The game works great on Linux, by default.
The only tip I have is for people that use 2 or more monitors on their PC, as is my case, because if you do son, you'll need to open the game settings and activate a checkbox that says something like "anchor mous to game window"; this will prevent that your mouse goes to another monitor when scrolling through a map in the direction of your other monitor.
It's a fantastic city building game, which runs perfectly on Linux.

It's a great rts and it looks fantastic on high settings.
The game works great by default and looks great on high graphics settings. With this game I really don't miss games as Starcraft 2 or Warcraft 3 that much, but it would be great if those games were sold on Steam of if Blizzard had the courtesy of not giving a damn about Linux clients.
It works perfectly by default on Linux.
I you'll play it with a controller you'll need to adjust the energy management settings in your OS, and turn off the timer for screen shot down or suspense, because for some reason my Linux Mint distro thinks my PC is idle when I'm playing witha controller. I think this is more a Linux Mint Issue, than a Steam Issue, but it's easily resolved.
It works fine by default, but needs some thinkering if you wish to force a higher resolution than the one used by the developer decades ago.

The game works great by default, but given that it's a very old game, by default it comes for low resolution monitors and square screen projection. Fortunately I found a launch command that allowed me to fix the resolution and adjust the display for modern monitors. Even though, the game works fine by default and you could play it as people did decades ago.
It runs smoothly on Linux Mint 22.1.
It's an amazing game. Super recommended for people who used to play warcraft and starcraft... the game is fantastic. Its gameplay isn't as pulished as that of SC2, or WC3, but it's still fun to play, and demanding, even on normal difficulty... but on the story side of things, Spellforce teaches Blizzard how that part of gaming needs to be handled... the game has a lot of The Witcher 3 vibes, but it's an STS... I love this game.
I had to enter a launch command because the game opens on a small window by default, and I preffered to play it full screen.
-fullscreen
The launching command that I qouted in this review is a must if you wish to play this game full screen. If you don't bother by playing on a relatively small window, then you can launch the game as it comes by default.
PS: If you play using a controller on Linux Mint 22.1 you'll need to adjust the "energy management" settings of your system and turn off the counter for screen suspension or blackout. For some reason my PC doesn't detect my controller's activity and asumes my computer is sitting idle... I thing this is more a Linux Mint problem, than a Steam one, but I'm ignorant on how these things work on an OS.
The game works great on my PC, with Linux Mint 22.1, which has a modest hardware for gaming.
It's a great game and I highly recommend it to anyone that likes jrpgs.
