Day 15: Hell Let Loose (2021)
The last free game of the Holiday Sale is Hell Let Loose, an Australian FPS title set in World War Two and first released in early access in 2019. One of its most unique aspects is bringing players to the platoon level of some iconic battles of that dark time.
Get it for free on the Epic Store page.
Day 14: Kingdom Come: Deliverance (2018)
Starting with the plot of avenging a dead family, which we see often, this open-world RPG takes it to a new level with a historically-accurate setting in the Kingdom of Bohemia in the 1400s. The focus on story leads you to make choices that can change the fate of the Holy Roman Empire in a land now known as part of Czechia—where the developers, Warhorse Studios, are from.
To add Kingdom Come: Deliverance to your game library for free, visit the Epic Store page.
Day 13: Sifu (2022)
This 2022 beat ’em up set in China has players take the role of a skilled martial artist on a quest for revenge against the ones who took their family—”their” because you can choose to play as a male or female version of the character. It was one of the games adapted in Amazon Prime Video’s Secret Level, a 2024 anthology series of stories set in the worlds of different digital and tabletop games. One of its most unique aspects is that each resurrection during gameplay makes your character older, unlocking more knowledge but losing some health.
Sifu also has an expansion called Arenas, with a new game mode and dozens of new challenges. You can get it for free with your game download.
Day 12: [REDACTED] (2024)
Drawing comparison to Hades, this roguelike dungeon crawler has players try to escape a prison called Black Iron—which would sound common enough if not for a few twists. But the penitentiary is on Callisto, Jupiter’s icy moon, you’re actually a guard, and you’re fighting for your life after your colleagues and the inmates are all infected by a mysterious condition.
You can check out the Epic Store page for [REDACTED] to add it to your game library.
Day 11: Orcs Must Die! 3 (2024)
In Orcs Must Die! 3 you play either solo or team up with a friend to slay hordes of orcs. You can choose from one of six heroes with different stats and abilities to fight foes, and make use of various types of weapons to switch up your playstyle.
Day 10: KILL KNIGHT (2024)
KILL KNIGHT tasks players with surviving hordes of enemies throughout five layers of “relentless, hand-crafted eldritch arenas” and killing the final angel. Developer PlaySide describes the fast-paced top-down shooter as “ultra-responsive.” Like in other bullet hells, players can unlock an arsenal of weapons and equipment to switch up their playstyle for new and exciting ways to take on the challenge.
Day nine: Hot Wheels Unleashed (2021)
If you were a Hot Wheels kid growing up, this one’s for you. In Hot Wheels Unleashed, you can build your own tracks, race your friends in split-screen or an online multiplayer mode, and collect a host of accolades to show off to the world.
Day eight: Ghostrunner 2 (2023)
Ghostrunner 2 hit digital shelves in 2023 as the highly anticipated sequel to the first-person action game. Set in a futuristic sci-fi world, the game combines platforming elements with classic action-fueled boss fights. You can purchase different abilities to upgrade your attacks, carefully plan your route of attack in each encounter, and solve puzzles through the clever use of your abilities.
Day seven: Control (2019)
Control has returned as a free title to Epic Games Storefront on Christmas Day. You’ll follow Jesse Faden, the new director of a secretive agency, who must deal with an “otherworldly threat.” In Control, you’ll make use of supernatural abilities and customizable loadouts to unearth bizarre secrets and experiments.
Day six: Dredge (2023)
Dredge made our “Best Indies of 2023” list, and for good reason. In this single-player fishing adventure, you travel to a small fishing village, setting out every morning in pursuit of a new day’s catch. But something creepy lurks in these waters, and through a series of quests and dialogues, you’ll discover sunken secrets only Davy Jones knows.
Day five: Dark and Darker – Legendary Status (2024)
The Dark and Darker – Legendary Status will upgrade a free “Squire” account to “Legendary” status, which grants players access to High Roller Dungeons, additional trading privileges, nine more character slots, one shared stash, and more. This requires the base game Dark and Darker, which players can unlock for free by visiting the title’s page on the Epic Games Store.
Dark and Darker is an FPS dungeon PvPvE adventure that was released in the summer of 2024. There are a number of classes players can pick from—like Fighter, Wizard, and Druid—and customize their builds to take on powerful foes.
Day four: Wizard of Legend (2018)
Wizard of Legend is a fast-paced dungeon crawler with roguelike elements, where players use their spells to defeat hordes of enemies. It was released in 2018 following a successful Kickstarter campaign that ended in July 2016, and a sequel is already in the works.
Day three: TerraTech (2018)
In this open-world sandbox, you explore the environment and engage in combat to earn the appropriate resources to bring your creations to life. Each new step brings a new challenge you must survive with creative design skills.
Day two: Astrea: Six Sided Oracles (2023)
This roguelike indie game fits into the world of digital tabletop, mixing the principles of deckbuilding with special six-sided dice. The more hardcore board gamers will recognize the term “dicebuilder,” which was used by some to define it. Your goal is to save the Star System, and you can only do that by using your dice to control the corruption that threatens to take over Astrea.
Day one: Vampire Survivors (2022)
Released in 2022 after a few months in early access, this roguelike shoot ’em up game started as a solo project by indie developer Luca Galante, but the widespread success and acclaim quickly changed things. Now, Poncle is a team of more than 20 people, and Vampire Survivors is available for all consoles, mobile devices, and computers—along with its five DLCs.
You can enter this gothic horror (and somehow casual) world alone or with friends.
