Epic Games gives away critically acclaimed indie RPG and whimsical adventure

Epic Games Unleashes a Critically Acclaimed Indie Gem and a Whimsical Adventure

The digital storefront war between gaming giants continues, with Epic Games once again stepping into the ring to offer players a generous bounty. This week, the platform is showering its community with not one, but two intriguing titles, ensuring that even budget-conscious gamers can expand their libraries with exciting new experiences.

Eastern Exorcist: A Dark, Stylized Journey Through a Demon-Infested World

Headlining this week's giveaway is 'Eastern Exorcist,' a striking 2D action-RPG that garnered significant acclaim, even earning a nomination for Best Indie Game at The Game Awards 2020. This title plunges players into a world steeped in the dark, atmospheric aesthetics of traditional Chinese ink wash painting. You assume the role of a seasoned exorcist, a lone warrior tasked with purging a land plagued by malevolent demons, ancient curses, and pervasive dread. The combat system is a dance of precision, demanding adept parries, well-timed counter-attacks, and a keen understanding of enemy patterns. What truly sets 'Eastern Exorcist' apart is its narrative depth; players can choose between two distinct story paths, each featuring unique protagonists, formidable bosses, diverse locales, and challenging moral quandaries. Furthermore, the game incorporates elements of the Metroidvania genre, encouraging players to revisit earlier areas with newly acquired abilities, unlocking secrets and further exploring the intricate lore.

Jorel’s Brother and The Most Important Game of the Galaxy: A Vibrant, Surreal Escape

Complementing the dark fantasy of 'Eastern Exorcist' is 'Jorel’s Brother and The Most Important Game of the Galaxy.' This title offers a starkly different, yet equally captivating, experience. Inspired by the beloved Brazilian animated series 'Jorel's Brother,' this is a vibrant point-and-click adventure game that embraces absurdity and charm. Join the titular protagonist on a bizarre interstellar journey alongside Jorel’s Brother, encountering a cast of eccentric characters and navigating a narrative filled with surreal humor. The game boasts a distinctive, colorful cartoon aesthetic, intuitive controls, and three self-contained episodes, each presenting its own unique narrative and set of challenges. Gameplay mechanics are a delightful blend of interactive dialogues, engaging mini-games, sticker collection, and thorough exploration of its imaginative environments. It’s a refreshing contrast, offering a lighthearted and whimsical escapade.

Don't Miss Out: A Limited-Time Offer

This generous double giveaway from Epic Games is a fantastic opportunity for players to snag two distinct and well-regarded titles. However, time is of the essence. The offer concludes on October 2nd at 18:00 CET. Make sure to claim these games before they vanish back into the digital ether, lest you miss out on these gems.

Looking Ahead: Sales and Promotions on the Horizon

Additionally, Capcom is currently running a themed promotion, offering substantial discounts on popular titles from franchises like Resident Evil and Devil May Cry, among other beloved hits.
