This week, the Epic Games Store is delighting its users with the opportunity to claim two impressive free titles. For a brief period, players can acquire a role-playing game reminiscent of 90s childhoods and a valuable cosmetic collection for a beloved sandbox massively multiplayer online role-playing game.
Detailed Gaming Offers from Epic Games
For enthusiasts who cherished the card game culture of the 1990s, the Epic Games Store presents Cardpocalypse. This engaging card-battler and narrative-driven RPG captures the essence of growing up in the 90s. The game's storyline unfolds when an elementary school's popular card game faces an unexpected ban, prompting students to take their passion underground. Intriguingly, characters from the game begin appearing in the real world. Players are tasked with constructing formidable card decks to combat these creatures. Additionally, Cardpocalypse features a roguelike Gauntlet Mode, ensuring each playthrough offers a distinct challenge with unique deck configurations and battle scenarios.
Alongside Cardpocalypse, Epic Games is also offering the Albion Online — Epic Mage Bundle. Albion Online, a fantasy MMORPG that has maintained a strong player base since its 2017 launch, boasts overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam. A defining feature of Albion Online is its crafting system, where nearly every item is player-made. Furthermore, character progression is fluid, with playstyles determined by equipment rather than fixed classes. The Epic Mage Bundle, valued at over $55, provides a comprehensive collection of skins, tokens, Learning Points, and more. This includes the Mage Adventurer Wardrobe & Mount Skin Bundle (featuring a full Mage Wardrobe, Armored Horse Mount Skin, Spellbook Weapon Skin, and Guild Customization), a Mistwolf Mount Skin, 400 Community Tokens, 3 Scrolls of Fame, 500 Learning Points, 10 Adept's Focus Restoration Potions, and 10 Adept's Tomes of Insight.
To claim these enticing offers, users simply need to log into the Epic Games Store. Both Cardpocalypse and the Albion Online — Epic Mage Bundle will be available for free until Thursday, August 27, at 11 a.m. EDT.
