Linux
Notes about games available on Linux.
Note that lots of other games are easy to run on Linux with Wine and Steam Play On the windows recs. page I include a note on how the game runs on Linux
The Battle for Wesnoth | also on: Android, OSX, Win, ? |
---|---|
BATTLETECH | also on: OSX, Win |
Haven't played much so far, but am enjoying it. Turn-base tactical game. | |
Clairvoyance | also on: Mac, Win |
Clairvoyance is a turn-based, asynchronous multiplayer game where you control a group of four robots trying to destroy your opponent's. The fun is in trying to predict what they'll do, and how things go wrong and right because of that :) Never had any luck running it on Arch, but *buntus seem fine. Works perfect in Wine. |
|
Door Kickers | also on: OSX. Win |
If you want Frozen Synapse with worse art direction, worse controls, no multiplayer, and leveling guff, and you have a hard-on for cops, then maybe Door Kickers is for you! | |
Freeciv | also on: Browser, Win, ? |
Really hasn't clicked with me. I think it's mostly the lack of personality. You can choose from a great list of nations, but they're all the same, just a different flag. | |
Freedom Planet | also on: OSX, PS4, WiiU, Win |
My favourite Sonic game :) | |
Frozen Synapse | also on: Win |
Tight, turn-based tactical game. Really great as a play-it-when-you're ready asynchronous multi thing. Lots of flexibility with how you control your people, and for simulating the behaviours of your opponents'. | |
frozen_synapse_2 | also on: Win |
Kentucky Route Zero | also on: Mac OS, PS4, Switch, Win, XB0 |
Mini Metro | also on: OSX, Win |
Princess Remedy 2: In A Heap of Trouble | also on: OSX, Win |
Like its Windows-only predecessor, Princess Remedy is a sweet adventure game where you go round healing creatures. Graphics are Speccy-like and presented like a JRPG, but the 'battles' are real-time, single-screen things. It's pretty relaxed and you can retry things if you fail. | |
Rocket League | also on: PS4, Switch, Win, XBO |
|
|
sid_meier_s_civilization_v | also on: OSX, Win |
Tanks of Freedom | also on: Android, Browser, BSD, OSX, Win |
An open-source Advance Wars clone, that I didn't enjoy so much. The damage stuff is really simplified, and it felt like things too-easily turned into battles of attrition, with not much tactical variety. It has a level editor though! |
