There are more than a few words that just plain didn’t exist twenty years ago, but when I say that this week’s free Epic Games Store game is a roguelike autobattler, I’m going to assume you all know what I’m on about. I’d actually go out on a limb and say it has a fair amount in common with deckbuilders, too, but that might be one niche too far.
Knightica is, as previously mentioned, a roguelike autobattler with a focus on creating synergies within your burgeoning army as you battle through increasingly difficult stages. You’re there to free the kingdoms, if the big picture interests you. It’s cartoonish, it’s colorful, and it looks like my kind of thing.
Field the most effective team you can in the space provided – will you go for a ton of little troops to flood the opposition, or will you try to find a balance with hulking units that take up much more of the battlefield? Finding your style is going to be pretty important, I’d imagine.
There’s just the one free game this week, but it looks like a meaty one, so it should fill up basically all your free time until next Thursday rolls around. Knightica is free to keep via the Epic Games Store. You can claim it between Thursday, November 12 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 4pm GMT / 5pm CET and Thursday, November 19 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 4pm GMT / 5pm CET. Get it here while you can.
