UPDATE: For unknown reasons, Epic Games unceremoniously replaced Speed Brawl with Minit as this week's free game offering. Speed Brawl lists “coming soon” on its store page.

Are you looking for a game that focuses both on thrill and action? Speed Brawl might be the game that you’re looking for. The name of the game literally speaks for itself. Speed Brawl is free to claim this week in the Epic Games Store

Speed Brawl is a 2D side scroller fighting game wherein players fight their way through a swarm of enemies. The game is also a combat racer which means you need to fight your way through as fast as possible. There are multiple leagues for players to participate in. Each league comes with its very own unique environmental hazards. There are also several challenges players need to accomplish in specific leagues. Speed Brawl will have multiple game modes as well. Championship mode is basically the game’s campaign mode. Rage Gauge is a mode that requires players to fill up the rage meter to progress through the stage. Pole races challenge players to swing through all the poles before reaching the finish line. Another variant of the pole race will require players to smash all targets in a level before completing the race. Players have a selection of six different brawlers to choose from to blast their way through the competition. 

The main story focuses on Ebba and Bia, two combat racers with one goal in mind, that’s to win the leagues. Along the way, they’ll ignite rivalries and create new friendships with the people they meet. 

Speed Brawl is free on the Epic Games Store from August 5 – 11.
