We've got another batch of the best free games on Kongregate for January 2013. The selections and descriptions below have been provided by Kongregate's own Rebecca Francis. Check them out and tell us what you think in the comments section below.

Dawn of Darkness (Above)
Recruit heroes and strategically build battle formations to take on the forces of evil in this Adventure-RPG. The game art is a treat to look at, and powerful and upgradeable weapons are a treat to use. Take on a series of shadowy bosses, and enjoy the game's exciting story and excellent sense of humor!

Antimatiere
You're the only 3-dimensional being left in a 2D world. In order to find out what went wrong, you'll need to navigate your way through many levels of puzzles. Enjoy the surreal experience of manipulating flat objects as you explore a flat world. This game is the winner of Kongregate's Unity Contest.

Company of Myself
An oldie but a goody, this puzzle platformer reminds us all that you're never really alone. As a small, melancholy man, you must use as many iterations of yourself as necessary to complete the levels before you. With excellent music and a simple, sad story, this game is still one of the best ways to kill time on Kongregate.

Berzerk Ball 2
If you're like most people who use the internet, you've wanted to punch someone through the screen. Berzerk Ball 2 does the next best thing, allowing you to launch an internet geek into next week. Upgrade your weapons and teammates for maximum geek-distance and geek-velocity, or take a break from launching with some fun minigames!

Creeper World: User Space
We've all played defense games before, but the creeper is a different kind of enemy. The nasty blue stuff is threatening to destroy the world as you know it, one teensy weensy bit at a time. Build structures to blast it back throughout a dozen creative and clever levels. A Kongregate classic, this game is a must for any dedicated defense fan.

Check out the top picks from previous months:

Woah, it's been a while since I've visited my good friend Kongregate. I guess I'll have to pay him a visit soon.

Nice.

Shouldn't the disclaimer say "Gameinformer and Kongregate are both owned by Gamestop"?

I recomend Focus. It's frustratingly challenging but fun to test your skills

I loved Company Of Myself I finally quit after I started sucking really bad.

I dislike how only Dawn of Darkness is from this month (and it's multiplayer, so I'm going to avoid it like the plague). Plus Berzerk Ball 2 was a letdown compared to the first one. Antimatiere was a really interesting and awe-inspiring game, so it's cool to see it listed. The Company of Myself is still by far one of the best browser-only titles out there, and it was made almost four years ago. Creeper World is also pretty great, but strategy games never hold my attention for more than thirty minutes.

Anyone else notice the pretty obvious and shameful rip of WoW character models in the Dawn of Darkness screen? Learn how to make your own characters. Geez.

How are you supposed to know what consoles their for ?
by Thomas85019 Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 07:17 PM

I strongly reccomend Farm of Souls.
by Zero Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 09:01 PM

I guess I should try Dawn of Darkness. I played Antimatiere and got stuck in the wall. I've played the others - the Creeper series is so addicting to me for some reason.
by Allen Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 11:41 PM

Played two of those. The first one broke on me in the third level, and the second one wasn't all that entertaining, and seemed to have errors in the dialogue. That's the best they have to offer, huh?
by Jaded Gamer Friday, January 18, 2013 at 01:06 AM

The Company of Myself is an amazing experience with a powerful and seemingly powerful story. highly recommend.
by KingGainer Friday, January 18, 2013 at 03:39 PM

Some of those are a few years old. I really enjoy Creeper World. it's not graphically impressive, but it is pretty fun.
