If you’re a gamer, or you just visit The Cheapskate occasionally, you probably know that Epic Games gives away at least one free game each Thursday. And in welcome news, Epic is kicking 2021 off right by continuing the tradition. After all, you need a lot of games to keep you busy while you wait for a coronavirus vaccine. This week’s free game is none other than Crying Suns.
Crying Suns is a tactical rogue-lite game that puts you in the role of a space fleet commander as you explore a mysteriously fallen empire. The game offers an enormous amount of exploration in a procedurally generated universe that’s different every time you play. There are hundreds of scripted story events embedded in a dramatic story that spans six chapters.
If you’re new to Epic’s weekly giveaway, here’s how it works: If you don’t already have one, sign up for your free Epic account. Then just get your free game — yours to keep forever. You don’t even need to install it right away if you don’t want to.
