Hero’s Hour and Leaf Blower Revolution free on GX.games in November as part of new GX.games Monthly Drop initiative
During November, GX.games – the platform where creators and developers meet the 18 million strong audience of the gaming browser– will be adding two new games for users to download and play for free.
“Once again, GX.games is adding two awesome indie games to the platform next month for users to download and play for free. Both Hero’s Hour and Leaf Blower Revolution have been hugely popular on other games platforms, which is why we’re excited to bring them to Opera GX for free during November. We are also super excited to launch the new Monthly Drop initiative,” said Mattijs de Valk, VP Content Acquisition at Opera.
This month’s first free game is Leaf Blower Revolution, an idle game developed by Humble North which received an Overwhelmingly Positive reaction on Steam and is available to download and play from today. With the leaves starting to fall and build up in your yard, it is down to you to grab your nuclear-powered leaf blowers and clear the leaves away – unlocking upgrades, earning achievements, and more.
The second free game coming to GX.games is Hero’s Hour, a popular combat-based strategy RPG boasting over 100 hours of gameplay. In Hero’s Hour, you take control of a hero on a quest to explore their world, build up their town, fight fast-paced battles, and amass an army capable of conquering any challenge.
Created by Danish developer Benjamin Hauer, Hero’s Hour is the first game available through GX.games that will not only be free to download and play, but users who download the game during the 17th-24th November will be able to keep the game forever.
To ensure you get Hero’s hour for free, go to GX.games, click on the game, create an account, and press “claim it.”
The new games are part of the new “Monthly Drop” by GX.games, an initiative that offers new indie games for free to the Opera GX audience each month. These games are free when accessed via both Opera and Opera GX.
But the fun doesn’t stop there! Gamers hungry for additional high-quality free indie games can also still play many more free games on GX.games, like Last Horizon, Windmills, Textorcist, and Chronicon (only till 22/11).
Hero’s Hour will be available to be claimed for free between Nov 17 and Nov 24, 2022.
The game also features a Bonus Game, which is triggered by hitting apples that randomly appear on the target. Each successful hit fills the progress bar, and once 30 apples are collected, the bonus round begins.
Every knife throw guarantees a win, with no losing outcomes, providing a highly rewarding experience.
The Bonus Game becomes available once 30 apples are collected, offering players an opportunity for bigger rewards.
With the Auto Bet feature, players can set their optimal bet preferences and let the system place bets automatically.
The Lucky Boost feature increases the player’s bet by 50%, offering greater chances for larger payouts.
FreeBet and FreeAmount bonuses allow players to enjoy extra winning opportunities, with terms set by the operator.
