Grab Aegis Defenders for free on Humble Bundle

It looks like Humble Bundle is back with the regular game giveaways.

Before the Epic Store era, the Humble Bundle was the king of free games, but they've lost that title, and not just because of the Epic Store but because they simply stopped giving free games at one point.

It seems the COVID-19 pandemic prompted their return, and in the last few weeks, we had two free games on Humble Bundle: Manual Samuel and Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation.

This Thursday they are back with another free game, Aegis Defenders, developed by GUTS Department.

Aegis Defenders is an interesting mix between Tower Defense and Metroidvania, with a focus on exploration, building and defending, and all set in a beautifully crafted 2D world.

"In a world where control over ancient technologies means power, a ruthless Empire has arisen," says the official description. "You play as a team of Ruinhunters searching for the one thing that can save their village - a legendary weapon known as Aegis."

The game will be free only for three days, so don't forget to claim your free copy and activate it on Steam before Sunday 17th May.

Key features 

EXPLORE

• Discover the world of Elam, a beautiful yet dangerous place lost to time. Brimming with dangerous beasts, forgotten ruins, and powerful relics, Elam is brought to life with a uniquely handpainted pixel art style.

BUILD

• Level up your items and weapons in the shop to take in bigger and badder enemies.
• Adjust your strategy on the fly with the "Fusion Build" system. Try fusing different combinations of items together to change your defensive setup.

FIGHT

• Fight off enemies from all sides - but you won't have to do it alone. With Dynamic Character Swapping you'll need to switch between multiple characters on the battlefield, position your characters carefully, and utilize their passive abilities effectively to survive.
• Various Tower Defense Scenarios - Defending one point can be hard enough but that's just the beginning. As the game progresses, you'll need to defend moving targets, targets that have dynamic abilities like activating doors/weapons, and even targets that don't want to be protected.

Play alone or with friends. (Picture: GUTS Department)
