Key Features

Linux Compatibility & Performance
As a game still in development, Acrolyte shows great promise for the Linux gaming community. During our initial tests:
Performance: Extremely stable frame rates even on integrated graphics (Intel® UHD Graphics 620 and better).
Compatibility: Runs flawlessly via Proton (Experimental) / Native build (if available).
Controller Support: Steam Deck and Xbox controllers are recognized out of the box but tested with Logitech F710 which works perfectly with the game on Linux.
The developer, Cyber Komodo, is focusing on a "gameplay-first" approach. In a sea of generic platformers, Acrolyte stands out with its oppressive, yet mesmerizing atmosphere and tight controls. It feels like a love letter to titles like Hollow Knight and Metroid, but with its own unique, "low-fi" sci-fi aesthetic.
