Epic looking pixel-art hack-and-slash 'Divinum' adds Linux / Steam Deck support

What the report says

1 Sep 2026 at 10:00 am UTC By Liam Squires-HandDivinum is a wonderful looking pixel-art hack-and-slash action-adventure with some fun exploration, and now officially supported on Linux / Steam Deck. If you're in the mood for another metroidvania like game, this could be your next purchase.
 It originally released August 28th, with a Native Linux build arriving shortly after on August 31st which the developer said "It should perform at a comfortable 90+ fps and lower battery consumption than before" which is great to see.
 More about it: "An outside threat reaches your homeland, a quiet northern island.

You play as Fjør, a young warrior among those born under the Fate of the Guardian, blessed with exceptional combat prowess. But that alone is not enough to defeat the invaders and protect what's sacred to your people.
 Walking the path of a Warden, explore the island above and below the surface: forgotten caves and ominous forests, gloomy catacombs and sacred ruins, where you shall fight hordes of monsters, discover well-hidden secrets and harness ancestral legacy."
