One of the better unknown games I’ve played. It’s free right now. Give it a go if you like rogue-like/souls-like types. Very rewarding gameplay (and pretty difficult).

    I don’t understand this way of thinking tbh. Its free. Who cares. I never buy anything on epic. I just claim and play free games they give away. I don’t fanboy any corporation.

      Because that way you give relevancy to that platform, and let it take your data.

      Fuck Epic, they should make better products, not give away free shit.

      If they ever get any relevant amount of users, they will enshittify so hard you won’t believe it.

        Yes, Epic launcher is shit. But steams features aren’t all it is praised to be either. I like some of it like the recording feature and steam link. But ANYTHING on steam involving community is absolute garbage. Guides are just meme bullshit. Discussion forums for games are filled with hate speech, points farming and incels. Screenshots is a ton of sexual stuff. Their customer service is horrific. Moderation is almost non existent. CS2 is a gambling similator filled with underaged addicts and Valve profits a ton from them.

        I own a steam deck and use it everyday. But only for games because any Steam aspect involving the platform is absolute shit.

        So besides games being discounted a ton, Steam is pretty shit and Valve doesn’t give a shit because they rake in money while sitting on their asses.

      Yeah I mean, it’s silly as shit.

      Both Epic and Valve are like multi-billionaires in the gaming industry. So it’s silly to me that people are rah-rah’ing for one billionaire over another billionaire. And please spare me the launcher comparisons, I know Steam is like feature rich, though it is because of it’s stupid social features and built-in Chromium browser that it had to cut off old OS support.

      I don’t care for any of that shit, game is a game.

      If you have to install Epic launcher to play it, you might as well pirate. Your odds of installing spyware on your system are much lower on the high seas.
