The final free game on Epic Games Store for the year 2024 is here, and as revealed by Billbil-kun and Megumin just an hour before the reveal, it’s indeed Sifu, a top-rated third-person action-fighting title.

Epic Games Store has revealed its very last free game for 2024. As MeguminShiro and Billbil-kun have revealed just an hour before the official reveal, the storefront is giving away Sifu on New Year's Eve. This is an action-fighting title with a "Very Positive" rating that's accumulated with over 13 thousand player reviews on Steam.

Sifu generally goes for $39.99 when there's no sale in place, but you can get it for $0 on Epic Games Store from now until January 1 UTC 16:00. After that, a new free game will replace it, and that would be the second-last giveaway for this holiday season.

Getting back to the current free game, developed by Sloclap, it's basically a third-person action beat' em up title that's heavily inspired by traditional Kung Fu and martial arts films. Sifu has a deep and quite intricate combat system, which comprises more than 150 different attacks.

You can chain basic moves into a combo, do different takedowns, and fight by incorporating the surroundings. The game's progression system has both permanent and temporary skills, and there's a skill tree that lets you unlock new skills by using experience points. You can earn these points by defeating enemies.

As for the art style, this currently free game on Epic Games Store combines gritty realism with somewhat colorful visuals. While this combo makes it look great, it has relatively less demanding system requirements. So, it should run fairly well in most systems, including gaming handhelds (Legion Go curr. $549 on Amazon).

Other than that, the game's storyline is great, and given that you can play each level with a different playstyle, it's replayable. Check out the video attached below to learn more about this current free game on Epic Games Store.
