I've seen early access games abandoned by their developers in an unfinished, even unplayable state. I must commend the developers of Zero Hour for not only producing a tactical shooter that rivals the best from much better funded developers, but continuing to improve and optimize. The Vulkan build works great now, which makes for good performance on Linux systems.

This game's novel approach to difficulty makes it unusually engaging. This is not a game you will sit down and complete in a single game. Make no mistake, this game is CHALLENGING and you will fail, repeatedly. But nor is this game inordinately punishing in the vein of an actual roguelike such as NetHack. A large part of the progression comes in terms of your own personal skill and strategy, which will develop over multiple play-throughs.

There aren't many games about firefighting, and this one does it in comic, challenging style. It deserves more players.
