Free Download: Cube World

Here comes the next exclusive free download on WMTF: Cube World! Cube World is an RPG set in a colourful procedurally generated world that features multiple biomes to get questing in, from lush green plains to arid sand swept deserts and chilling snow plains, there is plenty of variation to the land when you’re not sailing across vast oceans to another continent.

It MAY look like another minecraft clone: well it's not, and you'll notice it very early in the game. First of all you'll have to create a character, choosing between different races and classes. Once you're dropped into a map, whatever comes next is basically up to you, starting from figuring out what to do. Here's a tip: don't try and fight animals. They're too strong for you, indeed, Cube World at level one resembles hell. Combat is basic: left click goes with a primary attack, right click a special attack that you can upgrade closing combos with your left clicks building up an attackmeter. You also have the ability to unlock special moves that can be used for offense or defence, and they become particularly useful against tougher enemies and bosses.

Loots are random, and this may be disappointing, but if you spend your time looking for ore you can customize your character and your equipment by adding extra cubes which add more material to the weapons or elemental effects. Of course, crafting system has a huge question mark on it, but it's not that hard to figure out even without a guide. 

Exploring in Cube World is really a thing. There are many dungeons and mini challenge areas with enemies and bosses to fight peppered randomly across the world, and the challenges never end. Once you tried this in co-op with one or more friends, trust me, you'll have the greatest time. Also, it's on free download, so give it a shot.

Free Download: Rogue Legacy

Guys, here's another bomb in free download. Rogue Legacy. The review took me so much cause I got too busy grinding the shit out of this amazing 2D side-scrolling action - roguelike masterpiece.

In Rogue Legacy you're a fighter (you get to choose between lots of classes while you spend some gold in upgrades), or better, a family, and entire genealogic tree of fighters, running through a series of random generated castle rooms, killing skeletons, knights, zombies, flying skulls, floating casters, animated potratis and smashing furniture to collect gold to upgrade your family mason and abilities or recipes to craft new equipment.

Once you die, one of your children takes your place. This free download is addictive: everytime you finish a run, you get to spend all the money you collected, otherwise you know that you're going to give up your gold before enter again and start from scraps. But every run you're a little more powerful and you feel like "this time i can make it", with that 10hp you just upgraded or the new class you unlocked. You won't make it, but that feeling doesn't shut down: Rogue Legacy is so rewarding because you feel like you're making progress even in failure, yet it never ceases to be challenging. 

Every new hero has randomized traits that can either buff (fore example giving you mana every time you kill something) or nerf (for example by forcing you to play with your visuals upside down) the class you're playing, or, you can be gay. Or bald. Or both.

Rogue Legacy is simple yet deep, easy to pick up yet hard to master. Even when you defeat all the bosses the game will still give you a good run for you money, this literally. It's in free download here on wemadethemfree, so pick up a hero and start scavenging that castle!

Free Download: Organ Trail: Director's Cut

Hey, another zombie game, how original. Well, you'll be happy to know, this time's different. Organ Trail: Director's Cut, while it draws heavy inspiration from an old Apple game called Oregon Trail, is and educated and amazingly deep survival game which kicks in more than just shooting zombies. Today's free download is hardcore. You'll fear zombies. But, you'll fear diseases and lack of supplies much, much more.

In Organ Trail: Director's Cut, you're a zombie survivor (for now) on the road with four friends headed to the west because you know, the usual undead free city to reach blah blah. Remember the thing i said about supplies? Well there are nine categories of them, fuel, medkits, ammo, tires, batteries, mufflers, scrap, food and money. And since they all run out, you'll find yourself having to replenish your stacks, scavenging, for example, which brings you inside of a series of mini-games that adds up to the variety of the title. Or you can pick up a job to be rewarded after (or not, if you fail). 

Managing the trip of this free downloadable title isn't particularly difficult. You will occasionally have to repair the car, or rest, or get rid of bikers attacking your supplies, instead your friends are harder to control: they consume rations and have their own health and stats for you to look after: also, they can be bit by a zombie and turn into one and turn against you. You can shoot them down tho. 

Organ Trail: Director's Cut shows up more exciting that expected. Not that i expected a lot out of a 16-bit graphics title, but I found myself having a lot of fun discovering some deep aspects that are long gone in the gaming industry. On wemadethemfree, moreover, it comes for free, so you have no excuses for not grabbing a copy.

Free Download: Knights Of Pen And Paper +1

We went missing for a while, but here we are, back with another amazing free download! Knights Of Pen And Paper +1, the pc version of the best selling Knights Of Pen And Paper for Apple and Android mobile devices. And let me be sincere, this game is the definition of awesome.

