Fresh off of the triple whammy served in last week’s free games, the Epic Games Store has announced its next free title. It’s Thunder Lotus Games’ Sundered: Eldritch Edition, and it goes live on January 9th. If you haven’t claimed Darksiders: Warmastered Edition, Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition and Steep yet, now is the time to do so.
Sundered is a Metroidvania title with randomized areas and a gorgeous animated art-style. Players control Eshe, who is trapped in a strange labyrinth filled with nightmarish monsters. Even as she harnesses different Eldritch artifacts to become stronger, there’s a sinister presence that’s seemingly taking over her soul.
Those picking up the Eldritch Edition will also avail of free local co-op multiplayer, new areas, and a new boss fight. Sundered might not quite compare to the likes of Hollow Knight or Axiom Verge in terms of overall quality, but it’s still a compelling, action-packed adventure with incredible scale that’s worth checking out when it goes free this Friday.
