Epic Games Store Free Game Soulstice Explained
Soulsticethrows players into the Holy Kingdom of Keldas, which is currently being ravaged by monstrous creatures known as Wraiths. Two sisters, Briar and Lute, are merged into a beingknown inSoulsticeas a Chimera, giving Briar supernatural powers as Lute remains bound to her soul in exchange. The two sisters function as dual playable characters, so to beatSoulstice’smany challenges, fans have to manage them both simultaneously.
WhileDark Soulsis an obvious inspiration for the kingdom of Keldas, the game is closer toDevil May Crythan FromSoftware’s famous franchise. This means that while there may be some Soulslike elements inSoulstice, the overall experience is a hack-and-slash adventure that promises unique combat and lasts roughly 20 hours. WhileSoulsticehas been out for just over a year, the game hadn’t reached theEpic Games Storeuntil now, and its addition is being celebrated with the free game promotion.
Epic Games Store Free Game Model Builder Explained
As impressive asSoulsticebeing temporarily added to Epic Games' free line-up is, the game’s rating makes it clear that the RPG isn’t for the faint of heart, or for those wishing for something more relaxing. This appears to be whereModel Buildercomes in, which is most certainly a title that players can get comfortable with by comparison. The game is exactly what it says on the tin: an immersive simulation game where fans can build model kits for things likeMobile Suit Gundamrobots, tanks, and guns at their own pace.
WithMobile Builderbeing made available for no extra cost for a week, players get hours upon hours to learn how these model kits are made in a calming environment. As expected of a title like Model Builder, customization is not only encouraged, but a great way to make the models unique; they can be sold for money to earn even more impressive tools and materialsthroughout the immersive simulationand its campaign mode.
In the end, it can be safely said that the two games offered for the week of September 28 couldn’t be any more different. One offers a dark and gripping tale of two sisters with a world and high-stakes combat to match, whereas the other invites players to kick back, relax, and build the model kits of their dreams at their own pace. In the end, that may be exactly the point withpairingSoulsticeandModel Buildertogether, as the two of them offer such a wide variety that there will be plenty of gamers satisfied with what theEpic Games Storeoffers that week.
