Every week, the Epic Games Store gives away one or more games for free. Once you claim them during the giveaway period, they’re yours to keep forever in your Epic library. It’s one of the easiest ways to grow your collection without spending anything. Many of these games also work on cloud platforms, giving you more ways to play.
Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles and Mechabellum are free on the Epic Games Store until October 1, 2026, at 11 AM ET. Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles swaps cards for dice, with Purification and Corruption changing how damage works. Mechabellum puts you in charge of a mech army that you build and adjust between automated battles.
Below is a closer look at Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles and Mechabellum, along with where you can play each game in the cloud.
Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles Replaces Cards With Dice
Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles is a dice-deck-building roguelike developed by Little Leo Games and published by Akupara Games. You choose one of six Oracles, each with its own dice and abilities. You’re trying to stop the corruption threatening the Star System.
Instead of drawing cards, you roll dice to see which actions you get. Purification can damage enemies or heal your Oracle. Corruption can hurt your Oracle or heal an enemy. Taking Corruption can also trigger abilities, so deciding when to risk it becomes part of each fight.
There are more than 350 dice to build around, and you can alter individual faces with new actions. Changing a die face gives you more control over what can come up on the next roll.

Mechabellum Lets You Build And Adapt A Mech Army
In Mechabellum, you command a mech army against human or AI opponents. The turn-based autobattler comes from developer Game River and publisher Dreamhaven.
Before each fight, you choose units and arrange your formation. You can add new troops, upgrade units, or change the army to counter what your opponent is bringing. Once the round starts, your mechs fight automatically.
You can take your army into 1v1, 2v2, and four-person free-for-all matches. Survival Mode also lets you test your army against AI-controlled enemies.
