star vortex space action rpg game is aiming at linux steam deck windows pc

Star Vortex space action RPG game is aiming at Steam Deck and Linux via Windows PC. All thanks to Zorg Games, who keep bringing the creativity and pushing the limits. Working to make its way onto Steam Early Access.

Humanity is at war, and things are already looking bad. But now, a new, even deadlier enemy has shown up, and they’re not here to negotiate. Their mission? Wipe us out completely.

Steam Decks can run my game perfectly fine using Proton…
….every game I’ve tried with almost zero loss in performance

Here’s the reply from Zorg — they’re not planning a native port, outlining that Linux users just don’t spend money on games. But at least we have Steam Deck support via Proton, for this Unity 3D title.

In Star Vortex, you take on the role of a lone pilot sent into deep space to track down gateway keys — the only way to get Earth’s mothership through the jump gates and warn humanity before it’s too late.

Your journey won’t be easy. Space is filled with hostile forces, elite enemies, and massive bosses standing between you and your mission. But don’t worry—every battle makes you stronger. Level up, upgrade your ship, and unlock devastating new weapons as you go from a small frigate to a fully decked-out battleship built for destruction.

What Makes Gameplay Great?

  • Build Your Dream Ship – Customize every part of your ship with a huge selection of weapons, armor, and special gear. Want to go in guns blazing? Prefer sneaky cloaking and drones? Make Star Vortex your own.
  • Nonstop Progression – The more you fight, the more you unlock. Bigger ships, better weapons, and more ways to obliterate your enemies.
  • Deep Upgrade Trees – Choose your path with three major skill trees that let you tweak your playstyle to perfection.
  • Epic Variety of Weapons – Fire lasers, homing missiles, energy pulses, tesla coils, and even time-dilation tech. Or, if you’re feeling creative, try out grapple guns, drone swarms, and cloaking fields. There’s no “right” way to fight—just the way that works for you.
  • Randomly Generated Space Sectors – No two playthroughs are the same. Every time you jump in, you’ll face new threats, different challenges, and fresh opportunities to test your skills.
  • Multiple Difficulty Settings – Whether you want a casual space adventure or a brutal action RPG challenge, Star Vortex has something for everyone. And for the truly hardcore players, there’s a Hardcore Mode where death is permanent.
  • Fully Customizable Controls – Tweak everything to your liking so you can focus on what really matters—taking down enemies in style.

Star Vortex space action RPG is coming to Steam Early Access in Q2 2025. Coming to Linux and Steam Deck via Windows PC, using Proton.

Can’t wait? Grab the free demo on Steam now and start your journey to save Earth before it’s too late.
