Austin, TX -Having been one of the first developers to release a title for Steam on Linux, Alexander Zubov acknowledges the beta with his experience so far, along with releasing his game to the new player base, Steel Storm: Burning Retribution.
Players that requested to be a part of the Steam on Linux beta will be able to access the new service to the platform, being released today. There are only 1,000 players, but this number will eventually expand in due time. Some titles that will be available for everyone who gets in is Team Fortress 2, and “approximately two dozen additional Steam titles.” One of the titles that are available is Steel Storm: Burning Retribution, a top-down action shooter.
Alexander Zubov, Founder and Creative Direction of Kot-in-Action Creative Artel, praises Steam on Linux. “Steam on Linux is awesome!” he said, “I can only say positive things about its arrival. It should be now much easier to reach the extremely fragmented Linux gamers.”
For those who haven’t bought Steel Strom: Burning Retribution, you can do so via the Steam store page for $4.99. For the players that already own the game, purchasing it from Steam directly or via the Humble Indie Bundle 3, you will find that the game is automatically made playable on Steam for Linux when it is fully released.
“The addition of Steam on Linux will also mean that those players will now be able to take advantage of those glorious sales! No other online store makes it so easy for developers to communicate and interact with their player base as Steam does. There’s a reason why Steam is the leading online PC game store right now and expanding their potential customers further is only going to reinforce that fact.”
For those looking into purchasing Steel Storm: Burning Retribution, the purchase will go towards the development of the sequel, Steel Storm 2. The follow up is an old-school FPS with the spirit of Doom® and Quake®. With a rich story, flexible gameplay, and a spin-off in the original Steel Storm universe, it sounds promising. To add, Steel Storm 2 can be pre-ordered for the low price of $5 for a limited time on the official website. The price will increase, however, as development progresses with the final price being set as $20, so get your copy today!
