14 DAY TRIAL // NEO Scavenger is a new turn-based survival title created by Blue Bottle Games. It's been made available for all supported platforms, including the Linux one.
There are not too many good turn-based games for Linux users, at least not titles that can take people back to a time when Fallout was king. This is a slightly different kind of game, but it has the same complexity. The makers of NEO Scavenger have been working for almost four years on it and it's nice to finally see it in action.
"Each turn, you must decide where to go, how to scavenge for supplies, and how to deal with anything and anyone you encounter. And with each passing minute, the pit in your stomach grows, your dehydration worsens, your muscles tire, and your body temperature drops in the cold autumn air. Choose your starting abilities carefully, because they and your wit are the only tools you have in the apocalypse!" reads the Stream synopsis.
Despite the simplistic graphics, it looks like the game needs a more powerful system than you would suspect. Users will need at least Ubuntu 10.04, a 2.33 GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM, 128 MB of video memory, and 75 MB of HDD space. Interestingly enough, this is one of the games that actually come with a demo version.
