The Epic Games Store has recently expanded to iOS and is now enhancing its free games program by making it a weekly event on mobile platforms. This exciting development means that gamers can look forward to new free titles 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. In the game, you take on the role of Meat Boy, embarking on a challenging journey with Bandage Girl to rescue their child, Nugget, from the clutches of the nefarious Dr. Fetus. Be prepared for a high level of difficulty that will test your skills and patience.
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 play as an exorcist tasked with battling monsters, evil spirits, and sorcery. The game's visually stunning landscapes add depth to your journey as you strive to eradicate evil.
Epic Games' decision to offer weekly free games on mobile is a strategic move to capture the attention of a market that quickly shifts focus to new releases. While the long-term impact on the storefront's popularity remains to be seen, the immediate benefit for gamers is clear: access to high-quality games at no cost. 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.
