Steam makes 'endless' 9/10 rated game completely free to download and keep

Heads up, Steam users - a genuinely brilliant rogue-like dungeon-defence game is free to download and keep right now, but only for a limited time.

PC gamers have got it good when it comes to getting their hands on free games. Steam is full of them, as is - thousands of titles are constantly available to download for the low, low price of nothing, and many of them are genuinely brilliant. We’ve certainly covered plenty of them here on GAMINGbible, you can take a look at some highlights here.

Take a look at the trailer for Temtem Showdown - the free-to-play Pokémon-like battle simulator which is available to download and keep from Steam right now.

Slightly less often, Steam also gives away games that are usually meant to cost money, and there’s no better deal than that. Right now, one such giveaway is happening for Dungeon of the ENDLESS - an indie gem which challenges players to defend the generator of a fallen ship while also navigating through an expansive (and, you guessed it, endless) dungeon full of monsters.

“A few hundred condemned criminals were being shipped to the Auriga system on board the prison hulk ‘Success’. While this was presented as a chance to earn back their place in society by working hard for the common good, they understood that in fact they would be slave labour, sent to colonise an unexplored planet,” the game’s official synopsis reads. “All they knew about Auriga Prime was what the probes told them: it had water, temperate zones, plant life, and plenty of metals in the crust.

“In fact, the planet Auriga once hosted a major settlement of the galaxy-travelling ancestors known as the Endless,” it continues. “In addition, the planet was still orbited by a functioning (and well cloaked) defensive system, which sprang eagerly to life upon the arrival of the Success. Within a few minutes, the ship was nothing but a few large chunks of metal falling toward the planet.”

With a 9/10 rating on Steam, and almost 12,000 reviews since its release in 2014, it sounds like a seriously good time - if you’re a fan of the rogue-like genre, you won’t want to miss it. Again though, it’s only free to claim for a limited time - you have until Thursday 27 July to add it to your library. Once you’ve done so, it’s yours to play at any time you want, so there’s really no reason not to grab it. Treat yourself!
