I much prefer turn based if grid based system, like in Heroes of Broken Lands, StarCrawlers, The Quest, and some others. Or at the very least, static combats. I do hate square dancing.

It's one of the very few game i'm actually expecting. Others may come when they come, but this one attracts me a lot for some reason. However i'm not a fan of metroidlike, so, we will see. Demo is nice, i love moving around and eating people.

(edit : took me 30 mnutes to see the end of the demo, and the "secret level" i guess. Fun, even if very limited in what you can actually do)

As a more or less casual player of CDDA for years, all other survival/zombie/roguelike/crafting games feel empty, it's to awesome.

I'll give another try to PZ i guess, soon.

Dominus Galaxia, a 4x strategy game heavily inspired by Master of Orion 1 has a Linux demo up

Quoting: Liam DaweWorked out of the box for me on Manjaro. I just used the launch script with Vulkan because why not, worked well for me.
It was an issue with itchio launching the game with -force-vulkan by default even on machines not Vulkanized.

Now they have updated the launcher to select Play, or Play (Vulkan).

On my Manjaro, the game crash while loading a new game. I can access menu and all, but when i'm done, i see the loading screen, and crash to desktop without warning.

However, if i go to local folder and open a Terminal to launch the game, it works, showing this :

./Dominus\ Galaxia.x86_64
Set current directory to /home/tchey/Jeux/dominus-galaxia
Found path: /home/tchey/Jeux/dominus-galaxia/Dominus Galaxia.x86_64
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed.
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to locate a running instance of Steam, or a local steamclient.so.

So i can play, but not from itchio.
