Everrest looks like one to stick onto your wishlist and keep an eye on, if you like the sound of "Hades meets EarthBound" as the developer tells me.
In an email to GamingOnLinux they said:
"Think Hades meets EarthBound, with the isometric exploration of Super Mario RPG. You're a boy trapped in his dreams, fighting his way awake with a pillow. It's made in Godot, and a native Linux build is planned alongside Windows, with Steam Deck targeted."
See the trailer they provided below:

"A boy falls asleep. Then his dream wakes up. It's alive, it's a little weird, and it won't let him go home. All he's got is his pillow. It'll have to do.
His pillow is all he has, so he learns to use it well. Chain swings into combos, throw it across the room, slam it down from the air, dash through danger and parry at the last moment.
The creatures of the dream, called Figments, each fight in their own way: mushrooms that wind up a heavy leaf, wisps that hang back and spit, thorny things that grow spikes from the ground. Learn their tells, wait for your opening, and hit back.
Stars fall into the dream, and every star is a Wish. Discover a new one and unlock it for future runs. Where stars land, two Wishes rise, and you choose which one to carry through the rest of the run.
Wishes change how you fight: pillows that circle around you, throws that chase enemies down, bombs that stick to enemies and call down lightning. Some work better together, so every run you build something a little different."
Sounds like a truly wonderful idea, and I do love the EarthBound inspired visual style to it. Seems like another unique blending of worlds and game mechanics here.
