The classic Fallout games are currently free to claim on PC

If you've never had the chance to play the classic Fallout games, then now is your perfect opportunity. Until the 5th of September, Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics are all free to claim on PC via the Epic Games Store.

Fallout 1 is set in the year 2161 after the events of a global resource war brought on by shortages in oil and uranium, nobody knows who struck first but the war eventually turned nuclear and ended in major cities being destroyed and small settlements of people becoming unable to live on in the wasteland. Surviving humans went underground and chose to live and set up societies in the Fallout vaults, your character's story begins in vault 13.

Fallout 2 takes place in the year 2241 and sets you out on a quest to retrieve a device known as the GECK, which is found in vault 13. However, upon retrieving the device you'll find your village has been taken over by the enclave. The enclave consists of the last remnants of the US government, these are the guys you'll be fighting for the rest of the game.

Lastly, we have Fallout Tactics which focuses on the Brotherhood of Steel and its quest to restore humanity. You start off in Chicago attempting to gain territory by offering protection to human settlements, but you'll soon find raiders getting in the way. Other enemies that you will go up against includes Beastlords and even an army of robots. However, this game's story line does contradict some of the events that take place during Fallout 3 so it is considered non-canon by Bethesda.

You can claim all three games, HERE.

KitGuru Says: The classic Fallout games have some fantastic storytelling in them, but as these are old-school RPGs, they can be quite difficult to get to grips with. It is worth it though in my opinion.
