Galactic Vice - New Real-time strategy game for Linux

Sat, 06/11/2011 - 19:18 | by Conoktra

Galactic Vice is a new, SciFi RTS game featuring two races at war. Vital mistakes made by a corrupt human empire lead to a catastrophic war against an alien race--one in which humanity is pushed to the brink of extinction.

Galactic Vice has recently reached a major development milestone, and the developers are looking to expand their team and get additional support.

Although a FREE game, it is a commercially driven project. It has its roots in Linux, and runs on the most common variants (and Windows too).

I have tested it as well a few days ago.
As said by sixsixfive there isn't much for now.
All you can do is roam the map with 5 units and kill 5 enemy units that don't fight back.
