Killing Floor 2 & Ancient Enemy Are Free On Epic

Monday, Bandai Namco did a showcase that very few people knew about, and yet another Pokémon clone was announced. Tuesday, Euro Truck Sim 2 had its latest update put into Beta. Wednesday, it was announced you can go probing with your friends when DAH 2 releases, and now you can power wash on Game Pass. Thursday, the rest of the Game Pass games for the beginning of July were unveiled, and the magic RPG Forspoken got another delay, this time out of the year.

Now I guess it is time to once again roll out the comments about John Gibson and why listening to him and his ultra “Christian-Rock” (an idiom I’d abolish) is a stupid idea. Once again you can pick up Killing Floor 2 on the Epic Games Store, a game that looked at Left 4 Dead and said that was too fun. Let’s make it more generic by making it zombie clowns and everything else we can cram into universes with no thematic cohesion. Like everything else published for the last few years, you use a gun and you shoot everything that moves, and chances are you already have it as I do when Tripwire sent a code over years ago.

Moving on to the other thing that is becoming unsettlingly familiar within the games industry, card games. Ancient Enemy is an RPG card battler with art that keeps the mystique of its solitaire-based foundations from crumbling, but the truth is, from first sight I can’t get enthusiastic about it. Maybe it is the vague name, the general light fantasy setting, or perhaps the foundations themselves, but I have hundreds of others with their card-based foundations to rummage through before I get to this one. Conceivably you missed this one out or want to give it a try. However, I think many of those who pick it up will drop it soon enough again.

All this week, you can pick up Killing Floor 2 and Ancient Enemy on the Epic Games Store, until the morning of the 14th. Moving on to next week, I’ve got nothing to say about Idle Champions and the free offerings of Baeloth and other champions. Quite frankly, I don’t know what a Baeloth is, and I don’t care to find out. Luckily that’s not all that is available, but I can’t say I’m jumping for joy about Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap either.
