It's worth it for the modified IP wars
I'm not here to convince you that Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator is anything other than the name suggests, but if you think you got a few laughs sending thousands of crushed warriors into battle and watching the chaos unfold, the title Steam is free to claim up to Monday 1 February.
People went wild with the mods – Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Digimon, Knuckles the Echidna, take your pick – and I enjoyed browsing the community screenshot feed this morning.
Of course, games are not given away for free for no reason. In this case, the promotion is meant to bolster the announcement of Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator 2, which developer Brilliant Games Studios claims can handle “100 times more on-screen characters than its predecessor, and with a whole lot more. details and quality.
As the trailer shows, that means ridiculous battles with "hundreds of thousands" of warriors. The sequel brings back sandbox mode, a first-person invasion mode for zombie hunting, and there will be “multiple story and player-driven campaigns.” UEBS2 is slated for release in Fall 2022 on Steam.
This is all so stupid, but I'm not crazy. Let them fight. All. (If your PC can handle it.)
