The Epic Games Store is offering two great free PC games this week for Epic users. For a limited time, you can grab a much-loved mech auto-battler and a unique deck-building roguelike at no charge.

Mechabellum

Want giant robots to battle but don't quite want to do the fighting yourself? In comes Mechabellum, a mech auto-battler. Gather an army, customize your troops, and deploy your units for battle. As Mechabellum is an auto-battler, your role is to observe, strategize, and place units for the best counterattacks. You can battle online in 1v1 and 2v2 battles, a solo or co-op survival mode, or in a chaotic free-for-all match. Mechabellum's strategists are loving it as it has nearly 10,000 Very Positive player reviews on Steam.

Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles

Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles is a deck-builder, but instead of cards, your abilities take the form of dice. It has a unique damage system where you can damage enemies, heal yourself, or even wound yourself to enable the use of your most powerful abilities. The dice you use come in different types: reliably safe, perfectly balanced, or powerfully risky, meaning every roguelike run will feel different, especially as there are over 350 acquirable dice. Astrea has just over 1,000 Very Positive player reviews on Steam.

If Mechabellum and Astrea catch your eye, all you need to do is log in to the Epic Games Store and claim them. The games will be free until Thursday, Oct. 1 at 11 a.m. EDT.
