Apple is always a no-show at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, but luckily there are other things for Apple fans to be excited about this week… like apps! We’ve rounded up the best paid iPhone and iPad apps of the day that are on sale for free right now, and you’ll find them all listed below. These deals won’t last long though, so be sure to download them while they’re still free.

This post covers paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. BGR is not affiliated with any app developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app anyway, you will be charged by Apple. Some apps may have additional in-app purchases. Subscribe to our RSS feed to be notified as soon as these posts are published and you’ll avoid missing the sales we cover.

Vampire’s Fall: Origins

Normally $4.99.

For countless years the villagers of Vamp’Ire have enjoyed a life of peace and happiness. But now, rumors are spreading about a wielder of dark magic – a Witchmaster. Fearing the rumors to be true, the village musters a militia to prepare for the worst. You are a recruit enrolling to defend the village. Little do you know, fate has something special in store for you…

Vampire’s Fall: Origins is a 2D open-world RPG with turn-based combat. Create your character, choose your bloodline and venture out in the world. Will you wreck havoc in the land, or be the hero people are longing for? Will you use your powers to battle other players or to hunt ferocious monsters?

-Open world
-Fully customizable characters
-Turn-based combat
-Immersive stories
-Dialogue choices
-PvP battles

Vampire’s Fall Origins has been in development for two years as of this writing. We set out to create a serious RPG for mobile phones, without the usual mobile game mechanics. There’s no energy system. There’s no loot boxes. There’s no pay to win. There are, in our opinion, interesting battle mechanics, funny dialogues and a sense of wonder in the world. From our three indie-dev hearts, good luck and have fun!
