This ~~month~~ week's free game is Spelldrifter:

Introducing Spelldrifter, a hybrid tactical role playing game and deck building game that features the best parts of both! Spelldrifter combines the puzzle-like positional tactics of a turn-based RPG battle with the deep customizability and replayability of a collectible card game. The result: a hybrid, wherein players must juggle the resources at their disposal using both time and space.

With Spelldrifter's innovative Tick System, players are challenged to think of card game strategy in a new light. With each character action, the turns interweave on a single timeline. With mastery of the timeline, players gain great advantage in battle and earn the satisfaction of decisive victory. Select your party of heroes, build your decks, and embark on an adventure deep into Starfall as you search for the entrance to the mysterious Labyrinth!

Sadly not yet. But I saw that it was card based and immediately lost interest, so eh, dunno. Seemed like a cool game before that.

Huh, I thought that bit sounded interesting but each to their own. I like card games in real life, but not having to deal with bothering to shuffle all the time is nice.

Just a quick note - it's this weeks free game, not this month - they do a game or two a week. :) I've not played it, and I kind of feel like it could bring the worst of deck-building and real-time strategy together into one, rather than best in my mind; but I'm open to try when I get free time.
