Alright, let's steer this back away from Wine I let that go on too long already.

Native games should be celebrated.

Quoting: boltronicsWhy??!?!? These games all work perfectly under Wine. Have for a very long time.

If they wanted to truly release Warhammer games for a new audience, they should have ported Space Marine! That's a game that does not work under Wine, probably only because of copy protection.
It's all about building up our library without having to resort to hacks like Wine, which never truly work properly.
That's a very unpopular opinion, but very much my experience. Wine gaming is a compromise and relying on it sends developers the wrong message. I don't buy Windows games any more - my last purchase was the Dishonoured expansion back in early 2013, but I've bought around 200 Linux-only games in the subsequent years.

Great to see a title of this quality arrive on the Linux platform. Well done Feral! (again)
The problem is the same as always, people will claim Wine is great, but in reality it fails miserably at too much. Even games rated "Platinum" often still require tweaks and end up having lots of issues. Native all the way.

Wine gaming is not Linux gaming and does not support Linux in any shape or form. Some of us don't buy Windows games and I am sure plenty of us never even looked at this game before.

Quoting: melkemindLooks good.

Face hell in 'Devil Daggers', now available for Linux

Quoting: anewsonI played for two (near immediate) deaths, watched Samsai's replay, then exited immediately. I think the comparisons to Super Hexagon are apt, super punishing at the beginning, but on average you survive a second or two longer per run. But it's not really for picking up and playing for fun until you get pretty good.
Pah Samsai and his puny 84 seconds, try going for my 125 it gets insane ;)
