Clone Drone in the Danger Zone is free on Epic

Monday, fantasy RPG Foundling was announced, Marvel MaXimum Collection is a Limited Run arcade collection, and Demon Tides got a new update. Tuesday, we had plenty of reviews to get out, maybe go check them out too? Wednesday, Legacy of the Dark Knight has a comic tie-in, Cozy Builder is a cozy little builder with a vineyard setting and a demo, and Tombwater is out now. Thursday, minus Bowie balls, Artificer Games’ next release, a labyrinth building game, Minos looks interesting.

Moving on to the Epic Games Store, it is another triple bill because I can’t even have anything good. We’ll start off with the not-Soviet era thermonuclear fusion power reactor, TOMAK: Save the Earth Regeneration. Originally released when the world could be excited about Two Towers, TOMAK is one of those weird “care for this character who would otherwise be helpless” things like Umanmusume: Pretty Derby, which always verge on the parasocial to me. Goddess of love, Evian, comes to earth like a head from Futurama, and you must take care of her. See, already weird. A remake of a classic, but certainly a creepy “classic.”

Moving on to the mobile offering this week, we’ve got Dumb Ways to Die 2: The Game, a sequel to the thing I had a moan about weeks ago. The Dumb Ways to Die series started as an awareness campaign for the Metro Trains Melbourne, yes the same Melbourne in Australia. That isn’t where I’m a bit miffed; it is the fact that the IP was sold to PlaySide Studios and decided to release one of those NFTs. Remember her? Indeed, the only good things to come from the series were a lack of stupid deaths and that song. Even the WarioWare-like games aren’t that interesting.

Onto the third and final game, the one I was actually excited about, because I played this one back in early access back in 2017. Clone Drone in the Danger Zone is a fantastic arena battler where you play as a little voxel-based robot thing with a lightsaber and go into gladiatorial battles with other robots, massive spider-like monsters, and silly little challenges. Hopefully, that same, anarchic fun stays true nearly a decade later.

All this week, you can pick up Clone Drone in the Danger Zone and TOMAK: Save the Earth Regeneration on the Epic Games Store for PC. While Dumb Ways to Die 2: The Game is available for the Epic Games Store for mobile on Android Worldwide and iOS in the EU. Moving on to next week, there is a game releasing next week that has taken influence from Fortnite, sadly. Prop Sumo is going to either be popular for 5 minutes or it is going to be dead on arrival. I don’t see it doing anything else.
