Alternatively, to play Raid: Shadow Legends on a PC, you can download Plarium Play, which is the official emulator of the publisher.

It doesn't seem to me that the emulator is linux compatible, contrary to what is said in the article.
The download returns an .exe ... so unless you have a VM or can miraculously make a winelike work ... it's dead.

Indeed, I just checked and the Linux version is no longer available (discontinued by Plarium). Thanks for reporting this! The only way to play Raid on Linux is to install a compatible emulator like Genymotion (but you have to pay for it).
