Continuing to be a favourite indie game I keep a close eye on, The Fertile Crescent is a Bronze Age real-time strategy game that's currently entirely free to play.

Developed for the Ludum Dare 46 Game Jam that happened in April this year, one of the most interesting games to come out of it was Keep It Alive.

Just like Unitystation, Space Station 14 is another game attempting to revive the classic RPG Space Station 13 with cross-platform support on a more modern platform.

0 A.D. is a free and open source in-development real-time strategy game from Wildfire Games, one that hasn't seen a big release for quite some time but work continues with it pulling in lots of goodies.

I love short experimental games and Swallow the Sea is up there in my favourites this year, as it's so delightfully weird that it's absolutely captivating.

Chroma: Bloom And Blight was quite a surprise to be told about today, a very ambitious upcoming competitive card game that will have full Linux support.

Humble Store just announced their massive Spring Sale is live, with tons of games discounted and you can grab a free game too.

Not many popular MMO games have Linux support but Albion Online does and it appears that in terms of player population overall they're doing well.

Remember SkyRoads? A classic 90's racing game with a bit of a twist, that acts a bit like a platformer. It has a free clone called Tasty Static, which recently had a big update. I've been a little obsessed over it too.

Endless Sky, a free and open source classic 2D space game continues expanding with the first stable release in quite some time.

OpenRA, the excellent free and open source RTS game engine for playing classic Westwood titles has a huge new release finally out as stable today.

Total War: SHOGUN 2 is now FREE to grab until May 1st on Steam. This is not a free week or weekend, this is your chance to grab an entirely free copy of the game.

Currently in development with it classed as being in an "alpha state", Verdant Village seems like a sweet and promising high fantasy alternative to Stardew Valley with some new themes.

XCOM 2, likely one of my absolutely all-time favourite strategy games can be played for free until April 30.

Epicinium is a name I've not heard in some time. After a failed Kickstarter in 2018, they're back with their strategy game and the team at A Bunch of Hacks have a new plan for it which includes open source.

OpenRA, the free and open source real-time strategy game engine for playing classic Westwood games has a new testing release up. Additionally, Fractured Realms, a game powered by OpenRA tech has a pre-release.

It's another weekend, although you will be completely forgiven for having no idea what day it is. I don't remember half the time right now as it's all blurring into one during lockdown. Here's a look over what you can get cheap and free right now.
