This week, you can get a pixel-art sword-fighting game completely free on Epic.
Like every Thursday, you can grab (at least) one free game on the Epic Games Store. Currently, you can get Clone Drone in the Danger Zone, where you swing a laser sword as a robot gladiator. The special twist: You can sever your opponents’ limbs, which severely limits their ability to fight. Of course, this can happen to you, too.
