There’s plenty of action coming to the Epic Store this week.
The week is almost over and it’s time for new free games from the Epic Store. This week you can even pick up two titles and keep them forever. Chaotic medieval battles and bloody fights against prehistoric giants await you. We’ll introduce you to the games!
As always, if the Epic games aren’t for you, you can check out the current Steam sale instead if you need to. We have selected a few offers.
Mordhau

Test video for Mordhau – knight nonsense for chaos fans
Have you ever Chivalry played? Then you know exactly what to expect with Mordhau. If not, then our test video with Battlefield in the Middle Ages describes the game quite aptly. Here you end up in chaotic and brutal multiplayer battles with up to 64 players who are fought with sword, ax and bow.
Mordhau features a solid map selection, numerous easy-to-unlock weapons, and bloody combat where perfect slams and blocks are paramount. You can also compete against individual opponents in duel mode, or against the AI in cooperative modes.
Suitable for whom? If you already liked Chivalry or want to prove your fencing skills in the fight against humans instead of NPCs, you could also have fun here. However, you should know that Mordhau doesn’t take itself too seriously and you shouldn’t expect a realistic battle simulation. Steam reviews also sometimes warn of a toxic community.
Second Extinction

Second Extinction: 16 Minutes of Pure Gameplay aus dem Koop-Shooter
Genre: Shopping Shooter | Release year: 2020 (Early Access) | Developer: Systemic Reaction
To the free game
Swords are too primitive for you and you prefer weapons with more power? You get them in Second Extinction, and you will need them. Because here you don’t mess with funny knights, but in co-op with bloodthirsty primeval beasts. You choose between a handful of heroes and weapons, grab one or two fellow players and start the hunt.
From the raptor to the T-Rex, a lot of dinosaurs will run in front of the large-calibre shotgun and be dismantled into (dino) chicken nuggets. We already praised the fun fights in the first Early Access test, but apart from that there is not much to discover. You can’t experience a story, for example.
Suitable for whom? According to the developers, Second Extinction is designed for co-op and is quite difficult for single players. So you should bring dinosaur-loving friends with you. The game has also been stuck in Early Access for a long time and has not received a major update since the beginning of last year. If and when there will be a final release is questionable.
Do you like one of the two titles? Can you recommend or advise against Mordhau or Second Extinction? Feel free to write it in the comments!
