Gamers around the globe are in for a real treat. Two of the best indie games ever made are free to keep on the Epic Games Store, with no caveat. Bloons Tower Defense 6 and Loop Hero both have overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam – and for a good reason too. These two masterpieces are the absolute cream of the crop regarding strategy games. Make sure to claim them fast, as they won’t be available forever.
Bloons Tower Defense 6
What started as an old flash game in the early 2000s has now evolved into a tower defense game like no other. Bloons TD 6 provides hours of entertainment for experts and newcomers alike. Plus, the development team offers a near-constant outflow of significant updates and patches, so the game always stays fresh.
The game has hit the Epic Games Store at a fantastic time, as it just received a substantial update that has massively shaken up the meta. Bloons TD 6 is available for free until August 10, 2023.
Loop Hero
Loop Hero is something of an enigma. While most deck-building games see you level up the protagonist, Loop Hero has players evolve and create the universe in which the protagonist exists! This turns the game into a wonderfully addicting balancing act, where players must find equilibrium between the world’s buildings, terrain, and enemies.
Similarly to Bloons TD 6, Loop Hero will sink its hooks into you and refuse to let go with its ridiculous amount of replayability. The game is free for all until August 10, 2023.
Upcoming Free Games
The Epic Games Store can’t provide the best indie games ever all the time, but there are still some great games on the horizon. Between August 10th and August 17th, players can permanently claim Europa Universalis 4, along with the dystopic Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You.
