As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt and a soft spot for freebies, I must say the Epic Games Store’s holiday giveaway this year has me absolutely thrilled! The third free Mystery Game for December 2024 is none other than Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles, a deck-building roguelike title that’s been on my wishlist since its release in 2023. I remember playing Mega Crit’s Slay the Spire back in the day and being hooked, so Astrea seems like it could be another fantastic addition to my collection.

For the third free game offering in December 2024 from the Epic Games Store, they’ve unveiled “Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles”. This follows the distribution of “Vampire Survivors” on December 19th. Players have the opportunity to acquire the indie roguelike game “Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles” at no cost, until December 21st at 11 AM EST.

Every year in December, users with an Epic Games Store account can anticipate receiving multiple free games to add to their collection. This tradition is cherished by the gaming community, as fans eagerly guess which titles they might receive during the holiday season. To start off the 2024 celebration, The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria was given away for free from December 12 through December 19 on the Epic Games Store. Gamers can expect a new free game every day until January 2, when the final title will be revealed and available for a whole week to wrap up the event.

Supporters have the chance to grab the game “Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles” until December 21 at 11 AM EST. Originally launched for PC in 2023, this challenging deck-building game was later made available on all major consoles in 2024 and has received acclaim from both players and critics due to its roguelike mechanics and distinctive art style. Many have compared it to Mega Crit’s “Slay the Spire,” as players navigate a sequence of random, branching paths while battling enemies and acquiring distinct dice types that impact each encounter. As of now, “Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles” has an average score of 87 on OpenCritic, with all critics recommending the game.

In December 2024, the third free game will be up for grabs, following “Vampire Survivors”. Initially offered from December 19 at 11 AM for a full day, this game was developed by the solo creator, poncle, and released in 2022. It’s a distinctive roguelike title where players engage in endless battles against waves of enemies while enhancing their abilities and attack strength over time. Post-release, it has undergone several significant free and paid updates, most recently receiving its “Ode to Castlevania” DLC. This addition was fitting because “Castlevania”, a major inspiration for “Vampire Survivors”, was also created by poncle.

Based on information from billbil-kun’s leak, which was published in early December, it is expected that the Epic Games Store 2024 Mystery Game giveaway will offer a total of 16 games. The specific titles to be included are still unknown, but fans are eagerly speculating based on hints from last year’s December giveaway. Notable games given away for free in 2023 were the Destiny 2: Legacy Collection, the Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and the The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition.
