Epic Games Giveaway for January 8th to January 15th

by

If you enjoy the thrill of defending against waves of enemies, you’re in luck! The Epic Games Store is giving away a popular tower defense game as part of its 2026 giveaways, but the offer won’t last long, so grab it while you can.

This week, we’re giving away Bloons TD 6 – a fun and wacky game! You can add it to your library and keep it forever, but you need to claim it before 4 PM GMT on Thursday, January 15th.

The Peak of Tower Defense

I’ll admit, I probably have a soft spot for tower defense games because I spent so much time playing Biscuit Brigade back in the day on Neopets. But honestly, games like Bloons TD 6 just always feel good to play – they hit that nostalgic sweet spot!

Bloons TD 6 puts a unique twist on tower defense games by using monkeys to defend against waves of evil balloons. It’s a silly concept, but it fits perfectly with the game’s famously fast-paced and chaotic action.

Bloons TD 6 stands out from other tower defense games because of its varied levels. While some levels are traditional and stationary, others offer unique challenges, like tracks where towers move along a set path. This variety keeps the gameplay interesting and prevents players from settling on a single, optimal strategy.

Bloons TD 6 has very positive reviews on both the Epic Games Store and Steam. It currently has a 4.8 out of 5 star rating on the Epic Games Store, and 97% of Steam users recommend the game.

Okay, so I’m a big tower defense fan, and honestly, this game is AMAZING. The way it’s advertised looks a little silly, but seriously, don’t let that stop you! It’s one of those games you can play over and over again without getting bored.
