As of July 2 anyone with a PC, a Steam account, and a song in their heart can grab the following six games: Doomsday: Last Survivors, Dust And Aliens, Monster's Domain, Spiritle, Soccer Kids, and Swelter. Never heard of a single of those? Me either! So let's break 'em down.
First up is Doomsday: Last Survivors, a tower defence game with lots of zombies to blast away. Original? Not really. But who needs original all the time?
Dust And Aliens is an FPS roguelite et in a futuristic western universe. The game’s goal is to advance through various arenas and nab the highest possible score.
Next up is Monster's Domain, which either does or doesn't have an apostrophe based on whether you believe the Steam title or the game's logo. Is it one monster in the domain? Is it multiple? We just don't know. Anyway, this is a hack-and-slashy RPG with plenty of loot to grab.
Spiritle is a gorgeous looking "turn-based strategic battle digital board game" that I actually really like the look of. Then there's Soccer Kids, which is less my cup of tea on paper but still looks like a really cool effort.
Finally, Swelter is a story-driven mod for Half-Life 2, set years before the events of the critically acclaimed sequel. Given how well-loved Black Mesa is, this one has a lot to live up to. But with over 790 positive reviews, I'd say it's definitely worth a look.
So there you have it. You wanted to read about some free games. I have provided you with those free games. You, in turn, have provided me with a click. I'd say our transaction is complete, yeah? Yeah.
Divided Skies is a “single-player flight adventure game where you play as Kyra, a member of the Nandaka gang, as she completes dangerous missions transporting illegal tech and mechanical enhancements while fighting off rival gangs. Shoot enemies, chase down foes, and explore hidden areas as you uncover the secrets of the metropolis called New Mumbai taking place in the year 2100.”
In Raw Nerve, you “drive this truckin’ weird and wild world of jumps, traverses and winding ascents. Uncover artefacts, help build the sonic landscape, conquer the summit, and try to clock the fastest time.”
In S.P.L.I.C.E.D, players will “take on the role of a strong-willed woman determined to challenge the tyranny of the mob leader Jiaolong and free Chinatown from their oppressor in this 3D side scroller action adventure, Metroidvania. Discover forgotten secrets and powerful weapons that will help you traverse the treacherous streets, as you set off on a dangerous mission to fight the mutants, monsters, and other enemies hiding within.”
If you dare to play Snotty’s Sewer you will “meet Mr Snotty! Originally a beloved children's TV character, Mr Snotty turned violent after being chased out of the local TV station along with all of his friends into an abandoned sewer. Unfortunately for you, you are now trapped there too! Search for the 10 hidden buttons throughout the sewer that unlock the door to escape the nightmare.”
If having A Bad Day for a Hangover wasn't bad enough, your “town has been taken over by robots, the government evacuated the population before dropping a nuclear bomb to wipe out the robots. Great plan but those robots survived so they are nuking the town again.”
Finally, Galactic Grinder “is a fast-paced 2.5D side-scrolling skateboarding game, where the player skates through different planets while performing tricks to gain points to attain the best possible score.”
In related news, Steam also gave away another six games just a few days ago. Happy Days.
