Epic Games Store Users Have 24 Hours to Get New Free Game

As a seasoned PC gamer with a knack for scouring the digital marketplaces for hidden gems, I can’t help but feel the thrill of excitement when December rolls around and the Epic Games Store announces their holiday lineup of free games. This year is no exception! With daily free game releases from now until January 2nd, it’s like Christmas came early for us budget-conscious gamers.

Users of the Epic Games Store have a 24-hour window to grab today’s free game before a fresh one takes its place tomorrow, on December 21st. Instead of receiving weekly free games from now until January 2nd, users will be treated to daily surprises during this period. This pattern typically occurs during the holiday season, and it holds true for this year as well. The way the process unfolds remains consistent.

Just as usual, this is a free download option for the full game, not a demo or trial version. There’s no need for subscriptions or fulfilling any specific conditions. All that’s required is an Epic Games Store account, which doesn’t cost anything. Once you redeem it, the game belongs to you forever. However, do keep in mind the limited availability period.

Speaking of the game under discussion, it’s a 2023 production from developer Little Leo Games and publishers Akupara Games. To be precise, the game is called Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles, which they themselves label as a “combination of dice-based mechanics and deck building, set within a roguelike framework.

Upon its debut, I found myself completely immersed in this game that boasted an impressive 85 score on Metacritic. On Steam alone, more than 2,700 fellow gamers have shared their positive experiences with the PC version of the game, with a whopping 92% giving it top marks. That’s why Steam users collectively rate this game as “Very Positive”. To put it simply, it’s clear that both critics and enthusiasts like me can’t stop singing its praises!

Astrea is a novel deck-building game that differs from traditional ones by using dice instead of cards, and it introduces an unusual damage system: Purification versus Corruption. For those new to the game, here’s the gist: Construct a powerful set of dice that can purify Astrea’s rampant corruption in order to save the Star System.

Typically, Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles is priced at $24.99, but right now, you can grab it with a decent discount through the Epic Games Store. The game offers around 10 to 25 hours of main content, with the exact duration depending on whether you focus primarily on the main storyline or explore side content as well. If you’re aiming for completion, though, expect to invest about 50 hours into the game.
