F2P Friday: CAPTAIN NOBODY AND THE CONQUEST OF THE UNIVERSE
Welcome to this week's installment of F2P Friday, where we highlight our favorite Free-2-Play games. New video games hit the market daily from indie developers, and sometimes, hidden gems fall through the cracks. This is where we dig for you and feature a new F2P game we know you will enjoy every week. Today, we navigate a debris-covered stretch of space in Captain Nobody and the Conquest of the Universe . RELATED: Need more free games? Check out our F2P Friday archives! Captain Nobody and the Conquest of the Universe In a galaxy full of junk, you are nobody trying to build an empire. Navigate the scrap fields to collect resources, build your crew from the shady outerworld ports and make allies in the cold atmosphere of uncaring space. Think you've got what it takes? — Nobody cares. The Basics Let's get down to the basics of Captain Nobody and the Conquest of the Universe by Djamp Games. This is a space-themed incremental clicker game with high satire jokes and sci-fi trope humor. From the safety of your ship's viewing station, you will manage scrap retrieval and encounter strange alien worlds. Make new connections to hire the best crew available from the population at the edge of the scrap heaps, keeping an eye out for special abilities. Turn your resources into currency to upgrade your fleet using duct tape, shady deals and intergalactic trade coupons. RELATED: July's Most Anticipated Video Games Players are thrown into gameplay after a speedy cinematic, but there is an efficient tutorial to point out important areas on the screen. Even still, I had to restart the game a few times to fully grasp the rhythm of the resource management and understand the flow of the game. Adding pause functionality would be a usual quality-of-life update to help new players navigate the menu space. After the initial dunk into the game and clickfest, avenues of automation will open up to make the gameplay incremental. Why Should I Play? So why should you play Captain Nobody and the Conquest of the Universe? This is a fun, easy clicker game packed with dry humor and references. The game is still in early development, so some of the hit boxes on the scrap can be temperamental, but your ship is tough and the haul is forgiving. Players can spend time actively collecting scrap, managing the notifications or exploring on the center screen. There is no save functionality, but subsequent restarts build the gameplay progression faster, and randomized events help replayability. RELATED: Mobile Game Monday: Relive Sega Channel With Sonic the Hedgehog The art for the game is a bit underwhelming, as the assets and promotional materials I could find seem to be AI-generated. The rocking introductory song also contains some nonsense lyrics that tip it off as being AI-generated, but the vibe of the song is really fun. The game creator is actively updating the game and taking community feedback, so hopefully they will update the assets to authentic original art and music. You can play this free demo for Captain Nobody and the Conquest of the Universe on in the browser. F2P Friday: STRAY CATS IN COZY TOWN

F2P Friday: TOKO AND KRAFT: ARTIFICERS
Welcome to this week's installment of F2P Friday, where we highlight our favorite Free-2-Play games. New video games hit the market daily from indie developers, and sometimes, hidden gems fall through the cracks. This is where we dig for you and feature a new F2P game we know you will enjoy every week. Today, we step up to the crafting table of TOKO & KRAFT: ARTIFICERS to create solutions. RELATED: Check out our F2P Friday archives TOKO & KRAFT: ARTIFICERS Congratulations, newly graduated artificer, and welcome to the village. You'll serve a small group of characters connected to some very big mysteries. As an artificer, you'll combine elements alongside your (usually) trusty assistant, Kraft, to create new items and meet your zany customers' needs. The Basics Let's get down to the basics of TOKO & KRAFT: ARTIFICERS by Pure Jam Games, an item combination puzzle crafter game with drag-and-drop mechanics. The screen of the game is in a vertical setting, so you can play it on a mobile device or on a PC. If you are playing on the PC, I recommend adjusting the magnification on your screen, as the text below some of the ideas can be very small. RELATED: July's Most Anticipated Video Games Each customer will come in requesting a specific item that needs to be crafted using the base elements provided. There is a great tutorial introducing the puzzle elements, but the difficulty ramps up quickly and requires some out-of-the-box thinking. Combining different elements can sometimes result in the same item being created, so checking the encyclopedia for discovered recipes can save strikes. The faster and more accurate your solutions are, the more stars you are awarded. The puzzle solutions are intermediate level and may require several attempts. Why Should I Play? Why should you play TOKO & KRAFT: ARTIFICERS ? This hilarious, unique puzzle crafter is well worth the time. Depending on how quickly you solve the puzzles, each chapter takes 15-20 minutes to play through. I found keeping a note of the combinations was easier than navigating the book between levels. If you need to take a break, there is a save function to keep your progress. RELATED: 15 Co-Op Games Announced in June 2025 This is a well-rounded game full of interesting characters with amazing comedic timing. I love the over-the-top anime-style villains and the rotating character portraits. The characters from this installment are in another game, Kraft & Slash , and I hope there will be a continuation of the story with a possible shop mechanic and upgrade system. If you are ready to create solutions for the town, you can play TOKO & KRAFT: ARTIFICERS for free on PC or mobile in a web browser by visiting here. F2P Friday: STRANGE ANTIQUITIES
