Tactical turn-based strategy game Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is free to claim in Epic Games Store

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden was released in 2018 on Steam and has garnered a “Very Positive” user rating. Developed by The Bearded Ladies and published by Funcom, the game scratches the turn-based itch of XCOM while standing on its own with its unique gloomy and mysterious environment.

Players get to control a cast of anthropomorphic ducks and boars, among other creatures, to “journey through a post-human world of abandoned cities, crumbling highways, and overgrown countryside.” They must scavenge through the remains of civilization, fighting off the Mutants, deformed humanoids and animals alike, who are also searching for salvation or just something to eat.

The art direction of Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is exquisite, and the dynamic environment greatly enhances the game's turn-based combat. While the normal difficulty is catered to more casual players, veteran tactics gamers will enjoy the challenges offered by the harder modes.
