The Epic Games Store has updated its storefront selections, delivering a mix of steep price cuts and free tactical titles to digital collectors. From now until June 11, 2026, at 11:00 AM ET, players can secure specialized strategy experiences to expand their libraries without cost. This week focuses heavily on mechanical complexity and strategic planning, giving fans of classic grid-based gaming a clear reason to log in and review the latest catalog updates.
Tactical Faction Clashes in Songs of Conquest
The primary strategy focus on the storefront is Songs of Conquest, a turn-based 4X experience from Lavapotion and Coffee Stain Publishing. The core gameplay loop heavily replicates the distinct faction recruitment, resource gathering, and hex-based army combat popularized by the Heroes of Might and Magic series. Players command magical leaders to construct fortifications and engage in tactical skirmishes. The title holds a 78 Metascore on Metacritic, though some critics score it lower due to a punishing difficulty curve and slow campaign pacing. Rather than holding its standard retail price on Steam, the game is currently slashed by 50% down to $14.99 in a promotion running until June 18, 2026. For players who miss this store window, the G2A Marketplace lists digital keys for approximately $14.50.
Repetitive High-Seas Boarding in Rogue Waters
Available for zero dollars as a free claim this week is Rogue Waters, a turn-based tactical roguelite from Ice Code Games and Tripwire Presents. This title offers the maritime aesthetic and pirate theme of Sea of Thieves but replaces real-time sailing with structural, node-based positioning grids. The loop focuses on upgrading a crew, customizing a warship, and utilizing a physics-based shoving system to push enemies into hazards during boarding actions. While early critics’ reviews gave it an 83 on Metacritic, user sentiment has trended lower due to repetitive naval loops and lingering bugs in the progression menus. It represents a $29.99 value on the Steam Store, and as a global key on the G2A Marketplace, you can get it for just $1.35.
Fairytale Crafting and Fetch Quests with Wytchwood on Mobile
The handheld division of the platform features the crafting game Wytchwood for free via the dedicated mobile launcher. Available for Android users globally and iOS setups within the European Union until June 11, 2026, the gameplay casts you as an old crone who explores a storybook landscape to gather reagents and hex wicked fairytale figures. The title holds a 78 Metacritic score and a 93% positive rating among desktop players, though critics point out the loop is an extensive series of back-to-back fetch quests requiring constant tracking across multiple zones. Securing the game directly via the mobile store completely bypasses the standard $4.99 premium mobile cost.
