[closed] What about Frozen Synapse?

[SUSEd]

Did anyone tried to play native version?
This game is now on Indie Sale?
Is it worth to weight buy?

[karmik]

Yep, I tried. It works fine on my system (Ubuntu 12.10 x64). Game is very specific, so I recommend you to read some reviews about it before buying.

[sounds like a wooosh]

Well, it got lots of great reviews…!

I stumbled upon lots of smaller glitches with the GUI – but at all it is a great game, well… if you like games that focus strongly on strategy in a scifi environment. I also do like the soundtrack btw! – But yes… maybe others wrote better reviews about it ;D So the hint from karmiktoucan was wise maybe ;) (using Kubuntu 12.04 x32 – but graphics card and quickness are not that important because it's a round-based game.)

Also take a look in the game-hub maybe!

Frozen Synapse is a great, challenging game. Well worth it.

It's run well for me in Mint. It's also pretty damn hard. At least for me.

I also agree with karmiktoucan. For me, the game works fine under Linux. But it is a special game. Graphics very(!) simple, tactical gameplay quite complex, at least at the beginning (what's where I still am). You should at least take a look at the first tutorial on their site: http://www.frozensynapse.com/tutorials.html

Cool! :o)

The LOS tool (I think it's the V key) is your friend. You have to learn to predict movement; it's pretty hard.

What is "LOS"?
