In brief

Cardpocalypse, a €23.99 solo card game, is going free on the Epic Games Store from August 20 to 27. A massive deal to discover this title from studio Gambrinous without spending a cent, especially since it remains paid on Steam.

The Epic Games Store switches its weekly rotation this Thursday, August 20 at 5 PM: Cardpocalypse, listed at €23.99 on the store, drops to zero euros until August 27 at the same time. Albion Online's Epic Mage Pack, a bundle of in-game items, is also free during the same window.

Cardpocalypse is a single-player collectible card game from Irish studio Gambrinous. You play as Jess, a ten-year-old student in a wheelchair, in a school that has just banned the latest craze: a card game called Mega Mutant Power Pets. Its distinctive feature lies in its campaign, where cards change during play — you stick stickers on them to alter their effects. The text is available in French.

The verdict

At €23.99, Cardpocalypse is pricey for what it offers: a campaign of around fifteen hours, with no multiplayer or ongoing support. At zero euros, the question no longer applies, especially if you're looking for a card game that actually ends and doesn't demand boosters or a meta to keep up with. On Steam, it's still listed at €24.50 and isn't on sale. Watch the clock: the previous window, featuring Caravan SandWitch, closes precisely at 5 PM on August 20.
