Sol Cesto: tactical roguelite built around luck

Sol Cesto arrives first on Epic’s free lineup and is described as a tactical, frantic roguelite where “mastering your luck is key.” Its presentation leans into a distinctive, eerie underworld vibe, paired with an otherworldly soundtrack.

Gameplay is largely structured in a tabletop-style flow. As you move through the underworld, you select one of four rows of tiles to “land in,” but the tile you end up on is determined at random. Those tiles can lead to outcomes like treasure chests and strawberries, while also affecting your survival through health changes and enemy encounters.

To help you recover the missing sun, you use “metal and stone teeth” to influence runs—placing curses and altering the game’s rules and probabilities. The overall premise makes the outcome feel heavily dependent on whether your luck holds up.

OXTO: fast mansion shoot ’em up with randomized rooms

OXTO also falls under the roguelite umbrella, but its style is positioned as far more action-heavy. The game is framed as a top-down, black-and-white pixel shoot ’em up with a pacing that’s compared to faster, more aggressive action games.

In OXTO, you enter a mansion as a featureless, unnamed character with no memories of how you arrived. You do, however, know your loved one is inside—and you “cannot leave until you find her.” Progression centers on gunplay, ability customization, and boss battles.

The game also features more than 150 rooms, with those rooms appearing randomly for each playthrough. Combined with an intense, adrenaline-driven soundtrack, the structure is built for repeated runs through the mansion’s halls.

How to claim both for free

Sol Cesto and OXTO are available through the Epic Games Store for free between Thursday, July 30 and August 6, with the daily cutoff at 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm BST / 5pm CEST. Claim them within that period to keep both games permanently in your library.
