14 DAY TRIAL // Interstellar Marines, a tactical FPS developed and published by Zero Point Software, has just received Linux support with the latest patch.
Interstellar Marines is a very promising first-person shooter and its developers said that they took inspiration from Half-Life, System Shock 2, and Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. The game has been built mainly as a multiplayer experience, but a limited single-player is also available.
The latest update for the Interstellar Marines also brought support for the Linux platform and it looks like this title aims to be one of the best-looking on the open source platform.
“Now Available For Linux! Interstellar Marines resurrects the old school tactical FPS, offering a unique blend of co-op, role-playing and nonlinear gameplay. Set in a believable future, you take on the role as an elite soldier handpicked to join Project IM, a top secret military program being assembled to protect mankind from all dangers outside our solar system,” reads the official synopsis on Steam.
If you think that these kinds of graphics come cheap, you’d better think again. To enjoy the game at its maximum potential, you will need at least Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, a 2.4 GHz quad-core processor, 4 GB of RAM, an Nvidia Geforce GTX 280 or ATI Radeon HD 5830 video card, and 1 GB of free space.
Interstellar Marines is in the Early Access Game program, which means that it's still under development.
