The RPG 'Battle Chasers: Nightwar' has finally officially launched on Linux

Quoting: tuubiAre randomly-generated dungeons really such a great feature that they deserve double entries in the feature list? The game looks beautiful, but I can't think of a "console RPG great" that's based on random dungeons instead of a properly designed game world. I guess the inspiration is limited to style of art and some details of gameplay, leaving out the best bits like proper story progression and world building.

I hope a full review disproves my first impressions.
Story isn't half bad. Even setup for a sequel.

Game play is classic turn based JRPG style combat.

Replay value is one more round with New Game+.

Now we just need an amazing AMD card to go along. The current selection is all behind NVIDIA in terms of hardware performance.

There's hints of the 'SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics' pack coming to Linux

Well they should add incentives. Netcode. Achievements etc.

To make it easier to run overall and play with friends.

What i really wanna see is that Capcom game. Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara

Paradox haven't decided if their new game Imperator: Rome will be on Linux (update: it will!)

Does the Xbox 360 wireless controller work? They don't seem to have any form of input mechanism worked into the export (I'm assuming this is Unity)?

When i launch it from Steam, nothing happens.

So i launch it from cli,

./The_Swords_of_Ditto: /usr/lib32/libcurl.so.4: version `CURL_OPENSSL_3' not found (required by ./The_Swords_of_Ditto)

I get this..

So i use libcurl.so.3 instead

LD_PRELOAD=libcurl.so.3 ./The_Swords_of_Ditto

Then i get some progress but it segfaults when communicating with Steam's api.

Page requirements state Windows and DirectX on Steam though.

This is confirmed for Linux?

Doom (2016) could have been on Linux, id Software made a Linux version sound easy to do

Having a port in house working meant developers spent working hours getting it to run in 90% of cases.

This was paid time.

To not release it for extra revenue makes no sense from a commercial perspective especially since it was stated that it took little effort to get it running. Money is still money regardless of where it comes from.

It should be released into a beta channel or at least as a best efforts support release clearly stated.
