The Epic Games Store has renewed its selection of weekly free games, making two different titles available for redemption at no cost. Players can add narrative RPG ‘Citizen Sleeper’ and frenetic rhythm FPS ‘Robobeat’ to their library starting this week. Both games are now available for download on the company’s platform.
Explore the narrative universe of Citizen Sleeper
The first highlight is `Citizen Sleeper`, an acclaimed RPG that draws heavily on board games. The plot immerses participants in the shoes of a “Sleeper”, a human consciousness that has been digitized and inserted into an artificial body. The objective is to survive on an abandoned space station, an environment that reflects the challenges of an intergalactic capitalist society.
The game mechanics are based on a dice rolling system, which is crucial in determining the success of the protagonist’s daily actions. Users will need to manage their resources wisely, form strategic alliances with other station inhabitants, and make complex decisions that will shape their destiny in this futuristic setting.
Action and intense rhythm with Robobeat
For those looking for a more dynamic and reflexive experience, `Robobeat` offers a new level of fun. This title innovatively combines the gameplay of a first-person shooter with rhythm elements and the challenging format of roguelites.
The main objective of the game is to advance through scenarios that are generated procedurally, requiring the player to shoot, slide and run along walls in perfect synchronization with the soundtrack. A unique feature allows users to import their own music, customizing the rhythm of combat according to their personal tastes, which adds a unique layer of immersion.
Both games will be available for free until the next update to Epic Games’ digital store, which traditionally takes place on Thursdays. Once redeemed and added to the player’s account, titles become permanent. This Epic Games strategy aims not only to attract new users, but also to retain its player base, offering a catalog of titles that, once obtained, become part of the user’s library at no additional cost, encouraging the exploration of different genres and engagement with the platform.
