I played it 4 more times this afternoon and edited my comment on the MAGs thread. I don't have too much to say since I died fairly quickly 3 of the times. And I got stuck after my second battle and was was swarmed by enemies the first time I played today. It may have been an issue due to there not being a Linux build and I just copied the needed files. The other 3 times I played using the exe via Wine instead and things went smoother.
I will give it a few more tries and comment more if I get far enough to be needed.
