Infinite Desolation is a fusion of #intense top-down action and #survival #RPG that has been Greenlit on Steam. Gameplay takes place on a harsh planet where your physical and mental attributes of the player will be tested.
The objective? Stay alive, players have to battle not only hordes of tenacious creatures and robotic enemies, but also the environment.
To even the odds, players will build up a pretty impressive arsenal of weapons and special abilities, then level up and explore the environments.
Infinite Desolation is much more than a simple action game. Deep character progression, exploration and looting, crafting, day-night cycles, environmental hazards, classic survival mechanics and world-jumping portals are all part of the package.
A Linux release:
According to Far Flung Games, “the game is built on Unity 5 (latest build using 5.5 beta). It should be possible to do a Linux build without too much trouble.”
Unity 5.5 Beta is the build that has the experimental Vulkan support available. There is no word about that yet, but we are currently hoping to get into some Linux gameplay. More details coming soon.
