As with previous offerings, today’s free download is not a demo or a trial; it is the full game available at no cost. Users need only an Epic Games Store account, which is free to create, to take advantage of this offer. Once the game is redeemed, it remains in the user’s library permanently, allowing for endless enjoyment. However, gamers should be mindful of the limited time frame for this offer.
The game available for download is Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles, a 2023 release developed by Little Leo Games and published by Akupara Games. This unique title is described as a “dice-deck-building roguelike,” setting it apart from traditional deck-building games.
Upon its release, Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles received a commendable score of 85 on Metacritic. Additionally, the game has garnered over 2,700 user reviews on Steam, with an impressive 92 percent of players rating it positively, earning it a “Very Positive” status. This strong reception from both critics and gamers alike speaks volumes about its quality and appeal.
For those unfamiliar with the game, the official description highlights its innovative mechanics: “Astrea is a dice-deck-building roguelike that flips the script on deckbuilders by using dice instead of cards and a unique dual ‘damage’ system: Purification vs Corruption. Build a dice pool strong enough to purify Astrea’s out-of-control corruption and save the Star System.”
Typically priced at .99, this offer provides a significant saving for players. The game boasts between 10 to 25 hours of core gameplay, depending on whether players focus solely on the main storyline or explore additional side content. Completionists can expect to invest closer to 50 hours to fully experience everything the game has to offer.
