The (Legal) Free Games Thread

Valve Software’s Team Fortress 2 is now free to play also. There are microtransactions for items but most of them are cosmetic while most can also be obtained by in-game mechanics. There are exceptions but not enough to make you feel hindered if you don’t buy anything. I never did.

Uwabami Breakers, a free danmaku (bullet hell shooter, a la Ikaruga) game made in part by the creator of the Touhou Project, is still available for download. Three levels long, but beating the first level by itself will take you quite some time.

The download links are the purple moonrunes near the bottom of the page, above the sponsors.

You’re best off googling for instructions on how the games unique life system works.

Escape from Puppy Death Factory is a cool little flash game by the creator of the Merry Gear Solid games I mentioned in another page. It’s a puzzle platform game. Possibly action too later on, I’m not quite sure if it actually adds enemies and such into the mix in later parts.

Arvoesine is a cute, tough 8bit action platformer.

It’s sold for a few bucks, and now after bombing it’s also free.

Thanks Solo. Now I don’t have to buy the Orange Box to play this game everyone raved about. And they thankfully have a Mac Version.

Stealth Bastard is free and awesome.

From the developers of Explodemon and Fluidity it’s pimped as Super Meat Boy meets Metal Gear Solid, and this is their love child. Level editor/sharing included.

Treasure Adventure Game is out.

Deity is a free isometric mouse controlled stealth action game by Digipen students.

Epic Inventor is a free 2D Minecraft-like with the focus on creating contraptions.

yo alexander, thanks for the linksharing :] what do you mean with "after bombing it is also free " ?

It didn’t sell well originally. Or at least that’s what the indiegames.com blog mentioned.

Xenowar is a little X-COM like for Windows and Android developed as open source and so far with frequent updates. A simple visual style and plenty core features are already in.

Black Sect Remake made with AGS is out now, for free. It’s more like a remaster for modern OS I guess, no graphics overhaul etc from what I read. I don’t know of the original so I don’t have much to say, the setting and art seem pretty interesting though.

[quote]The people of Issegeac believe that their good fortune depends on the spellbook that has been in their village for over nine centuries. When the keeper of the text, your grandfather, is killed and the Grimoire stolen, the villagers ask your help. Now it is your task to find the Black Sect’s hideout and return the spellbook to Issegeac.

Lankhor’s Black Sect is a great game. It has however a few features that where normal in 1993 but aren’t so popular today. The game is timed, has dead ends, only 5 save slots, 20+ action icons, no smart cursor and you can die.

To make the game accessible to more players this remake features among other things:

  • Timeflow based on player actions, so no dead ends
  • Unlimited save slots (Well, I don’t know that. More than 30 anyway)
  • 2 action cursors
  • Smart cursor that lights up over interactive areas
  • Extra puzzles
  • Changed puzzles to suit the new interface
  • Updated hint system
  • New sound and music

And kept from the original game:

  • first person exploration
  • Lankhor’s art and animations (mostly)
  • 31 locations to explore
  • day and night cycle[/quote]

Very cool freebie piratey RPG, charming and with lots of little sub systems here and there making it feel like a commercial product of the late NES or early SNES era. Like mini games to make items used in battle more effective, simple shmup sections when traveling from island to island by ship, using items with drag and drop to interact with the world rather than just walking up to points of interest and pressing a button, etc. Yarr.
