Epic Games’ free games this week are Mindcop and Shogun Showdown. Players can add both games to their libraries through Epic Games until September 24.
Mindcop combines a story-driven adventure with real-time match-three puzzles as a nonlinear “whodunit” detective game. Shogun Showdown, meanwhile, is a turn-based fighting game featuring roguelike and deck-building elements. To claim the games, users need to log in with their Epic Games account and click the “Install” option on the relevant page.
Why it matters
This week’s campaign offers players seeking different gaming experiences two separate options at the same time: one focuses on story and detective work, while the other centers on strategy, deck-building and turn-based combat. As a result, the free content appeals not only to followers of a single genre but also to Epic Games users with different preferences, ranging from narrative-driven adventures to tactical gameplay. Those who want to take advantage of the offer need to make sure they do not miss September 24 and complete the process of adding the games to their accounts by that date. The main point left open by the announcement is which games will follow this weekly distribution in the next period; the current announcement covers only the access period and acquisition conditions for Mindcop and Shogun Showdown.
