Gamers can once again get their hands on two games in the Epic Games Store this week - a survival roguelite and a popular action game that has 99 percent positive ratings on Steam.

Epic is giving away two games between September 19 and 26 at 3 pm (UTC). If you like taking photos, TOEM should be right up your street. Fans of challenging roguelite games will be delighted with The Last Stand: Aftermath.

TOEM

TOEM is a relaxing adventure game in which players explore a hand-drawn world as a photographer. The journey takes you through diverse landscapes - from forests to lively cities and snow-covered mountains. Without any time pressure, you can explore the surroundings, unlock new areas and collect stamps for your own travel diary. The camera is the central tool used to solve tasks such as finding lost objects, photographing animals or solving environmental puzzles.

Developed by Something We Made, TOEM was released in September 2017 in collaboration with popagenda. On Steam, the game seems to be extremely popular considering the very positive reviews - 99 percent positive opinions from around 4,800 reviews. On Metacritic, the ratings are slightly lower: a Metascore of 79 and a user score of 7.7.

The Last Stand: Aftermath

This survival roguelite takes players into a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. You take on the role of a survivor who has been infected by a deadly virus and embarks on his final journey. Along the way, players must collect resources, craft weapons and fight hordes of the undead. Caution is advised, however, as the sick character becomes weaker and weaker. The Last Stand: Aftermath relies on procedurally generated maps, so that every game round is unique. Players can collect equipment and unlock permanent improvements that benefit future survivors.

The Last Stand: Aftermath was developed by Con Artist Games and published by Armor Games Studios in 2021. While the Steam reviews are still good with 81 percent positive opinions from around 5,000 reviews, the Metacritic ratings are rather mixed. The game has a Metascore of 73 and a User Score of 6.6. Players' biggest criticisms include the repetitive gameplay and the almost non-existent story.

Prices are subject to change. The offer was available at the time of publication of the article, but may be limited in time or quantity.
