Time to try again. It has been listed among linux games for a while, but clicking download, it downloaded the windows version, and since it doesn't launch without Stream, you couldn't even run it standalone with Wine.

You have to opt into the 1.5 open beta.

For the moment it seems gamepaly works pretty well, but only runs at a fixed windowed resolution and the graphics options aren't all there yet.

Can I play this without Steam? Is there a Stream-free purchase or Desura purchase option? I'd love to try this.
