GOG.com is now offering the turn-based tactical roguelike Oaken as a free giveaway for a limited time. Developed by Laki Studio and published by Goblinz Publishing, the game takes players into a mystical world set within the branches of the Great Oak. The game has elements of deck-building with hex-based combat.

Players control spirits on a journey to restore the lost Oak Song. The gameplay focuses on strategic positioning and rotation during battles, making each decision impactful. Its hand-painted visuals and enchanting, standout soundtrack have received a lot of praise for adding ambience to the gameplay.

According to reviews, Oaken is a solid pick for fans of roguelikes and tactical games. On Metacritic, the game holds favorable ratings (75/100), with critics lauding its unique mechanics and artistic presentation. Even on Steam, Oaken has received a 'very positive' rating. However, it might pose a challenge for newcomers to the genre due to its steep learning curve.

This GOG giveaway is an excellent opportunity to claim Oaken for free, usually priced at $25.99. The deal is time-limited, with only about 70 hours left (as of writing). To grab it, simply log in to your GOG account, visit the giveaway page, hit "Add to Library," and the game will be yours to keep forever.
