Incursion — Linux & Steam Deck (Beta)
Pre-releaseThis is the Linux / Steam Deck playable build of the Mac port of Incursion. It has had real playtesting on handheld hardware, but it is still pre-release: expect bugs, and saves may not survive later builds. Play it to enjoy and to shake out problems, not for a character you'd mourn.
This tag is rolling — it's overwritten with each new test build, so the links below always point at the latest.
New in this build
Paladins — Sanctified Weapon:
- Any weapon a Paladin wields now strikes as a holy weapon — an extra 2d6 damage to evil and undead — even a plain, unenchanted blade. It's a new innate 1st-level class feature, always active.
Monkey Grip:
- Monkey Grip now lets you hold a bastard sword in one hand without its exotic proficiency, freeing your off hand for a shield. You swing it at the two-handed Strength bonus, at −2 to hit.
Other fixes:
- Walls no longer leak light after a door in them is removed.
- Illusory (psychosomatic) damage no longer leaves you permanently above your maximum hit points when it wears off.
- Permanent glows and magic auras no longer wink out on their own. An archon's continual light and its magic circle destroyed themselves the moment they were cast, and every permanent field on a level used to die the first time the in-game day rolled over.
Downloads
Both are Linux builds. Neither runs on Windows, so a ROG Ally with the
stock Windows install it ships with cannot use either one.
incursion-steamdeck-x86_64.tar.gz— for SteamOS: the Steam Deck, or
another handheld running SteamOS in place of the system it shipped with.
Uses SteamOS's own SDL2. Tested on a ROG Ally running SteamOS.incursion-linux-x86_64.tar.gz— any other x86-64 Linux. Bundles SDL2 + a
launcher, so it runs without installing SDL2.
Run it
SteamOS (Desktop mode → Konsole):
tar -xzf incursion-steamdeck-x86_64.tar.gz
cd incursion-deck && ./incursion.sh
Generic Linux:
tar -xzf incursion-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd incursion-linux && ./run.sh
Build: x86-64, glibc 2.31 floor (Debian 11 / Steam Runtime "sniper" ABI). Shipping build — no resource compiler, no GPLv2 ACCENT runtime. From commit cb30190.
