Knightica goes free on the Epic Games Store on Thursday 12 November and stays free until the 19th. It's a turn-based roguelike auto-battler that came out on Steam in August last year. Epic hasn't said at what time the offer ends on the 19th, so don't leave it for the last evening.
The same day, a paid expansion called Faraway Tales comes out on every platform, Epic included. Its price hasn't been announced.
Epic library or Steam library
That's the actual choice. The free copy only needs an Epic account: you claim it in the store that week, it stays in your Epic library and you play it from the Epic launcher. If you already use Epic and don't care where your games live, zero is hard to beat.
The Steam route costs money, though not much this week.
Under a euro and a half on Steam
The cheapest offer is a Steam Key at HRKGame: €1.04 with coupon Gocdkeys12 (€1.44 with fees). Steam itself sells the game for €14.99 (no fees). We've tracked the key for 430 days and never seen it this cheap. Its historical median is €2.99, and it started out at €9.61 (both without fees).
To redeem it, open Steam, go to Games > Activate a Product on Steam and paste the code. The game joins your Steam library like anything else you've bought there.
Where you'd buy Faraway Tales
DLC is normally bought in the same store where you own the base game. Claim Knightica on Epic and the expansion would be an Epic purchase too; own it on Steam and you'd buy it on Steam. So the store you pick now also decides where the expansion goes later. We'll know what it costs once it's published.
So, which one?
Wait for Thursday if you already have the Epic launcher installed and just want to try the game. It costs you nothing.
Pay the €1.44 if your other games are on Steam and you want this one next to them, visible to your Steam friends. Steam players rate it Mostly Positive: 844 of 1,141 reviews, about 74%. It's also the option if you don't want to wait two days.
On Xbox
There's an Xbox version as well. The Microsoft Store charges €14.99 (no fees), and the cheapest Xbox key is at Eneba for €12.60 with coupon Gocdkeys10 (€14.23 with fees). You'll also see accounts at Key4Games for €3.54 with GOCDKEYS16 (€3.93 with fees); that means logging into someone else's account, so the game is never yours. Everything is on the Knightica Xbox page.
For PC, every shop is on the page to buy Knightica key, and a price alert will email you if it drops further.
