The Epic Games Store, now available on iOS, is ramping up its offerings with a weekly free games program on mobile. This exciting development means that mobile gamers can now enjoy a fresh selection of free games every Thursday. The latest releases available for immediate download on both Android and iOS are the much-anticipated Super Meat Boy Forever Mobile and the atmospheric side-scroller Eastern Exorcist.
Super Meat Boy Forever needs little introduction to fans of indie gaming. This sequel has reignited the passion for hardcore side-scrolling platformers. You'll join Meat Boy and Bandage Girl on their mission to rescue their child, Nugget, from the clutches of the nefarious Dr. Fetus. Be prepared for a challenging journey, as the game's difficulty is famously high.
On the other hand, Eastern Exorcist offers a more serious tone with its side-scrolling action RPG gameplay. Set in a world inspired by Japanese and Chinese cultures, you'll navigate through stunning landscapes as an exorcist tasked with vanquishing evil spirits and monsters.
Epic Games' decision to make its free games program weekly showcases a strategic move to capture the rapidly shifting attention of mobile gamers. While it's too early to predict the long-term impact on the storefront's popularity, the immediate benefit is clear: more free games for players. With titles like Super Meat Boy Forever, a worthy sequel to a beloved series, and the visually captivating Eastern Exorcist, there's plenty to enjoy.
