Switch to Proton 7.0.x and install the game. Click yes to the SlimDX installer.
Then, use protontricks to install gdiplus and gdiplus_winxp. If using the protontricks gui, it may appear to do nothing for awhile. Let it proceed and it will eventually download those libraries and finish.
Go into ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/296570/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/Lords of Xulima
Edit Configuration.txt. Change Renderer to "SlimDX" instead of "OpenGL".
Mapped some of the keyboard hotkeys to buttons.
Occasional music choppiness during combat
If you only install gdiplus, the game will launch but savegames will fail. You must also install gdiplus_winxp to resolve this.
This game has a native Linux version, but it is unstable. It often crashes when attempting to save the game, causing you to lose progress. Also, the steam cloud saves from the native Linux version often fail to sync when you switch to playing on a Windows machine.
Running the game under Proton with the gdiplus / gdiplus_winxp dlls installed solves these problems.
launcher requires using touchscreen
Native version locks up when you go into tbe mountain (although tbe tutorial works). Force the use of Proton 7.0-4 and the game runs flawlessly.
