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.
Axe & Bow Land is a retro platformer and puzzle game where brothers Axel and Bowie battle an ancient darkness in Aztec lands. With their magical weapons and unique abilities, they must overcome challenges in pixel art worlds and restore peace to their home.
In Axe & Bow Land, players take on the roles of brothers Axel and Bowie, warriors chosen by an ancient prophecy and armed with sacred relics: a magical axe that can freeze enemies and a divine bow. Set in a mythical era inspired by Aztec culture, the game tells the story of a once-peaceful land, now corrupted by a strange dark energy emerging from an ancient temple. Axel and Bowie, immune to this malevolent force, are the only ones capable of embarking on the journey to restore peace and balance to their homeland.
The adventure unfolds across six unique worlds, each containing five levels that offer diverse challenges: from platforming stages filled with puzzles — inspired by games like ElecHead — to intense boss battles and fast-paced shoot ’em up levels. Each world is meticulously crafted in pixel art, with a color palette inspired by the classic Rainbow Islands, giving the game both a nostalgic and visually appealing atmosphere.
As they progress, players face enemies under the control of darkness, including corrupted animals and Aztec warriors. Axel, with his ability to immobilize enemies and use them as platforms, opens new paths, while Bowie, in his dedicated shoot ’em up stages, destroys them with his divine bow. The game features multiple endings, shaped by the player’s choices throughout the adventure.
Two protagonists with unique abilities: Axel freezes enemies and uses them as platforms, while Bowie fights through shoot 'em up stages, eliminating threats.
Six Aztec-themed worlds: From jungles to ancient temples, each world contains five levels with different enemies, puzzles, and final bosses.
Retro pixel art graphics: A colorful and nostalgic aesthetic in 320x240 resolution, inspired by the classic Rainbow Islands.
Two game modes that define the level of difficulty:
Story Mode: more accessible, with infinite retries and saved progress after each level—like ElecHead or VVVVVV.
Arcade Mode: designed for expert players, with limited lives and objectives to complete in a single playthrough—like Rainbow Islands.
Stage-based progression system: You don’t need to finish the whole game in one sitting if you don’t want to.
Two different endings depending on the level of challenge achieved.
Immersive and culturally inspired narrative: The story is based on an Aztec prophecy and unfolds through illustrated intros and endings, creating a rich and meaningful experience.
Extensive soundtrack: The game features beautiful and catchy melodies that accompany each world, enhancing the atmosphere and gameplay experience.
