Post newly-discovered games here

[CheeseBoar]

This thread is for newly-discovered DRM-free and client-free games, so put what you find in the comments below. I'll post my own comments to let you know that the wiki page has been updated!

Also, it seems like if you copy and paste the Steam store page URL into your comment, it'll give you a really nice link to the page itself, with a preview of the game, and everything (as you can see in many of the comments below). It's a really nice visual cue, so I recommend doing that whenever you find a DRM-free game.

PLEASE MAKE SURE you specify the operating system on which you tested the game. Not all games are created equally, and some games have versions that are DRM-free on one OS but not on another. Also, remember to do a quick check on the wiki page to see if the game is already listed there.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is on Epic and I managed to get it through Amazon Prime Gaming's giveaway. I launched the game directly from the executable, and while an Epic log-in is prompt when launched, it can be skipped by clicking the "x" on the upper-right corner and it seems to be DRM-free other than that. I sadly don't have the DLC on either storefronts to see if the DLC can be played on the Epic version without the client running.

Tested on Windows 10 Home, 64-bit.

I've just got done testing it myself, and it works just like you said. I've tried renaming the folder for the Epic Games Store client, but when I did that, it will badger me about logging in via my web browser. the "-EpicPortal" command line does nothing.

I can confirm that the Epic version of Shredder's Revenge is, in fact, completely DRM-free. The save data is stored in Documents\Tribute Games\TMNT, and the Steam version's save data is compatible.

That's interesting, I renamed the Epic folder, too, and my browser didn't do anything.

EDIT: After testing the current Steam version of Shredder's Revenge in Windows (which seems to be a newer build than the Epic version), I can confirm that it is now also completely DRM-free again, and that old crash when you tried to exit Arcade Mode no longer happens. The DLC is not recognized outside of Steam, though, so you're only going to get the base game DRM-free, but that's better than it was, and saving works outside of Steam now, too! We can officially add the base game back to the wiki!

I just got done testing the Steam version myself, and you were right about everything. I appreciate you letting me know about this.

Just adding that I've tested the Linux version of Shredder's Revenge, and its behavior is exactly the same as the Windows version.

As expected, the new Windows re-release of DOOM + DOOM II from Nightdive is DRM-free.

EDIT: And we're all updated again!

Void Gore is DRM-Free when using the steam_appid.txt trick and even seems to use the same save file as if you were running it through Steam.

Windows 10

It looks like The Plucky Squire is DRM-free according to PCGamingWiki, if anyone can confirm. It's coming to GOG at a later day, too; I wonder why it's delayed.

[BLINXERIZER]

Ubersoldier 1 is DRM-Free right out of the box. No tricks required.

Windows 10

Same as with Void Gore, Z-Warp is DRM-FREE when using the steam_appid.txt trick.

A super-rare occurrence for an EA-published game, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU (Windows) is completely DRM-free now that Denuvo is gone!
