For the King and Metro: Last Light Redux Free on Epic Games Store
Epic Games Store is known for offering members a free game every week. This week they are giving out an additional game for their troubles. While vastly different, the two games feature their own unique variant of brutal gameplay.
For the King is a turn-based combat strategy game with roguelike elements and gorgeous artwork. Players fight in a party against a variety of enemies and begin a new playthrough with each death. The game features maps, enemies, and quests that are procedurally generated, ensuring every playthrough is different.
For the King implements a roguelike system where progression is accomplished through failure. The goal in For the King is not to beat the game, but to see how much better you can do than last time. The game can be played either single-player or online co-op.
Metro: Last Light Redux is a remastered version of the original game made released in 2013 and a sequel to 2010's Metro 2033. It is a post-apocalyptic first-person shooter set in Russia after the fallout of a nuclear war. The game favors a single-player story campaign over multiplayer modes.
In Metro: Last Light, players control a Russian soldier trying to survive in a nuclear wasteland filled with mutants and monsters. The soldier lives in the abandoned Moscow Metro system and must traverse the underground tracks in search of the mysterious Dark Ones. The game combines traditional FPS gameplay with stealth and survival horror elements.
To claim the free games, players must have an account with Epic Games Store. Players can sign in with their Facebook, Google, Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, Nintendo, Steam, or Apple profiles to make the process smoother. The game can be downloaded to their preferred console or service once they have set up an Epic Games Store account.
For the King and Metro: Last Light Redux will be free on the Epic Games Store until Feb. 11.
