Two great games
Shadow Tactics is such a goodreal-time tacticsstealth strategy gamethat it rejuvenated the genre. There’s a chance you already own the sneaky samurai sim, however, and much less of a chance that you own its standalone expansion,Aiko’s Choice. It’s the latter that is currently being given away for free over on the Epic Games Store.
Kerbal Space Program is about designing your own rockets and blowing them up on the launchpad until you finally internalise enough about physics to get one into orbit. Then the real fun begins, as you learn how to dock ships together, touch down on the Mun, and expand across the solar system. It’s fantastic andfree to keep from the Epic Games Storefrom now until January 12th at 4pm GMT/11am ET.
Shadow Tactics: Aiko’s Choice, meanwhile, feels like exactly the kind of game that goes overlooked. The original Shadow Tactics: Blades Of The Shogun was a surprise hit and developers Mimimi moved on to create the better and evenmore successful Desperados 3. It was a surprise when they returned with Aiko’s Choice - and even when standalone, expansions often feel less essential than base games.
But Aiko’s Choice is more Shadow Tactics, and designed to be played by those who have already finished the base game. If you never got around to it and can’t wait for whatever Mimimi are making next, you cannow grab it free to keep from the Epic Games Store- also until January 12th.
