ProThe long weekend is here and with it comes a regular dose of great free games from Epic Games Store. So if you don't fancy outdoor activities, which the weather should be kind to you in the coming days, you now have a unique opportunity to enjoy games you would otherwise pay for in your free time. These aren't exactly AAA titles, but I dare say that if you give them a try, they're worth it.ancIf you like them, these titles have the potential to keep you entertained for hours. In fact, I've experienced exactly that myself countless times. The good thing is that the games are free forever, if you add them to your game library on Epic Games StoreIn other words, you don't actually have to play them now and you'll still have them.

Mechabellum

Mechabellum is a tactical strategy that may not seem particularly complicated at first glance, but it will quickly show that you won't get far without thinking. The game is based on automatically ongoing battles of giant futuristic armies, and your task is to correctly select, deploy and improve units before each round. The key is to react to your opponent, because practically every unit has its strengths and a natural opponent who can eliminate it relatively easily. Gradually, larger and larger battles full of mechs, tanks, flying machines and other units arise, the watching of which is surprisingly addictive in itself. Multiplayer plays a big role in which you never know exactly what your opponent will come up with in the next round and whether he will break the strategy that you have been building for several rounds. However, there is also the option to play against the computer or try other game modes. Mechabellum is simply the type of strategy whose principle you will understand in a few minutes, but which can take dozens of hours to truly master.

Astrea: Six Sided Oracles

If Mechabellum doesn't appeal to you, you can also try a completely different type of strategy this week. Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles combines roguelike principles with deckbuilding, but instead of classic cards, dice play the main role here. During individual quests, you gradually build your own set of dice, the rolls of which subsequently decide the options in turn-based battles. The Purification and Corruption system is particularly interesting, thanks to which even a seemingly bad roll does not necessarily have to be a disaster and the game constantly forces you to work with risk. There are six different Oracles available, each of which offers its own abilities and style of play, so individual passages can differ quite significantly. In addition, you gradually unlock new dice, abilities and other options that you can experiment with in subsequent attempts. Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles is an interesting alternative, especially for players who like games in the Slay the Spire style, but want to try classic deckbuilding in a slightly unconventional form.
