How to Download and Install Action RPG 'FLARE' on Linux
FLARE which stands for Free/Libre Action Role Playing Engine is a new game/engine heavily in development. With isometric views and graphics and an action oriented hack 'n' slash gameplay, FLARE very much feels like Diablo series games.
FLARE is completely free and open source project and is licensed under GPL v3. Also it uses community contributed and freely licensed Open Game Art for game graphics. The development is ongoing on at a rapid pace and new features and fixes drop in constantly. Currently, FLARE directly takes you to a game level but in future it may get story elements or it may remain purely as an engine so that other games can be developed using it.
