The Epic Games Store has taken a significant step by extending its free games program to mobile devices, now offering weekly releases. This exciting development began with the launch of the store on iOS, and it's already making waves with its initial offerings: the highly anticipated Super Meat Boy Forever Mobile and the atmospheric Eastern Exorcist. Both games are now available for free on Android and iOS, with new releases scheduled to arrive every Thursday.
Super Meat Boy Forever needs no introduction for fans of indie gaming. This sequel has reignited the love for hardcore side-scrolling platformers. As Meat Boy, you'll embark on a challenging quest with Bandage Girl to rescue your child, Nugget, from the clutches of the nefarious Dr. Fetus. Be prepared for a steep difficulty curve that will test your skills to the limit.
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 folklore, you take on the role of an exorcist battling monsters, evil spirits, and sorcery. The game's visually stunning landscapes add to the immersive experience as you journey to vanquish evil.
Epic Games' decision to make its free games program a weekly event is a bold move that underscores the fast-paced nature of the mobile gaming market. By offering free titles on a regular basis, Epic aims to keep players engaged and attract new users to its platform. While the long-term impact on the store's popularity remains to be seen, there's no denying the appeal of free high-quality games like Super Meat Boy Forever and Eastern Exorcist.
