Buy Frostpunk 2 and get this underrated strategy game for free

If you buy Frostpunk 2 in the next few days you'll get a free game. That's right, if you buy the new post-apocalyptic survival game, you'll get a little-loved tower defense strategy game for no extra cost. You don't have forever to play it and it's limited to a specific platform, but a free game is a free game. So if you've already had your eye on 11 Bit Studios' sequel and the game I'm about to describe sounds like a good fit for you, here's your chance to play it for no extra cost.

If you buy Frostpunk 2 before Monday, September 23, you'll get Anomaly: Warzone Earth for free. However, you'll need to buy the survival strategy game on GOG for the offer to work, so keep in mind that it won't be added to your Steam library. Other than that, everything is pretty straightforward from here on out.

You can pick up either the standard or deluxe edition of Frostpunk 2 to get this free extra. If you buy the deluxe edition, you'll also get 72 hours early access before Frostpunk 2's release date. If you're reading this in the next few days, that means you can play 11 bit studios' new game right now.

What exactly is Anomaly: Warzone Earth? It's a 2011 strategy tower defense game from 11 Bit Studios, but not really. It's actually a reverse tower defense game where you lead a military squad through major cities destroyed by aliens. You'll need to explore the map as your convoy slowly travels through the alien defenses, using a range of skills and terrain knowledge to help them advance unscathed.

Think of it like the strategy of XCOM mixed with the decision-making of Bloons Tower Defense 6 (yes, really). You zip around as a commander, gathering resources for more units, abilities to destroy the aliens' defenses, and a full story mode to immerse yourself in.

If you purchase either the Standard or Deluxe Edition of Frostpunk 2 on GOG before Monday, September 23rd, Anomaly Warzone Earth will be automatically added to your library. If you purchase the Deluxe Edition before Friday, September 20th, you will also receive extended access. You can find the game here on GOG.
