The Epic Games Store has recently expanded its presence to mobile devices, and now, they're taking their free games program to the next level by making it a weekly event. Starting off strong, the first wave of free titles available for both Android and iOS users includes the highly anticipated Super Meat Boy Forever Mobile and the hauntingly beautiful Eastern Exorcist. Each Thursday, gamers can look forward to new releases, keeping the excitement alive.
Super Meat Boy Forever needs no introduction for fans of challenging platformers. This indie sequel has rekindled the flame for hardcore side-scrolling adventures. You'll step into the shoes of Meat Boy, teaming up with Bandage Girl to rescue their kidnapped child, Nugget, from the clutches of the nefarious Dr. Fetus. Be prepared for a tough journey, as this game is known for its demanding difficulty.
On the other hand, Eastern Exorcist offers a more somber tone, immersing players in a side-scrolling action RPG set in a world inspired by Japanese and Chinese folklore. As the titular exorcist, your mission is to combat malevolent spirits and monsters across breathtaking landscapes, blending sorcery with intense combat.
Epic Games' decision to offer weekly free games on mobile is a bold move, reflecting the fast-paced nature of the mobile gaming market. It's a strategy aimed at capturing attention in an environment where gamers quickly shift to new titles. While it remains to be seen how this will affect the popularity and sustainability of the Epic Games Store on mobile, the immediate benefit for gamers is undeniable: free access to top-tier games like Super Meat Boy Forever and the visually striking Eastern Exorcist.
