'Wargame Red Dragon' Free On Epic Games Store, 'Surviving Mars' Next Week

by Rainier on March 4, 2021 @ 11:30 a.m. PST

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

Wargame Red Dragon is a real time strategy game that takes us deep into the Eastern territories with a host of new features.

Wargame Red Dragon, the third game in this series of stragegy games, is now even more ambitious and, similar to Wargame AirLand Battle, contains a host of new features. Wargame Red Dragon essentially retains the same game mechanics that made the series so successful, but the action leaves Europe for the first time and shifts to a conflict in central Asia between 1975 and 1991.

Five new nations, among which China and North Korea, join the armed forces in Wargame with over 450 new units. The introduction of naval and amphibian units is a particular highlight, and the maritime and river areas provide fresh strategic opportunities! The full cohort of each army is therefore represented with a phenomenal total of more than 1,300 units and combat vehicles, all reproduced in meticulous detail from real military hardware. A new solo campaign plunges players headlong into a hellish war around Korea, while Wargame's extensive, road-tested multiplayer mode will engage them in some intense and spectacular battles with up to 20 other players simultaneously!

Once Wargame: Red Dragon, the current free game on the Epic Games Store, has runs its course, it will be up to Surviving Mars, which will be gratis starting March 11 until March 18, 2021.

Surviving Mars is a new management strategy game that challenges players to colonize the Red Planet.

Surviving Mars will put players in charge of the first functioning colony on the Red Planet, where resources are thin, the environment is hostile, and human colonists will need to balance productivity with sanity.

Surviving Mars challenges players to plan and build a functioning colony on Mars, balancing inhabitants’ basic survival needs with sanity and quality of life, all while dealing with the hostile environment of the red planet.

In Surviving Mars , players will lead a colonization effort on the surface of Mars, from the very first rovers and supply drops to the construction of suitable habitats for brave settlers from Earth. Every colonist will be vital to the mission as the colony struggles to gain a foothold where the environment is hostile and resources are scarce. With each success, however, players will gain the ability to expand further, and even establish a thriving society – and lead a new generation that has never known the Earth.

Couch colonists can look forward to ultra-high-definition visuals for their missions, with 4K support offered on both the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro consoles. For PC players, Surviving Mars will offer community-created modifications with full modding tools and support – including mods available at launch from some of Paradox’s most talented community creators.

Surviving Mars is available on Xbox One, PS4, and Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs
