The Epic Games Store is closing out May with a triple free game drop that runs until May 29 at 5:00 PM. If you haven’t already claimed them, this is the final stretch to grab Sifu(free again), Gigapocalypse, and Deliver At All Costs without spending a cent. These games span wildly different genres—action brawler, pixelated kaiju chaos, and delivery sim—which keeps things interesting for anyone looking to expand their library with something unexpected.
Sifu – Stylish Kung Fu Action With Brutal Precision
Sifu is a third-person martial arts brawler from Sloclap, the same studio behind Absolver. With a Metacritic score hovering around 80 depending on platform, it’s been well received for its tight combat mechanics and clean visual design. You play as a young kung fu student out for revenge after the murder of your family. The twist is its aging mechanic: each time you die, your character gets older, stronger in damage output but weaker in health. You can only age so many times before it’s game over permanently.
The gameplay is heavily timing-based. You’ll spend most of your time parrying, dodging, and delivering precise strikes against multiple enemies. It rewards memorization of enemy patterns and strategic positioning. Sifu has a combo system that leans more toward rhythm and accuracy than button mashing. Environments play a big role too—items like bottles or pipes can be used as weapons, and positioning can be used to knock enemies into walls or off ledges.
Visually, the game uses a stylized realism with clean lighting and color grading that gives each stage a distinct mood—from smoky nightclubs to rain-soaked alleys. It runs smoothly on both keyboard/mouse and controller setups, though most players agree a controller gives better tactile feedback for the kind of movement precision required. The game originally launched at $39.99, so getting it for free is a serious deal if you’re into skill-based action games.
Sifu also includes multiple difficulty settings now (post-launch update), so if you bounced off it early for being too hard, it’s worth revisiting. There’s no multiplayer or co-op here—it’s purely a single-player experience focused on mastery.
Gigapocalypse – Side-Scrolling Monster Mayhem
Gigapocalypse is a 2D side-scrolling destruction game that feels like someone mashed up Rampage with rogue-lite mechanics. Developed by Goody Gameworks, it sits around the mid-70s on Metacritic and offers fast, chaotic gameplay with some light progression systems layered on top.
You control one of several kaiju-style monsters called “Gigas,” each with their own abilities and playstyle. The objective is simple: destroy everything in your path while avoiding enemy attacks from tanks, helicopters, and futuristic defenses. The game throws a lot of bullets at you in bullet hell fashion, so there’s more dodging and weaving than you might expect from something that looks like a straight-up beat-em-up.
Each run earns you mutation points that can be spent on permanent upgrades or cosmetic tweaks. Between missions, there’s even a Tamagotchi-style base management system where you take care of your monster to unlock passive bonuses—feeding it, cleaning its lair, stuff like that. It’s not deep, but it adds some offbeat charm to the chaos.
Pixel art visuals are loud and colorful, and the chiptune soundtrack keeps the energy high. Controls are tight enough to make the carnage feel responsive whether you’re using keyboard or controller. There’s no online multiplayer here either—it’s a solo affair focused on replayability through its unlocks and challenge runs. Normally priced around $9.99, Gigapocalypse fits well into the current trend of small but punchy indie titles offered free on the Epic Games Store.
Deliver At All Costs – Delivery Sim With Co-Op Chaos
Deliver At All Costs is a thrilling action indie sandbox game where destruction, absurdity and intrigue collide! Step into the shoes of Winston Green — a down-on-his-luck courier with a fiery temper and a mysterious past — as he delivers highly unconventional cargo, leaving a trail of havoc and chaos behind him
