Hawken is all about Mech Combat. Battle with 18 different customizable mechs, 6 game modes, loads of weapon and stunning action. Hopefully the developers will consider a native Linux game, but until then, it runs in PlayOnLinux.
Follow my step-by-step guide on installing, configuring and optimizing Hawken in Linux with PlayOnLinux.
Note: This guide applies to the Steam version of Hawken. Other versions may require additional steps.
Tips & Specs:
Try SteamPlay before using this guide as Valve now uses a fork of Wine called Proton and should run most Windows games.
