This week, the new shooter Cygni is waiting for you as an Epic gift. There are also two more free offers
Like every Thursday, the Epic Games Store is once again giving you a week’s worth of games. These include a top-down shooter that has just been released and will only be available for free at launch.
You can also get a beat’em up and a hero bundle for Apex Legends for free for a week. Let us introduce you to the individual offers
Free game 1: Cygni: All Guns Blazing
Normally, Epic tends to give away slightly older games. ButCygni: All Guns Blazingis an exciting exception, as the shoot’em’up has just been released. It will only be free for the first week, after which the normal retail price of 30 euros will apply. The game is also available via Steam, but there is no free promotion there
You shoot your way through various neon levels with your spaceship, decide whether you prefer to use energy for more oomph or for better defense and fight against air fleets and ground offensives. Every now and then a huge alien boss awaits you. The game has a rather meagre 56 percent positive user reviews at launch on Steam. Many comments criticize the available content as being too little for the normal retail price.
Free game 2: DNF Duel
If you prefer to get personal when fighting, the second free game of the week might be right for you: DNF Duelis – surprisingly – all about duels. The fighting game lets you choose from 16 different characters with whom you can then engage in fast-paced fist and foot fights.
This is possible in numerous game modes:Story, Arcade, Survival Mode, Multiplayer Duels, Ranked Mode and more. There’s also tons of stuff to unlock, so you definitely won’t get bored. DNF Duel has 63 percent positive reviews on Steam, but the title no longer has too many regular players – so be prepared for waiting times in multiplayer
Anything else?
In addition to the two games, you can also geta hero bundle for Apex Legendsfor free. This includes the shield healer Conduit and her skin. Of course, you need the (also free) base game to redeem the offer.
