WWI multiplayer mayhem meets sci-fi tower defense

Two tried-and-true PC games have resurfaced this week with a free-to-keep deal on the Epic Games Store. From today through July 29, you’re able to redeemVerdun, a World War I FPS multiplayer game that could surely use a player-count boost, andDefense Grid: The Awakening, a pretty good invasion-halting tower defense title, for your library.

I’m not entirely sure what to make of playingVerdunin 2021 unless there’s a huge influx of players, andDefense Gridis in a lot of folks’ collections at this point.

If you’re still in a tower defense mood though, I’ve got a few evergreen recommendations:Defender’s Quest,Taur, and one of my all-time favs,Immortal Defense.

Next week’s Epic Store freebies are an interesting pair, too. From July 29 to August 5, you’ll be able to grabMosthergunship(make sure you read that namereal fast like) andTrain Sim World 2(the first hit is free before the avalanche of DLC). The former has some ridiculous gun-on-gun-on-gun crafting action, and it’sworth checking outfor FPS fans.
