The game is actually quite awesome, but only for this DLC, thumb down too.

Vanguard Princess, a popular 2D fighting game is now on Linux & SteamOS

OK, i bought it.

- Very poor options, no full screen, image stretchs when you change the size of the window, not so fun gameplay.
+ my XBoxOne USB works fine

OK, i refunded it.

It's really cheap, but it seems to be an "barely average" game, with boobs to attract more players than if it was "only a barely average game".

Siralim 2, a monster catching RPG is now on Linux & SteamOS with its latest release

Actually i have a problem to install the game.

Steam opens the usual window, "Creating local game cashe file", then... then... then... It crashes so far 3 times, and even Steam crashed in the process once.

I tried from my PlayOnLinux Steam for Windows installation, and i don't have troubles.

Linux Mint 17.3 XFCE 64bits

If i try from a Terminal, i get this :

They said the beta starts between 1 and 3 august depending on your pledge, will last for 3 months, then /wipe. So i guess around october/november 2016 we can start playing "for real".

Stardew Valley is now in beta for Linux
26 Jul 2016 at 10:15 am UTC

Hello,

I don't get something. How can i switch to Linux Beta, if i first cannot download the game because it's Windows only ? I need to buy the game for Windows, then switch to Beta ? But then, it counts as a Windows purchase, right ?

Stardew Valley confirmed for a Linux release on the 29th of July

I will wait until update 1.1 to buy and start playing it. Glad it's still coming to our OS

Vanguard Princess, a 2D fighting game that features an all-female cast is coming to Linux

I play SKullgirls from time to time, but it's too "busy" on screen. It's a solid game i think, but not so much my taste.

I'd prefer to see a Mortal Kombat-like title coming to Linux. I played a lot of MK1 to MK3 on my Sega Genesis / Megadrive 16bits back in time.

Planet Centauri, another 2D sandbox RPG with crafting available for Linux
5 Jul 2016 at 6:08 pm UTC

It's made by a small french team, and they are very active on a famous french forum, Canard PC.

Their animations are awesome, and they have a nice magic system on the way : you can select different effects for example to get a bouncing fireball, a huge slow moving fire wall, a quick release of many small balls, etc.



At first the world seems small but it's actually larger than a planet in Starbound or a large Terraria world.

It's still unfisnished of course, but it has great chance of becoming great, and it's already fun.
