For the next week, the Epic Games Store is offering one title for free: Astro Duel 2.

Astro Duel 2

Astro Duel 2 is a sci-fi combat game combining top-down space dog fights with up-close platforming action. Whether versus or co-op, battle through space and on foot at the same time! Strike within the fully-destructible arenas or just nuke ‘em from orbit.

Pilot an elite Nano Fighter that lets you smoothly transition between space flight and ground combat. Enter gravity zones to instantly absorb your ship and switch controls to platforming action.

Pick from a roster of unique ships. Each with a different play style and advantages. Warp, Drill, Reflect - Each ship is armed with a powerful special ability. Shared traits like the ship dash make it easy to switch between styles.

Pickup and deploy useful items including mines, shields, shotguns, and grenades. Get creative by using the fully-destructible levels to your advantage. Or just nuke them from orbit.

Play solo or co-op in Bounty Mode. Fight off savage beasts and their wranglers. Purchase job intel and upgrades in the Shadow Market. Locate the elusive Data Dog?

Once Astro Duel 2, the current free game on the Epic Games Store, has run its course, it will be up to The Bridge and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, which will be gratis starting March 15 until March 21, 2024.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a cyberpunk action-RPG where your choices have lasting consequences. You play as Adam Jensen, an augmented covert operative intent on taking down the Illuminati, a shadowy group conspiring for control over humanity’s future.

The year is 2029, and mechanically augmented humans have now been deemed outcasts, living a life of complete and total segregation from the rest of society.

Now an experienced covert operative, Adam Jensen is forced to operate in a world that has grown to despise his kind. Armed with a new arsenal of state-of-the-art weapons and augmentations, he must choose the right approach, along with who to trust, in order to unravel a vast worldwide conspiracy.

The Bridge

The Bridge is a logic puzzle game that forces you to reevaluate your preconceptions of physics and perspective. It is Isaac Newton meets M. C. Escher. Manipulate gravity to redefine the ceiling as the floor while venturing through impossible architectures. Explore increasingly difficult worlds, each uniquely detailed and designed to leave you with a pronounced sense of intellectual accomplishment. The Bridge exemplifies games as an art form, with beautifully hand-drawn art in the style of a black-and-white lithograph.

  • Mind-bending puzzle solving: 48 thought-provoking puzzles, each unique from the rest, all requiring an innovative solution.
  • Topsy-turvy world: Gravity manipulations, gravitational vortexes, parallel dimensions, and many more mind-bending concepts in a world where the laws of physics are not what they seem.
  • M. C. Escher comes to life: M. C. Escher-esque worlds with impossible architecture set in the style of beautifully hand-drawn black-and-white lithographic art.
  • Alternate ending and bonus puzzles: An alternate version of the game unlocked after the main storyline has been completed, including challenging alternate versions of each of the 24 main puzzles, along with an alternate ending.
  • And you can rewind time!: A time-backtracking system to alleviate any fears of making a mistake.
