Let’s leave Steam and other launchers and distribution platforms alone a bit. Also lets stop discussing game engines for moment …

  • What are your favorite games that run natively on Linux and what genre are they?

Would be cool if you could write a few words about the game and why it’s your favorite game.

XEvil. Come one people, you can turn people into frogs!

But seriously, what a classic. The mechanics are well balanced and the rules while quite simple offer so many possibilities. For example the robot have a gun but can’t use drags. Ninja has low health but can climb walls. Chopter boy can fly but don’t have any melee attack. And so on…

As for the rules for example for each item you have use and drop actions. So to kill someone with a bomb you have to use it (arm it) and then drop it. It explodes 3 seconds after being armed. There’s also a soul swapper gun available. Shoot someone with it and you swap bodies. So what would I do? Arm the bomb and shoot someone with the soul swapper. They swap into a body with an active bomb and explode after 3 seconds. So fun.

In the end each round is different and the game is super difficult. One thing I never did is play it against other people. So… who wants to try?

There’s a blast from the past. And don’t forget https://obscuritory.com/action/battalion/