You're going to be simulating an adventurous rpg session: you start with the Dungeon Master sitting at his table waiting for the other players. Instead of choosing a race and a class, you will have to pick a person and his class: you're not going to have a half-elf warlock, but most probably a pizza man barbarian, or a metal guy shaman. Each person has a passive attribute that works no matter what class you choose and makes them more, or less, fir for certain purposes. After you settled your party, you're ready to start the journey and be the knights of pen and paper, slashing monsters and casting spells while looting fancy new pieces of equipment and recruiting new sidekicks. Did i mention that you can play up to more than 12 classes but only 6 are available from the start?

What makes this free download really stand out is the fact that it's soaked into a pool of pop culture references. You'll be facing the pirates of the carribbeans, turtles dressed as ninjas, resting in the "defaul town" and travelling among the meta-rpg elements that made me constantly think "these guys are genius". For the rest, this game kicks on nostalgia pretty hard: it’s all about pixels and midi music, but it manages to look great thanks to the amount of details and the cell-shading sketches.

The only aspect i feel i could complain about is the fact that with this potential, things could have gone much further. The gameplay is entertaining and all but it lacks of hardcore sides or strategical depht, and the interaction with the players stereotypes is limited to a couple of lines as you pick them or as you level up. This is an A class game that had the potential to be a triple A.

To sum up, Knights Of Pen And Paper +1 is an RPG in which the characters are playing an RPG, it comes for free on our free download project, you can let your grandma be the tank. Anything else?

Free Download: Paranautical Activity

The game we put in free download for you today is called Paranautical Activity. A strange name indeed, that brings up a pixelated roguelike first person shooter game that nobody is already familiar with! The game itself is a hybrid of Doom, featuring a fast paced shooting action, Minecraft, with a pixelated art and random generated environments, and Binding of Isaac with its items collection and floors generation. 

On the other hand Paranautical Activity still has its own personality, pumped up by the singular art style which, as simple as it is, can still stand out among the competitors: pixelated textures and blocky models are mixed togheter with a semi-dynamic lighting system in plenty of overall dark scenarios, where enemies, projectiles, barrels, explosions are eye candies along your wanderings.

This free download might be a bit short on content in terms of enemies and weapons, or better, a little repetitive, but that doesn't stop it from still being loads of fun and having amazing replayability: in fact, being a random generated roguelike, sometimes you'll barely survive room-to-room, with no money, no armor, no health and a crappy weapon, but other times you blast all the way through to the end with full life, loads of armor, an awesome weapon, and over 3K$ in cash just to die at the very next boss battle. 

One of the strong points with Paranutical Activity also is its low price on Desura or Steam but guess what? We'll let you have it for free! Scroll down, the free download is right below. Have fun :)

Free Download: The Swapper

Are you the real you? The free download we offer you today is a peculiar platform puzzle game that kicks in some interesting existential questions.

Puzzles are based around a simple mechanism: you're an astronaut who's given a gun that allows himself to make up to four clones of herself. When you move, clones move along. When you jump, they jump. Is it all here? Of course not, as the game's name suggests, The Swapper, after a certain moment in the game you'll be able to transfer your consciousness into it, with all the questions that this implies. 

The free download will allow your to face increasingly difficult puzzles, from the simple task to place your clones on certain pressure plates in order to open a door, through placing items and blocks entering fields that give you more abilities, to reverse gravity puzzles. And, you know, the swapper thing. Most puzzles are brilliantly designed so that the clever trick you have to learn in order to solve one will become part of the needed skill set for later puzzles. 

The Swapper's beautiful visuals, haunting music, and sparse sound design allow it to maintain a wonderfully dark, gothic atmosphere throughout that enhances the introspective questioning this games brings in. Overall, it's totally worth a try, even more since it's on free download.

Free Download: Skyward Collapse

Balance in all things. Skyward Collapse, today's free download, might just look like another standard god game, but it's depth goes far from what you'd expect. You are cast in the role of a powerful deity charged with shepherding human civilization along the path of growth and prosperity, and this is quite obvious. Your abilities feature building multiple structures, mainly for resource gathering in order to hop in the military path, but here's the twist: in Skyward Collapse you will be heading two factions (Greeks and Norses) for the sake of keeping them alive and prosperous for a certain number of turns.

Easiest shit right? Unluckily, in this free download, you're unable to directly control the actions of either side, instead you're asked to manipulate them indirectly: military unit production, as well as stategic priorities, remain beyond player control. You can instead summon mythical units (which you cannot control either) to even out the outcome of unbalanced conflicts, place special buff giving land tiles or upgrade certain units. And you're gonna need that, also because, after a certain amount of time, npcs (bandits) will start spawning, as well as some unforseen random events, called woes, causing a constant threat and can completely change the shape and scope of a game.

Today's free download, brings a fresh approach to the genre, giving the humans free-will and then forcing them kill each other because.. They don't know. Catastrophies and bandits will screw things up even further, and when you lose, the game just doesn't tell you why. Maybe that's the punishment for having us let you download it for free. Well fuck you too, Skyward Collapse.
