After making The Falconeer available to its users for free last week, the Epic Games Store is updating its free games showcase, which this time features a single title: the Windows and Mac game Floppy Knights. You’ll have until next Thursday, July 18 to download it for free and enjoy it forever.
Originally released in May 2022, Floppy Knights is a curious game that combines battles with strategy through cards. With a strong nostalgic element (the characters that can be used for combat take the form of classic PC floppy disks), the game has a colorful and varied aesthetic that brings the card game to life. There are 18 achievements available, and up to a thousand EXP points to earn.
«Tactics merge with card game mechanics as Phoebe and Carlton, a brilliant young inventor and her robotic arm best friend, face off in turn-based battles. Select your Knights, perfect your deck, and execute your strategy for victory!» defines the Steam website, where the regular price of the title is 17.99 euros.
This is, therefore, a nice indie game, with which to disconnect and end up addicted to its entertaining mechanics. Developed by Rose City Games, it is available for PCs from Windows 7 64-bit and also for Apple computers with macOS Sierra or later. This is a title to take into account, especially, by Mac users. Since MacBooks are not especially powerful for playing, a title like this that has simple graphics and is not based on open multiplayer, should work well on these computers without abusing resources (it requires at least 4GB of RAM).
In the words of one fan of the game on YouTube, “It’s good especially if you like tactics and card games. The story has humor and isn’t cheesy. The UI and control scheme could use some tweaking in my opinion, but it’s definitely worth a try.” Other titles from the same developer, bathed in the same anime or animated aesthetic, are Garden Story, The World Next Door or LOVESICK.
In addition to this new feature, we can download other Epic Games games for free, such as Zenless Zone Zero, Wuthering Waves or Once Human. You can discover all the free titles available by clicking on ‘See more’ in the section Free Games of the store.
Upcoming free games
While this week we only have one game available, next week we will once again have two games available for free download. So, from July 18 to 25 you can get your hands on Arcade Paradise and Maid of Sker. In the first one you will have the task of converting an old laundry into an arcade, perfect for the most nostalgic. In Maid of Sker, you will enter a first-person survival mode in a remote hotel in the United Kingdom, recommended only for horror lovers over 18.
