Epic’s Free Prizes: XCOM 2 and Insurmountable – Ready to Rumble?
Epic Games has just dropped a couple of gems into your library for free forever—but you gotta grab them by April 21, 2022 or you’ll miss them.
Why XCOM 2 Should Be on Your Dashboard
- Pure tactical brilliance. Since its 2016 debut, XCOM 2 has stood firm against all successors in the turn‑based arena.
- Risk it all. The game is intentionally punishing—battle after battle can make you want to throw your controller out the window. If you’re a fan of “rage‑quit” moments, you’ve found your new playground.
- Unbeatable story. Set 20 years after the original XCOM, humanity’s lost the war against aliens, leaving Earth under alien occupation. You take on the role of Commander, leading a rag‑tag resistance squad to dismantle the reign of the invaders.
- It’s still free. No insane “gotcha” price tag—once you add it to your account, it’s yours for the ages.
One note: the War of the Chosen expansion isn’t part of this free offering—though if you love XCOM, it’s a solid purchase. And stay hopeful for an Epic Workshop—they might bring mods one day.
And Then There’s Insurmountable
From ByteRocker, this roguelike gives you a procedurally generated mountain climb with permadeath. The bigger the mountain, the more bragging rights you’ll earn.
How to Get These Free Games Now
All you need to do is open your Epic Games Store and add XCOM 2 and Insurmountable to your library before the deadline. Easy as pie, and the gameplay? Well, it’s lets‑you‑feel‑some‑hours‑of‑rage‑quit-fun and a mountain‑climbing thrill, all at zero cost.
