I See Red twin-stick shooter game aims at Proton for Linux via Windows PC. Thanks for further details and confirmation from developer Whiteboard Games. Working to make its way onto both Steam and Humble Store.
I See Red is a fast-paced and frantic story of rage and revenge. The year is 2621. You are an outlaw traveling the infinite depths of space. You are also searching for those who have wronged you to dish out the ultimate punishment. With a unique dichromatic aesthetic, your view of the world is consumed by wrath. Doing so as the targets of your retribution appear in a deathly red. While the rest of the world around you fades to gray. Consumed by anger, everything that surrounds you can be destroyed. Such as ship hardware, furniture, and most importantly, I See Red enemies.
Linux support via Proton:
While we have no plans at the moment we have tested the game using Valve’s Proton and it works great!
You can also see the Steam comment for yourself. But testing out the free Steam Demo, the twin-stick shooter game is developed via Unity 3D. Which should also make Steam Deck functionality straight forward. That being said, the I See Red Press Kit does show Linux support. So the Proton comment could be the result of the developer taking the easy route. BUT, you can also share your Tux Love too.
In I See Red you will also uncover a host of diverse weaponry and augments. Along with skills and abilities to lay waste to your foes as brutally as they deserve. As a top-down, twin-stick roguelite, every playthrough unlocks a stronger version of yourself. Doing so as you improve your very own cloning machine. Bring entire ships to total collapse and exercise justice against invading spaceships. Even with robots, aliens, humans — the entire galaxy. Rage and crush them all. While you rage and make them pay. Rage and get your revenge. You. Must. Not. Stop.
