FREE GAME: Deadtime Defenders & Touch Type Tale

And... I'm back. Admit it, you missed me. Seven whole days without
somebody extolling the virtues (or lack thereof) of the Epic Game
Store freebies? It must have been torture for you. But don't worry;
I've got you. Let's go lock and see what freebie is waiting this week.


* Deadtime Defenders
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/deadtime-defenders-3e9fc8
    A side-scrolling shooter against various monsters;
    wander about, collect new weapons, level up... It's
    all rather uninspired. Visually, it looks like a game
    I used to play on my iPhone ten years ago. It probably
    doesn't help that it's an abandoned Early Access game.
    It's not terrible but I just don't see the point.


* Touch Type Tale
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/touch-type-tale
    It's "Typing For the Dead" crossed with real-time
    strategy. Type words to vanquish attacking enemies,
    collect resources or upgrade buildings. I guess if
    you're into this sort of 'typing-tutor-crossed-with-
    games', it's unique enough to be interesting, but if
    you can already type (or just find the whole concept
    dull) this isn't the game to convince you otherwise.
    Even without the typing bit, the mechanics are a bit
    wonky.


I've got bad news; that's all the free games for now. All that's left
is these last few remarks, and then I'm gone. But don't worry; I'll be
back in seven days. Just hold on for a week and we'll do this all
again.
