Warpips Free On Epic Games Store, Duskers Next Week

by Rainier on Feb. 16, 2023 @ 8:02 a.m. PST

For the next week, the Epic Games Store is offering one title for free: Warpips.

Warpips

Warpips is a strategic, single-player game of pixelated warfare that lets you build your own army from a diverse roster of powerful vehicles and infantry all while eliminating pesky micromanagement.

Warpips is what would happen if Command and Conquer, Nexus Wars, and Warfare 1914 had a baby made of tanks and napalm.

Set loose the engine of war upon your enemies and watch the chaos of dynamic physics-based combat explode onto the battlefield!

Warpips is the ultimate quick-to-learn but amazingly deep tug-of-war strategy game. Deploy the right composition of soldiers, tanks, helicopters and planes in this tight mechanical strategy-focused combat game. Research the right units, create infinite strategic combinations and call down airstrikes to defeat the enemy.

Battles are randomly generated bringing unlimited replayability that is different each time you play!

Once WarPips, the current free game on the Epic Games Store, has run its course, it will be up to Duskers, which will be gratis starting February 23 until March 2, 2023.

Duskers

Pilot drones into derelict spaceships to find the means to survive and piece together how the universe became a giant graveyard.

You are a drone operator, surrounded by old gritty tech that acts as your only eyes and ears to the outside world. What you hear comes through a remote microphone. What you see is how each drone sees the world. Motion sensors tell you something's out there, but not what. And when you issue commands, you do it through a command line interface.

You have to earn everything in Duskers, scavenging drone upgrades, drones, and even ship upgrades. But dangerous creatures lurk in these derelict ships, and weapons are rare, so you may need to think of a clever way to explore a military outpost using only a motion sensor and a lure.

But even if you find a way, the sensor that you rely on may break down, or you may run out of lures, even your drone's camera feed can start to fail. A favorite strategy can't be exploited for long, so you'll have to continually adapt.

Duskers is set in a procedurally generated Universe, and when you die you lose everything. You not only need to worry about what hazards lay waiting for you in the derelicts, but also running out of fuel, or parts to modify your drones and ship. You are alone, isolated in the dark reaches of space. Only by sifting through what ship logs remain un-corrupted can you piece together what happened.
