Epic Games Store gives away Astrea and Mechabellum until October 1

Epic Games Store is giving away Astrea: Six- Side Oracles and Mechabellum for free until October 1. Claim these niche strategy games before they are replaced.

Epic Games is giving PC players two more free titles this week, which means you can expand your library without spending a dime. The store is hosting Astrea: Six-Side Oracles and Mechabellum until the end of the month, offering a chance to grab niche strategy games that might otherwise cost money. This is a practical opportunity for fans of roguelikes and auto-battlers to try out these specific mechanics risk-free.

Free dice-based roguelike and mech auto-battler available until October 1

The first title, Astrea: Six-Side Oracles, is a deck-building roguelike that replaces traditional cards with dice. According to Epic Games Store, the game features a unique dual damage system centered around the theme of Purification versus Corruption. Using dice instead of cards introduces a distinct tactical layer compared to traditional deck-building games in the genre.

Mechabellum serves as the second free offering and is described as an epic mech auto-battler. It is a 3D strategy game where players command mechs in automated combat scenarios. The game offers a unique visual and mechanical experience that contrasts with the dice-based roguelike released alongside it.

You can claim both Astrea: Six-Side Oracles and Mechabellum for free until October 1. Once that date passes, the current free games will be replaced by Buried Stars and System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster. Players who want to keep these titles in their library should log in and add them to their account before the deadline.
