Sundered: Eldritch Edition Free Now On Epic Games Store

Published:

Unfortunately, if you’re just finding out about Epic Games’ amazing selection of limited-time free titles… I’m sorry. You missed out on grabbing Darksiders AND Darksiders II for free last week. Still, that doesn’t mean you have to be sad for long! Sundered can easily fill that “free for a limited time on the Epic Games Store”-shaped hole in your life. 

What’s Sundered: Eldritch Edition?

Sundered is Thunder Lotus Games’ Lovecraftian-inspired foray into the world of Metroidvania madness. 

Much like any title in the genre, Sundered features a variation of permadeath, procedurally generated leveling, and hack-and-slash action. The game also features a permanent upgrade tree, another popular feature of Metroidvania titles. The best place to look for more information on Metroidvania titles is the Wikipedia entry, here.

Plot-wise, Sundered is fairly light on the exposition like a lot of other games in the genre. Instead, it gives the player the chance to explore the world and hopefully discover the story for themselves.  

The Eldritch Edition of Sundered comes with the base game plus a host of additional content. The Magnate of the Gong additional content gives players new levels and bosses, with levels that operate more as extended puzzles according to Marketing and Communications Specialist Rodrigue Duperron. You can check out a detailed breakdown of this content pack here.
