Plus card battler Ancient Enemy
Head on over to the Epic Games Store this week and you’ll find two free games and a feeling of deja vu. The games areAncient EnemyandKilling Floor 2, and it’s the latter that triggered the memory trip for me - becauseit was also free on Epic this week two years ago. But hey, if you missed it, the zombie shooter still one of thebest co-op games, so grab it while you can.
Tripwire’s zombshooter is about gory wave defense, with sloppy guns, lots of feedback, and cosmetic nonsense piled on top. It’s six years-old and getting on a bit now, but I’d still rather play in Killing Floor 2’s fight pit than, say, the much less gratifyingBack 4 Blood. If you would too, you’ve got until July 14th at 4pmto add it to your account at the Epic Games Store.
Ancient Enemy is a less well-known card battler inspired by British mythology, although one dealt by old hands. It’s made by Grey Alien Games, the developers behindRegency Solitaire,which Pip loved, andShadowhand,which Brendy didn’t. It was also made in collaboration with Jim Rossignol, one of the dads that birthed baby RPS (then sold the baby to a new corporate daddy).
When Nate and Matt delivered theirAncient Enemy verdict, they found it “cosy, predictable, satisfying”, for better and for worse. You’ve got until the same July 14th deadline toadd it for free to your account with Epic’s game store, the Epic Game Store.
