Epic Games Store has not one, but two new free games for EGS users to download for free. This week, the two games combine for a value of $45, so there is opportunity for substantial savings. And unlike some weeks, both games are fairly notable, though neither is AAA nor of the upmost consequence. That said, and as always, once claimed, the games are yours to keep, no strings attached. There is subscription required nor is this anything akin to a rental, or a demo, or a free trial. It is a proper free download forever attached to your Epic Games Store account. 

As for the games this week, they are Orcs Must Die! 3 and Cat Quest II. The former is a 2020 game that retails for $30 from Robot Entertainment. While its name suggests it is the third game in the series, it is actually the fourth game in the Orcs Must Die series.  The other game hails from 2019 as a sequel to 2017's Cat Quest. It was developed by Gentlebros and published by PQube, both of which are currently working on bringing a third game in the series, Cat Quest III, to the market. 

Below, you can read more about each game and check out a trailer for each game:

Orcs Must Die! 3: 

About: "Orcs Must Die! 3 ushers orc-slaying mayhem to a previously unimaginable scale. Solo, or 2 player co-op, arm yourself with a massive arsenal of traps and weapons. Slice, burn, toss and zap hordes of repugnant orcs in this long-awaited successor to the award-winning series. New to the series, War Scenarios pit players against the largest orc armies ever assembled. Mountable War Machines give players the essential firepower to heave, stab, carbonize, and disarticulate the abominable intruders."
