Astral Ascent and Luftrausers are free to claim on the Epic Games Store through September 17. Mindcop and Shogun Showdown are listed to follow.
Free now: September 10–17
Astral Ascent is the larger time commitment: a fantasy action roguelite built around repeated runs, playable heroes, and build experimentation. It is the better claim for players who enjoy games such as Hades or Dead Cells, while still having its own structure and style.
Luftrausers is the compact counterpoint—a fast arcade dogfighting game designed around short sessions, aggressive scoring, and modular aircraft parts. It is old enough to run comfortably on modest hardware and small enough to try without planning a weekend around it.
Coming September 17–24
Epic currently lists Mindcop, an offbeat detective game built around interrogation and deduction, and Shogun Showdown, a turn-based combat game with deck-building and positioning.
