I'm not usually too much into stealth games, but this one seems interesting.
Fairly unique.

Quoting: LungDragoThis really gives off a Europa 1400: The Guild vibe. From what I've been able to find though, the developer doesn't put multiplayer as a priority (there will be none at launch). Which is a shame, the biggest reason I'm not playing The Guild right now is because of that game's horrible out of sync issues in multiplayer. Since this game isn't developed with MP from the ground up, it gives me little hope for a good MP experience.

Yeah... but at least the dev does have it on the roadmap, even if under the "later" category. If the game turns out to be a success, it seems at least possible that it gets MP.

Quoting: slaapliedjeKind of sounds like Europa 1400: The Guild, which was a great game. May have to pick this one up if that is the case!

Indeed. As The Guild 3 is continuing to turn out to be a total trainwreck, this could definitely fill the void!
And for linux, too!

Too bad it is just single player, though. Some friends and I always like to play The Guild 2 in multiplayer.

Quoting: Patola

Quoting: liamdaweThis exactly, while it is a BR game, it's quite different to what's already on offer. Not only is it a battle against players, you're battling the environment as well.

If that is so, I would think that is not a good contender for "the year of battle royale on Linux", since it's so different. A better wall-breaker would be a game pretty much like PUBG or Fortnite.

Not really, because who would play that? There's only so much room for games that are exactly like PUBG or Fortnite - and now Radical Heights and Paladins Battle Royale, too.

Any competition has to make itself differ if they want to have at least a small piece of the cake.
And releasing on linux is unfortunately not going to make much of a difference in earnings for anyone on its own.

I'm certainly way more likely to play Darwin Project than any of the others.

Quoting: Patola...finally?
Anyway, 10 players isn't a small amount for a Battle-Royale type game?

If it was the same as PUBG or Fortnite, yes.

But this one seems to be far more focused on actual survival. As in, the environment itself is also your enemy.
I'd expect to see people die from environmental hazards just as often as from other players - of course, I might just be overly optimistic.

I've been following this for a while (probably GOL brought it my attention?), and also just waited for it to be done to dive in.

Quoting: GuestHope it comes with a sale. Didn't pick it up last time on a steam sale.
Then again, it's worth them oney either way I guess :)

For that game? Yeah, one of the few games that is actually worth full price.

This will be the perfect game to play when GF+me are looking for something relaxing to play.
Right now our go-to game is Vermintide 2, but a) Windows :/ and b) not exactly relaxing ;)

Edit:
Does anyone know how MP will actually be working?
Will it be a dedicated server structure, or will the host basically simulate the entire game on his machine for everyone?
Or does everyone have a copy of the game state?

I'm not worried about cheaters (this is a game you'll likely play with friends, not some random people).

Quoting: tuubi

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThere has been such a crazy number of 2D action RPGs like this in the last months, it really feels like this specific niche is completely oversaturated.

Maybe it feels like that to someone who's not fond of the genre? I for one can't think of that many good 2D ARPGs on or coming to Linux.

Well, with any wave of a genre, you have the good ones and the bad ones.
Just look at the current Battle Royale stuff ;)

The problem is that even the bad ones add to the saturation.

Don't think I can play this game.

Wouldn't want my employer to think I'm moonlighting.

Ahem...
One thing bothers me about this, though.
There has been such a crazy number of 2D action RPGs like this in the last months, it really feels like this specific niche is completely oversaturated.
And yet they keep on coming!
