The Epic Games Store is handing out two genuinely great games this week. Sunderfolk, the cozy D&D-inspired tactical RPG, and The Telltale Batman Shadows Edition, which packages both seasons of Telltale's beloved Batman series, are both free to claim between May 14 and May 21 at 8am PT / 11am ET.
Sunderfolk: the approachable tactical RPG you probably slept on
Sunderfolk launched in 2025 and flew under a lot of radars, but it's the kind of game that rewards anyone who gives it a proper shot. Designed for up to 4 players, it drops your party into the town of Arden and tasks you with protecting it through turn-based tactical combat with a distinctly D&D flavour. Think board game night translated to a screen, with all the warmth and low-stakes fun that implies.
Here's the thing: Sunderfolk originally required a mobile phone app to control your characters, which put some players off. Its 2.0 update in March changed that, adding full mouse-and-keyboard support and online PC multiplayer. You can now get the whole crew together over Discord without anyone needing to dig out their phone. The couch co-op option via phone still exists if you want that living-room-and-snacks energy, but the barrier to entry is much lower now.
For fans of Baldur's Gate 3, Sunderfolk sits at a very different point on the spectrum. It trades BG3's sprawling narrative depth and hundreds of hours of content for something you can actually finish in a weekend with friends. That's not a knock. Sometimes you want a quick, satisfying tactical adventure rather than a full campaign commitment.
If you're jumping into Sunderfolk for the first time, the couch co-op setup via mobile still works smoothly and adds a genuinely fun social layer to the experience.
What the Telltale Batman Shadows Edition actually includes
The Telltale Batman Shadows Edition is the full package. Both the original Batman: The Telltale Series and its follow-up The Enemy Within are included, plus the Shadows Mode that recolors and remasters the visuals into a stark black-and-white noir aesthetic, closer in feel to 2022's The Batman film than the standard colorful presentation.
The series is now approaching a decade old, which is a strange thing to sit with. Telltale built their own Batman canon entirely separate from any existing DC continuity, which gave them real freedom. You can play Bruce Wayne as a calculating tactician or a bruiser, and shift between the billionaire and the vigilante depending on how you want to handle each situation. Neither season gets enough credit compared to The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, but both hold up as strong character-driven experiences.
Why this particular week's lineup hits different
Epic's free game rotation is a weekly fixture at this point, but the quality varies wildly. This week is genuinely one of the stronger drops in recent memory. Two complete, polished experiences with real replay value, both free.
For anyone who's been curious about the D&D-adjacent RPG games space after spending time in Faerûn, Sunderfolk is a low-commitment way to scratch that tactical itch with friends. And if you've never touched Telltale's Batman, the Shadows Edition is the best version of it.
Both games are available to claim at the Epic Games Store until May 21. Once claimed, they're yours to keep. If you're planning a BG3 run and want supporting resources, the Baldur's Gate 3 guides collection has everything from achievement hunting to companion recruitment covered.
