Guide: Installing Drones: Defenders Astartes on Linux with Steam Proton

This guide describes how to use Steam Proton to play and run Windows games on your Linux computer. Some games may not work or may break because Steam Proton is still at a very early stage.


1. Activating Steam Proton for Linux:
Proton is integrated into the Steam Client with "Steam Play." To activate proton, go into your steam client and click on Steam in the upper right corner. Then click on settings to open a new window. From here, click on the Steam Play button at the bottom of the panel. Click "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles."

Alternatively: Go to Steam > Settings > Steam Play and turn on the "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles" option.

Valve has tested and fixed some Steam titles and you will now be able to play most of them. However, if you want to go further and play titles that even Valve hasn't tested, toggle the "Enable Steam Play for all titles" option.


2. Choose a version
You should use the Steam Proton version recommended by Steam: 3.7-8. This is the most stable version of Steam Proton at the moment.


3. Restart your Steam
After you have successfully activated Steam Proton, click "OK" and Steam will ask you to restart it for the changes to take effect. Restart it. Your computer will now play all of steam's whitelisted games seamlessly.


4. Launch Stardew Valley on Linux:
Before you can use Steam Proton, you must first download the Stardew Valley Windows game from Steam. When you download Stardew Valley for the first time, you will notice that the download size is slightly larger than the size of the game.
This happens because Steam will download your chosen Steam Proton version with this game as well. After the download is complete, simply click the "Play" button.

What is Drones: Defenders Astartes? Features and Description

A 2D, top-down shoot'em up with simulation elements, deeply reminiscent of those vector games from the 80s. Blast your way trough space, enemies and mystery. Upgrade your drones. Endure your mothership's AI cynical attitude and survive the most realistic shoot'em up ever!

Welcome Captain, we have an emergency...


In a distant future embark on a dangerous journey onboard the titanic vessel, the Legatus Astartes, as its captain.

Hundreds of light years away from Earth, orbiting an alien planet, you are revived by the ship's AI when the situation become critical. A series of mysterious incidents threaten not only the success of your mission, but also the life of thousands of human colonists in hypersleep.

Taking inspiration from legendary games of the early '80s, as well as some iconic sci-fi movies of the same period, Drones: Defenders Astartes will put you at the helm of formidable space drones capable of immense firepower to reimagine the shoot'em up formula.

With tens of systems to manage in real time, from shields to scanners, decoys and IR lights, Drones immerse players in engaging gameplay rooted in the '80s technology.
Manage weapons systems and sensors while developing offensive and defensive tactics; it will feel not only very real but also interactive.

Without compromising on the easy gameplay of the golden era of shoot'em up, piloting your fleet of drones will feel strangely familiar but also rewarding.

As if it was not enough piloting the drones in the unknown, you will have to endure the Legatus Astartes strong willed AI, Mater Astri, that will not miss a chance to highlight how humans beings are so... fallible.

good Luck, Captain!

In Drones you will find:

  • A new take on the old Shoot'em Up formula with innovative gameplay.
  • Tens of systems to manage during each mission, for a more tactical, and less frenetic, gameplay.
  • Intelligent enemies that will react to detection and will use evasive actions, following the same rules as the player.
  • Upgrades all the major systems of your fleet's drones to face different threats.
  • Fully voiced mothership's AI, Mater Astri ... that is actually voiced by an AI!
  • A compelling plot told trough a series of mission briefings and in-game events, all fully voiced by Mater Astri.
