It’s Thursday, and which means new free games on the Epic Store. Between now and February 20th there are two fairly fight-y games up for grabs. The first is Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a uncommon medieval RPG that focuses extra on historic stuff moderately than the fantastical. Next up is Aztez, a side-scrolling brawler set in Aztec occasions when the one colors they’d had been purple, white and black.
Released in 2018, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an open-world game set in Bohemia within the 12 months 1403. It’s a way more historic method to that kind of game, leaving out a number of the fantasy components you usually see in medieval RPGs. That’s novel, and it’s fairly deece.
“The measure of an open world is ultimately not the story it tells but whether you’re happy to kill time within it, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance offers plenty of ways to do that, even if a lot of them will, in fact, get you slaughtered,” Edwin Evans-Thirlwell mentioned in our Kingdom Come: Deliverance review. “It isn’t the departure I was hoping for, thanks to a shortage of character to set against the nuance of its historical sandbox, but the grubby realism is a pleasant shock next to the tales of elves and dragons that are its nearest competition.”
Your different free possibility, Aztez, is a beat ’em up/technique hybrid the place you management an elite fight unit of the Aztec Empire to kill every kind of warriors and mythological enemies. Our former Alec liked Aztez when he performed it in 2017:
“I felt fairly alarmed during the tutorial, as it issued combo command after combo command at me, but in practice it’s far more organic, learning what works against which foes and lurching happily out of your comfort zone once you’ve nailed the basics. And, when the fighting’s done, it’s time to nab some cities, play some cards and push back against the dastardly Spanish invasion.”
You can seize these now over on the Epic Store. Next week’s providing is Faeria, a magical technique card game that’ll be free between the 20th and 27th of February.
