As always, Thursdays are big days on the Epic Games Store. The current game being given away gets replaced, and the company also announces what will be added the next week. This gives Epic Games Store users plenty of time to look into the coming game, find out if they’re interested, play the new game, or claim it later if they can’t specifically on Thursday.
For March 24, the new Epic Games Store giveaway is Demon’s Tilt. This is a pinball game inspired by the occult, and users will have until March 31 at 10 am Ct to claim it. At this time, it will be replaced, and Epic Games Store has revealed not one, but two games being given away on March 31—Total War: Warhammer and City of Brass.
Total War: Warhammer is a big strategy game where players must fight in epic real-time fantasy battles, building up their empire. Players can take on the role of the Empire, Dwarves, Vampire Counts, Greenskin tribes, and more, discovering different races, unique characters, special units, and more in their time. Indeed, in it, players can navigate the world and build their playstyle to their liking.
Meanwhile, City of Brass sees players take on the role of a thief in a rogue-lite first-person dungeon crawler game. Perhaps most interestingly, it is made by former BioShock developers. Players are equipped with a scimitar and a whip. It is set in a procedurally generated city, filled with interconnecting rooms and areas, and players attempt to find a treasure hidden in the heart of the city.
Total War: Warhammer is sitting at an 86 Metascore, indicating generally favorable reviews, and 7.4 user score for mixed or average reviews over on Metacritic. City of Brass sits at a 69 Metascore for mixed or average reviews, and it falls short of that at a 3.9 for generally unfavorable reviews. It seems many have taken issues with the latter’s lack of a story, controls, general technical difficulties, and overall difficulty; however, it sounds like something many dungeon crawler fans should check out for themselves.
Players will have until April 7 to claim both of these games, should they choose to do so. At the very least, these two Epic Games Store titles seem varied enough that they may appeal to many users of the store. How it stacks up to the past months, as well as future games released on the store, however, is up in the air.
Epic Games Store users get a handful of free games every month.
