This week, Epic is giving you a pixel-style swordfighting game completely free of charge.
As every Thursday, you can get at least one free game in the Epic Games Store. Currently youll get Clone Drone in the Danger Zone, in which you wield a laser sword as a robo-gladiator. The special gimmick: You can cut off the body parts of enemies, which severely restricts them in battle. Of course, this can also happen to you.
Free at Epic: Clone Drone in the Danger Zone
Clone Drone in the Danger Zone is all about brutal battles in the arena between Robo-Gladiators. Due to the pixel look, however, it still falls under the FSK 12 category.
You control a mech in third-person view, which you can equip with weapons such asswords, spears and bows and arrows– all in the laser version, of course.

If you prefercooperative play, there is also a mode in which you have to survive together in the arena against waves of AI opponents.
As an exciting gameplay featureyou can cut off the arms and legs of your opponents, but this allows them to continue fighting or bouncing until they are completely dismembered. Particularly large and heavy opponents must also be trimmed down before they can be defeated.
During the course of the game, you can upgrade your mech withupgrades . These include a jetpack, the ability to kick enemies (for example in traps on the map), or a powerful fire breath that burns your enemies.
