack version I can't see it directly in the website. Is there a quick way to find out without downloading?

EDIT: formating.
