We are more than used to the generosity of Epic Games in its store. Every week, they give away a game, sometimes two, and other times three, as is the case this week. This week is quite special, not only because of the quantity but also because of the quality of the titles, and additionally because one of the three was just released on the market. On the very day of its launch, Epic Games Store is offering it for free.
Deliver At All Cost
This game is the latest from Konami, released on May 22 of this year for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC, available on Epic Games Store, Steam, and GOG at a price of 30 euros. However, you can get it for free if you claim it on the Epic store. The game was developed in Unity by Studio Far Out Games, marking their first release. A few months ago, the first trailers were published, and since then, it has managed to capture the community’s attention thanks to its intriguing concept.
A sandbox with an isometric view set in 1959, featuring destructible environments where you must deliver all kinds of cargo while driving like a maniac and sowing chaos along the way. The setting looks excellent, the absurd yet well-implemented plot promises to offer a memorable story, and its mechanics are a visual feast that seems to be a true delight.
Gigapocalypse
This is a curious indie title that puts us in control of kaijus, those giant monsters like Godzilla, to destroy everything in our path, raze entire cities, eliminate armies trying to stop us, and ultimately fight against other giant monsters.
Both its premise and the retro aesthetic with great pixel art remind us of the classic Rampage. However, unlike Rampage, our movement is automatic, and while we can destroy buildings, we cannot climb them. In addition to the destructive frenzy, there is a progression system that allows us to unlock and upgrade abilities for our kaijus, as well as the option to unlock pets to assist us in battle. As if that weren’t enough, it also includes a feature to raise our own monsters from babies to becoming the greatest threats ever seen, all with a Tamagotchi-style aesthetic and mechanics.
Sifu
It probably needs no introduction, but if you’re unfamiliar, Sifu is a magnificent 3D Beat’em Up that incorporates roguelike elements and a highly innovative premise: every time we die, our character is reborn but one year older. The older we get, the more experience we gain (and thus better skills) and the more damage we can deal, but in return, our damage resistance is reduced.
This game stands out not only for its innovative concept but also for its spectacular and refined combat mechanics. It’s not just about the number of available combinations but also the way we can use the environment to our advantage. It’s a challenging game that’s tough to master but incredibly satisfying once you learn to play. With enough experience, your gameplay will feel like watching a great Kung-Fu movie, reminiscent of Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan classics, not the B-movie kind.
