To top things off, we are also on the cusp of Linux support too.
The engine is Unreal Engine 4.27. If Linux community wants the game, we can do it for you.
Thansk to a Heart Core email, the Gripper developer is right on the brink of agreeing to Linux support. But just needs a bit of incentive from the community to offer a native build. Just a simple “yes” is all we need, the more the better on the Steam Forum post.
Gripper plays out in a dystopian world plagued with mystery and loss. Players take the role of None, a cyber bike riding, grapple hook-wielding hero on a mission to find and save his loved ones. Progressing through the post-apocalyptic landscapes will see None have to make vital story choices. While working through torturous terrain and face off against some ferocious foes.
The goal of every boss fight; slay your foe and rip out their heart. Every enemy’s heart will provide None with a memory of a loved one. As well as a new ability that is due to equip for the cyber bike. Players can build their dream cyber bike killing machine. Doing so by increasing the power of the grapple hook. This includes mounting a rail gun on the back or deploying enemy seeking drones.
