• FREE GAME: Ancient Enemy

    From Spalls Hurgenson@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 26 13:30:03 2023
    More free! Free is good! Free doesn't require you to pay! FREE!!!!!

    This time, the freebie is on GOG. The game in question?


    * Ancient Enemy
    https://www.gog.com/en/game/ancient_enemy
    An indie 'strategic card game' with a fantasy bent. I know, quelle
    surprise, right? Why are these card games always set in fantasy
    realms? Where's the sci-fi card games? The horror games? The
    cute-talking animal card games? The genre is stuck in a rut. But at
    least you don't have to pay for it, and no DRM to boot.


    Will there be more free games? I dunno, but odds are high. Stay tuned.

    I have so many of these card games in my game libraries now. I am ok
    if they are all fantasy themed. It is my favorite theme and I never
    get sick of it.

    Anyway, thank you for the second time today Spalls.

    I am going to pass on it since I am not a big card fan. Thanks though.

    Touché.

    Sadly, not a "Star Frontiers" game. Why are there no "Star Frontiers"
    games? I want to play a Vrusk! Wizards of the Coast, stop wasting such
    a valuable IP and give me a "Star Frontiers" CRPG already!

    (waiting patiently for somebody to post a link to some forty-year old
    video game using the license)
