The Messenger for free on Epic Games Store

The Epic Games Store has started a free giveaway for the colorful platformer The Messenger.

Upon its release, the game received overwhelmingly positive reviews from both the industry press and critics. Gamers also warmly received The Messenger.

In some ways, the game resembles a modernized version of the classic Ninja Gaiden. Journalists also praised its good humor and memorable soundtrack. As for downsides, some noted that the direction for further gameplay wasn't always clear (though this is a highly subjective point).

When a demon army besieges his village, a young ninja ventures through a cursed world to deliver a scroll without which his clan will perish. What begins as a classic action-platformer soon evolves into an expansive, thrilling time-traveling adventure...
