Warhammer 40,000: Gladius Is Free On Epic

Monday, Edward rounded up the Capcom Spotlight that ended with the Resident Evil 4 – Remake demo being released, and Samuel rounded up something to do with Guilty Gear Strive, which I know nothing about. Round-ups are kind of a theme this week. Tuesday, Samuel rounded up the news from DNF Duel Arc World Tour. Wednesday, the Switch release date for Pupperazzi was revealed. Thursday, we covered the news that the next game from Heart Machine, Hyper Light Breaker, will be heading to early access sometime this year, and Ghostwire Tokyo was announced for Xbox.

Moving on to the Epic Games Store and what is available for free this week, Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War. This is something with half a billion DLCs, enough gameplay to satisfy for a couple of hours, and what is generally considered reasonable 4X gameplay. The 2018 release from Proxy Studios isn’t going to be anyone’s go-to in the Warhammer 40K franchise, though it might be a decent snack of not-too-challenging gameplay between bigger releases. If I weren’t neck-deep in embargoed reviews, I might have enjoyed Gladius – Relics of War for a short time, but it isn’t time I’m drowning in to give to a 4X title.

All this week you can pick up Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War on the Epic Games Store until the morning of the 23rd of March. Next week, I’m going to commit hara kiri as we’re finally returning to the double bills with the second of those being a free-to-play game and its Ishizuchi starter pack. Yes, it is World of Warships. The actual game that this idiot will somehow need to talk about is Chess Ultra, a very pretty game that is just Chess. The first double bill in a long time is coming just as Epic will be holding its State of Unreal livestream.
