You have seven days from today, August 22, to attach the games permanently to your Epic Games Store library.
The Callisto Protocol comes from Striking Distance Studios, a third-person survival horror experience directed by the same mind behind Dead Space. The title puts you into the shoes of an inmate in a high-security prison found on Jupiter"s moon Callisto. You"ll be fighting the monsters that spawn out a mysterious illness while being stuck on this isolated moon. Developed as a spiritual successor to Dead Space, the sci-fi title features plenty of action too.
Here"s how the game description reads regarding the combat:
The Callisto Protocol challenges players to master a thrilling blend of hand-to-hand and ranged combat, including a unique gravity weapon once used by Black Iron guards to control the prison population. Players will be forced to get up close and personal with their grotesque opponents, hacking off limbs, blasting off legs, and getting creative with whatever is at their disposal to survive each life-or-death encounter.
