The Epic Games Store has refreshed its weekly lineup, offering one standout title for PC gamers. If you have been hunting for a fast-paced Metroidvania to sink your teeth into, you can currently claim Doomblade for free.
Doomblade
While the genre has seen a massive surge of high-quality releases recently—ranging from long-awaited sequels to vibrant indie gems—Doomblade stands out as a polished 2023 title worth your time. The narrative follows Gloom Girl, a protagonist who discovers and wields the titular Doomblade, a sentient weapon imprisoned for centuries. Together, they embark on a vengeful crusade to dismantle the oppressive Dread Lords who held the blade captive.
The gameplay is characterized by high-octane movement and stylish combat. True to the Metroidvania blueprint, your progression is tied to recovering the blade’s lost abilities, allowing you to traverse previously unreachable areas and systematically overpower your foes. The game has received significant praise from critics and maintains a “Very Positive” standing on Steam, supported by hundreds of glowing player reviews.
