Pre-Reg For Black Desert Mobile, Get Free Copy On PC/Console


Following a successful pre-registration campaign, Black Desert Mobile is set to launch globally on December 11. Currently soft launched in seven countries, Black Desert Mobile is hitting iOS and Android at the end of the year and bringing with it new gameplay features in nine languages.

To celebrate the campaign, all pre-registrations through the official website will come with an added bonus: Black Desert not-mobile. You’ll be able to redeem a coupon upon registering for the mobile game for a copy of the PC, Xbox, or PS4 version. You technically don’t even have to play the mobile game when it comes out. Supplies are apparently limited, so grab your copy before they run out.

Black Desert Mobile will launch with support for English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Thai, Indonesian, Chinese and Chinese Traditional languages. For more information, check out the link above.

Free Steamy Sundaes: October 20 Edition


Today’s Free Steamy Sundaes is brought to you by caffeine, toxic consumer advocacy, and viewers like you. I don’t know how to casually introduce a new column I had the idea for while shopping for a new coffee grinder, so I’m just going to refer to Free Steamy Sundaes like it’s been going on for weeks and you’re all very familiar with it. So naturally everyone knows that this column is a weekly list of free to play games and demos that released on Steam last week.

[Video] Wasting Time #1: Beetle Hunter


Today’s Wasting Time piece is in the form of a video long play (as long as you consider nine minutes to be). It is a first person shooter that is completely free and the project of what appears to be just one guy.

Check it out, the only thing you have to waste is your time.

Play Funcom’s Conan Threesome Free Over The Weekend


If you’ve ever wanted to play all three of Funcom’s Conan games and not have to pay anything for the privilege, you’re in luck. Starting September 19 and running through September 23, you can download Conan Exiles and Conan Unconquered. You can also play Age of Conan which was already free to play, but just pretend that it’s one of those play now keep forever deals that you can play whenever and also keep.

So if your taste is MMO, tower defense, or survival sandbox, you’re in for a treat this weekend.

Wasting Time: Darkula


Here at MMO Fallout I occasionally like to bring attention to games that you can check out completely free of charge, but also games that are not MMOs and therefore 1.) will not require you to take them up as a full time job and 2.) won’t bombard you with microtransactions. These games are totally free. Today’s title is Darkula.

If you don’t know Darkula, you are probably not familiar with its creator Locomalito. Locomalito is the creation of one dude, and in between commercial releases occasionally will put out a freeware game. Darkula is that game.

Looking like it’s straight out of the C64/ZX Spectrum era, Darkula has a very simple premise: You are Darkula, and your goal is to pick up the lightbulbs in each level.

“Darkula is a frantic fixed platform game designed like a 1983 coin-op arcade. It mimic the technical specs of the time in terms of image and sound, but it goes further with a smooth playability and a scoring system carefully designed for local tournaments. Collect all the light bulbs to complete a level. Collect shining light bulbs consecutively to raise the challenge and earn a growing bonus. Be fast, don’t miss the special object and be careful with the monsters around!”

Darkula plays like the fourth screen of Donkey Kong but with a bit more strategy, since you’ll want to grab the flashing orbs in order to greatly increase your score multiplier. This is meant to recreate the arcade feel, after all, your whole goal is to git gud and get that high score up! If you want to check out Darkula, it’ll set you back approximately 22.4mb in space unzipped.

I also recommend checking out the other games on the website, many of which are completely free or have a free version. Why not? The only thing you’ll be wasting is time.

PSA: Grab Too Human On Xbox (Free) Before It Goes Away


Too Human broke real ground after its launch in 2008, and not because of anything in the game play itself. Along with several other Silicon Knights products, it stands as one of the only titles in the industry to have a judge order all stock be recalled and destroyed. Way back in the year of 2007, developer Silicon Knights headed by President Denis Dyack filed a lawsuit against Epic Games over contract disputes, mostly alleging inadequate support and missing deadlines with the Unreal Engine. Sometime during the trial information came forward that Silicon Knights had filed the lawsuit while simultaneously stealing the Unreal Engine source code to build their own platform. Thousands and thousands of lines with typos and developer commentary were stolen, with Epic’s copyrights ripped out, and claimed as Silicon Knights creation.

Thanks to the company’s criminal behavior Silicon Knights lost their lawsuit, lost a countersuit by Epic, and was forced to pay millions in damages and recall all copies of the games developed using the Unreal Engine code and the company went bankrupt and shut down shortly after. Founder Denis Dyack has gone on to form new developers in the time since, however has had no luck in crowdfunding at least partially due to the controversy surrounding his name.

Coming as quite a surprise and after six years of the game being unavailable for purchase on digital stores, Microsoft re-released Too Human and has made the game backwards compatible and available for free on the Xbox Store. You’ll want to activate the game to your account sooner rather than later, as the game won’t be around long. For a week, you can pick up the game plus the pre-order armor pack, as well as two themes if you are still going to play this on your 360.

NM: Grab Enter the Gungeon Free on Epic Game Store

[NM] PSA: Minion Masters Voidborne Onslaught DLC Free


Minion Masters is a game you may not have heard of; it bills itself as a 1v1 or 2v2 hybrid of a deckbuilder, MOBA, and tower defense. It currently stands with a 95% “Overwhelmingly Positive” review score on Steam, and you can play it for free.

And if you are planning on playing Minion Masters in the future, I recommend checking out and activating the Voidborne Onslaught DLC which is currently free. The DLC normally runs $14.99, but if you activate it prior to March 15, you’ll get it for the low, low price of zero [insert your currency].

“Voidborne Onslaught is the Faction Box for starting your Voidborne Army – or adding some reinforcements to your existing Voidborne collection. This is a great +300% value bundle of Voidborne Minions, including the massive Legendary Colossus as well as 2 exclusive Voidborne cosmetics.”

Check out the game’s Steam page for more details. Voidborne Onslaught contains a number of resources for your army as well as exclusive cosmetics.

[Blizzcon 2018] Destiny 2 Free On PC Until November 18


Destiny 2 launched on October 24, 2017, and Activision is celebrating its one year anniversary by making the game free. Log in to Battle.net and grab yourself a free copy of the game before November 18 and the game is yours to keep forever*.

The copy includes the base game and nothing else, you’ll still need to drop some simoleons in order to pick up the expansions and DLC. On the plus side, the Forsaken expansion now includes the two expansions that came before it, so for $40 USD you can grab Forsaken, Curse of Osiris, and Warmind. Forsaken also includes a character boost to get you into the new content right away.

PSA: Shadow Warrior 2 Free On Good Old Games


First person shooter Shadow Warrior 2 is free on Good Old Games for a limited time, and if you don’t own the title (or own it on Good Old Games), it’s in your best interest to pick it up now. Developed by Flying Wild Hog and released in 2016, Shadow Warrior 2 still sells for $39.99, making this a hell of a deal.

As part of GOG’s tenth anniversary promotion, members of the community were asked to pick a game that would be offered for free and Shadow Warrior ultimately won out over Firewatch and Superhot. It holds a 4.4/5 star rating on Good Old Games.

The deal only lasts until roughly 10:15am EST on Saturday, October 6.
