Epic Games Store wraps up its MEGA Sale 2026 Mystery Game promotion with two turn-based gems: Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest, worth a combined $59.98, free to claim until June 11.
Epic Games Store is giving away two turn-based strategy titles this week at no cost. Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest are both free to claim from June 4 through June 11, 2026. Together, these games carry a combined retail value of $59.98 on Steam. Once you add them to your library during the promotion window, they are yours to keep permanently.
This giveaway marks the final week of the MEGA Sale 2026 Mystery Game promotion, which launched on May 14. Over the past four weeks, the promotion has delivered titles including Sunderfolk, The Telltale Batman Shadows Edition, Down in Bermuda, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, Calico, and LONESTAR. The MEGA Sale itself, featuring deep discounts across the entire Epic Games Store catalog, also concludes on June 11.
What Is Rogue Waters?
Rogue Waters is a tactical turn-based roguelite developed by Ice Code Games and released on September 30, 2024. Set in a pirate world overtaken by a terrible curse, you play as Captain Cutter, commanding your ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters in a quest for revenge. The game blends squad-based tactical combat with roguelite progression, offering dynamic naval and melee encounters.
You recruit, train, and upgrade a ragtag crew of rogues, transforming them into fierce pirates. Powerful sea creatures can be deployed to gain the upper hand in battle. Reviewers have praised Rogue Waters as “a charming and engaging tactics game” that does a solid job blending roguelite variety with pirate-themed action-adventure. At its standard Steam price of $29.99, it has earned positive feedback for its gripping combat and unique setting.
What Is Songs of Conquest?
Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy adventure game developed by Swedish indie studio Lavapotion and published by Coffee Stain Publishing. It entered early access on May 10, 2022, and reached full release on May 20, 2024. With over 11,500 user reviews on Steam and an 85% positive rating, plus a Metacritic score of 78, it has established itself as one of the strongest entries in the Heroes of Might and Magic-inspired strategy genre.
The game features four distinct factions locked in an epic conflict: the Arleon knights, the Rana marsh tribes, the Loth necromancers, and the Barya mercenaries (with additional factions available through DLC). You lead powerful magicians called Wielders, raise mighty armies, wield ancient magic, and forge an empire. Songs of Conquest sold over 500,000 copies by May 2024 and has been praised for its innovative magic system, gorgeous pixel art, and deep strategic gameplay.
How Songs of Conquest Stands Out From the Crowd
What makes Songs of Conquest particularly compelling is its unique approach to the classic adventure-strategy formula. Unlike traditional mana-based magic, Songs of Conquest uses an essence system where spellcasting power is generated by your units during combat. Different unit types produce different essence, encouraging diverse army compositions. You can cast multiple spells per turn as long as you have enough essence, adding a layer of tactical depth rarely seen in the genre.
The game supports single-player campaigns, online PvP, local multiplayer, and even cross-platform multiplayer. An in-game map editor lets you create custom scenarios using the same tools the developers used, and a thriving mod community has produced hundreds of additional maps. Songs of Conquest runs on both Windows and macOS, includes 15 language options, and features full controller support. It won the PC Gaming Show “Most Anticipated Game” award at E3 2021 and earned a Unity Awards nomination for Best 2D Visuals.
How to Claim the Free Games
Claiming both games is straightforward and takes just a few minutes:
- Visit the Epic Games Store website or open the Epic Games launcher on your PC.
- Log in with your Epic Games account (or create a free one if you do not have one).
- Navigate to the store pages for Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest.
- Click the “Get” button on each game and complete the zero-cost checkout.
- Both titles will be permanently added to your library for download at any time.
The offer expires on June 11, 2026, at 4:00 PM GMT / 11:00 AM ET. After that deadline, both games revert to their standard pricing. Note that while both games are available on Windows, only Songs of Conquest also supports macOS.
What Free Games Are Coming Next Week?
Epic Games has already revealed the next wave of freebies. From June 11 to June 18, players can claim The Ouroboros King, described by its developer as “chess meets roguelike,” and Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks. While the MEGA Sale Mystery Game promotion ends this week, Epic Games Store’s regular weekly free game tradition continues year-round, having given away dozens of titles throughout 2026 alone, including Total War: Three Kingdoms, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, and many more.
Who Should Pick Up These Games?
Rogue Waters is a great fit for players who enjoy tactical turn-based combat with a strong roguelite loop. If you like games where every run feels different thanks to procedural generation, and you have a soft spot for pirate aesthetics, this one is easy to recommend. The combination of ship-to-ship naval encounters and on-deck melee combat provides a refreshing twist on the tactical genre.
Songs of Conquest appeals to a broader strategy audience. Fans of Heroes of Might and Magic will feel right at home, but the game’s innovations (the essence-based magic system, elevation mechanics in combat, and faction-locked unit compositions) make it feel distinct rather than derivative. With four full campaigns, hundreds of community maps, and robust multiplayer, it offers potentially dozens of hours of gameplay. Its comparison with the recently released Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era has made it a frequent topic of discussion in the strategy gaming community.
Together, these two titles represent nearly $60 worth of quality turn-based gaming, completely free. Whether you are a seasoned strategy veteran or a newcomer curious about the genre, this week’s Epic Games Store lineup is well worth a few minutes of your time. Just make sure you claim both before the June 11 deadline passes.
