The Christmas bonanza of free PC games from the Epic Games Store continues with something to please fans of strategy games and, er … dictators. Yes, Tropico is today’s draw, specifically Tropico 5, the entry of 2014 in the long series. You have one day to add the game to your library before it is replaced by another freebie, so be quick.
You can pick up Tropico 5 on Epic’s regular promotion page, from now until December 24th at 8:00 am PST / 11:00 EST / 16:00 GMT. As always, you will ‘buy’ the game at a price of zero dollars, and it will be permanently added to your library from there. Claiming a gift during the holiday sale also entitles you to a $ 10 coupon to use during the holiday sale.
Tropico 5 was the first entry in the series to add a multiplayer option, but in addition it is the Tropico you know. You take control of a small island from the 19th century, set laws according to your whims, and lead your subjects to prosperity – or disaster, if that’s how it ends.
According to a list of Epic holiday giveaways that has been leaked so far and is circulating on the Internet, tomorrow’s giveaway will be the horror puzzle platform game, Inside. And, in fact, the wrapping paper for the next draw matches the game’s red and black color scheme.
In addition, there are free Steam games for you to enjoy.
