It's a Total War Game *and* a Warhammer game *and* a dessert topping. Well, maybe not a dessert topping. But it's still Total War: Warhammer and it's free for the next week from Epic.

Free gift pack Link
By now, this is practically a FTP game but it still has a Steam store price so I guess we can do a half-a$$ed announcement for it.
LH
So half-a$$ed there won't even be a real tag line. -
Here's a new twist: The feature game (Rogue Legacy) is not M-rated but they're also providing an M-Rated alternative (a repeat of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter). Both are free in the Epic store for the next week.
