Like every week, the Epic Games Store updates on Thursdays and offers one or two games (or even three sometimes) to download for free. This is also what makes the strength of the platform compared to its competitors and it must be admitted that, from time to time, the games offered send heavy. This week, Epic Games treats with a free game, joining the long list of free games of February 2023.
Duskers: The free game of the week
You’re a drone operator, surrounded by gritty old technology that acts as your only eyes and ears to the outside world. What you hear comes from a remote microphone. What you see is how each drone sees the world. Motion sensors tell you something, but not what. And when you issue commands, you do so through a command-line interface.
You have to earn everything in Duskers: pick up drone upgrades, drones, and even ship upgrades. But dangerous creatures lurk in these derelict ships, and weapons are scarce, so you might need to think of a clever way to explore a military outpost using only a motion sensor and a decoy.
But even if you find a way, the sensor you rely on may fail or you may run out of lures, and even your drone’s camera feed may begin to fail. A favorite strategy cannot be exploited for long, so you will have to continually adapt.
Duskers takes place in a procedurally generated universe, and when you die, you lose everything. Not only do you have to worry regarding the dangers ahead, but also the lack of fuel or parts to modify your drones and ship.
You are alone, isolated in the dark reaches of space. Only by sifting through uncorrupted logs can you piece together what happened.
- Duration of the offer : from February 23 to March 2, 2023
- Initial game release : avril 2022
- Usual price : 17,99 €
So you have until next Thursday to get it for free. This obviously requires an Epic Games Store account, logging into the platform and, in most cases, adding a payment method (don’t worry, the games are at 0€ and nothing will be taken from your Bank account)
