Free game to claim on steam until August 23rd

Kursah · Aug 23, 2017

So I have been getting into games like SPAZ, Battlefleet Engineer, StarSector as a break from other RTS, RTT and 4X games.

One I stumbled upon from a recommendation on the RTS Reddit is called Cosmoteer. Now this is not an RTS, but it has strategy to it, action, combat, And for a free game, I am super impressed. If you like the kind of game where you design and maintain your ships, conquer a galaxy, have interesting physics and combat...this might be for you. My kids and I have been enjoying the hell out of this game and Battlefleet Engineer ($5 on Steam so I won't link it here...but I will link the free demo).

Here's a quick video showing off some of what Cosmoteer is and has to offer:

Edit: Fixed Cosmoteer link above, which should take you to https://cosmoteer.net/

Kursah · Aug 25, 2017

To follow up my previous post, my boys and I have been having a blast with Cosmoteer recently. It is just damn fun, I'd even have paid a few bucks for the experience it offers and still been content with it! Watching my boys flex their creativity on their own design paths is also fun to watch and be a part of.

Anyways, I found itch.io has a Top Free Games in Development filter link. Cosmoteer is number 2, Battlefleet Engineer Demo isn't far behind. I recommend checking out both. There's also some other games on there that look interesting.

Check it out: https://itch.io/games/free/in-development/tag-real-time

An official torrent link is in the article from the developers.

100% legit

rtwjunkie · Aug 26, 2017

That's quite the interesting story. I like the part about if you like it, please then go buy from Steam, GOG or Humble.

Ahhzz · Sep 7, 2017

A couple of free games. For those of you that are mentally challenged, here's Steam World Dig on *shudder* Origin. For those slightly less worse off in the missing brain department, Steam-ing pile has Mirage: Arcane War free until about 10 AM EST today.
