It's sad to see a gem like this disappear. I'm not clear on where the money has been going for the last 10 years, but grab it while you can.

It was enjoyable. I'm surprised to see that it never crossed 100 reviews. The final boss was really jank but i played it at launch. It was a pretty fun 6 degrees of freedom shooter back when those were very hard to find. Worth it if you like that sort of thing, but maybe pick it up on sale.

Retrovirus was a fantastic 6DOF fighter/RPG hybrid with some slick themes. Cadenza Interactive released a variety of titles back in the day, all of them fantastic. It's a shame they're no longer around.
If you're trying to get it to run on Proton, try adding the following to your launch options and using Proton GE 9-22:
WINE_MONO_OVERRIDES=Microsoft.Xna.Framework.*,Gac=y %command%
It doesn't seem to work every time, but it works often enough and I'm glad to get a chance to play the game again.

Fantastic soundtrack.
Eight hours of gameplay easily on your first playthrough; ten if you're unfamiliar with 6DOF games.
Fully voiced campaign. Lots of charm.
Beautiful graphics.
Polished gameplay.
Loved the bit at the end where only the Interrupt (red shotgun) works on the final boss.
This year it will no longer be for sale.
See you space cowboy.
