Here’s what’s available.
🔥Steam free games for May 15
Blight’s Grasp
• Genre: Action-adventure, hack-and-slash
• Developer: Chrono Clash
• Why play: On a decaying but beautiful corrupted alien planet, you play a lone survivor looking for your lost sister. You’ll explore this unique world filled with hostile creatures and take them down with quick melee combos or elemental ranged attacks. Strong environmental storytelling and dynamic combat make it one of the better games in this drop.
• Steam rating: Positive
I Hate Orcs: In My Garden
• Genre: Arcade platformer
• Why play: This arcade game drops you into a garden battlefield. Dodge rolling orcs, jump over dangers, and kill them before they swarm you. Tight controls and the waves just get more and more chaotic and endless. Perfect for short play sessions or fans of older reflex-based gameplay!
Grab Your Masks
-
Genre: Puzzle
-
Why play: You play as Mimi, a cat trying to keep the environment clean. Toss face masks into bins across 24 levels using simple drag-and-drop logic. The mechanics are easy to learn, but the levels get more complex as you go. Lighthearted visuals and soft music make it a relaxing experience with a twist.
Diplomacy Is Not an Option: Shareware
-
Genre: RTS, colony sim, tower defense
-
Why play: A prequel to the full game, this version lets you build a medieval city under siege. Manage resources, train troops, and survive endless waves of enemies. The included Endless Mode map and two campaign missions have real strategic depth, balanced with humor and stylized visuals. A must-play for fans of real-time battle sims.
