Overview
Description

Shadowgrounds delivers fast‑paced, top‑down action set in a gritty sci‑fi universe, where players battle alien threats with a variety of upgradable weapons. The game features intense explosive combat, an innovative upgrade system, and a storyline that keeps you engaged from start to finish. The experience is enhanced by split‑keyboard or joystick co‑op, allowing two players to team up on a single computer, and it runs on Linux, PC, and Mac, offering broad accessibility for fans of shooter action.

Space Siege thrusts players into intense, science‑fiction battles where split‑second decisions shape the outcome. Developed by Gas Powered Games, the creators of Dungeon Siege and Supreme Commander, it blends role‑playing depth with high‑octane action. The game offers both single‑player and cooperative multiplayer modes, letting you team up or go solo on PC while customizing your character’s abilities and gear for relentless combat scenarios.
