ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove! And Darkwood Free On Epic Games Store, Evoland Legendary Edition And Fallout 3: GotY Edition Next Week

by Rainier on Oct. 13, 2022 @ 8:26 a.m. PDT

For the next week, the Epic Games Store is offering two titles for free: ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove! and Darkwood.

Slain: ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove!

ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove! is a mash-up of the best features from the classic console games with a ton of funky fresh improvements. Relive the original roguelike game with new 4 player online and local co-op, crazy Earthlings, weird presents and aliens from Funkotron!

ToeJam and Earl have crash-landed back on Earth in ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove!, a funky fresh rogue-like adventure infused with old skool hip-hop and jam packed with awesome throwbacks to the 1991 classic. Original Funk Lord (and co-creator) Greg Johnson is back at the helm with the sequel that ToeJam and Earl fans have been waiting for!

The iconic ‘90s duo is back in the groove with all-new presents to help them navigate this wack planet "Earth" and retrieve all the lost pieces to the Rapmaster Rocket. Team up for 4-player co-op play to discover secret locations, hidden presents and new friends as you make your way through a constantly changing and unpredictable world! Maybe ToeJam and Earl shouldn't have taken the Rapmaster Rocket on an intergalactic joyride again, but they probably have a good reason... right? Right.

ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove! is a mash-up of the very best features of the classic console games with a ton of fresh improvements. Grab some homies and get ready for a blast of funky nostalgia as you help ToeJam and Earl return once again to Funkotron.

Once ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove! and Darkwood, the current free games on the Epic Games Store, have run their course, it will be up to Evoland Legendary Edition and Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, which will be gratis starting October 20 until October 27, 2022.

Evoland Legendary Edition

Evoland Legendary Edition is a bundle containing Evoland: A Short Story of Adventure Video Games Evolution & Evoland II: A Slight Case of Spacetime Continuum Disorder

Evoland is a journey through the history of action/adventure gaming, allowing you to unlock new technologies, gameplay systems and graphic upgrades as you progress through the game.

Evoland: A Short Story of Adventure Video Games Evolution

Inspired by many cult series that have left their mark in the RPG video gaming culture, Evoland takes you from monochrome to full 3D graphics and from active time battles to real time boss fights, all with plenty of humor and references to many classic games.

Evoland II: A Slight Case of Spacetime Continuum Disorder

Evoland II: A Slight Case of Spacetime Continuum Disorder graphics style is changing as you travel through time and its gameplay evolves as you move along the storyline. It is also a real RPG at heart, with a deep scenario based on time travel: explore different eras and change the history of the world. But are you sure that the consequences will not make things worse?

Full of humor and references to classic games, the Evoland series brings a truly epic and extraordinary adventure, unlike anything you’ve ever played before!
