‘In Sound Mind’ Latest Free Game for the Epic Games Store
Despite being released just last year, We Create Stuff’s psychological horror game In Sound Mind is the latest free game available on the Epic Games Store. As is the usual for the Epic Games Store, In Sound Mind will be available to download for free and keep from now until March 24.
Released this past September for the PlayStation 5, PC via the EGS and Steam, and the Xbox Series, In Sound Mind places you as therapist Desmond Wales. You must explore your patients’ minds to uncover what links them all together, and find the truth of what’s happened to the town of Milton Haven before you become a victim of your own mind.
In Sound Mind is also coming to the Nintendo Switch later this year. And check out our review for the game.
The genre fun doesn’t stop after March 24, either. As WIZNWAR’s Demon’s Tilt will be the next free title for the Epic Games Store. Originally released in 2019 on Steam and the Nintendo Switch, Demon’s Tilt is heavily influenced by classic pinball games Alien Crush and Devil’s Crush on the the TurboGrafx-16.
Demon’s Tilt‘s story (if you can call it that) has you making your way across three screens on the board. Unique to Demon’s Tilt is the “hack ‘n slash” gameplay element, which allows you to use the ball to attack enemies and avoid obstacles.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
