The Epic Games Store, now available on iOS, has exciting news for mobile gamers: its free games program is transitioning to a weekly schedule! This means that every Thursday, you can snag a new free game for both Android and iOS. Kicking off this initiative are two fantastic titles: the highly acclaimed Super Meat Boy Forever and the atmospheric Eastern Exorcist.
Super Meat Boy Forever needs no introduction to fans of indie games. This sequel reignited the passion for hardcore side-scrolling platformers. Join Meat Boy and Bandage Girl on their thrilling quest to rescue their child, Nugget, from the clutches of the nefarious Dr. Fetus. Be warned, the challenge is steep, and you'll likely face numerous restarts, but the satisfaction of conquering its levels is unparalleled.
On the other hand, Eastern Exorcist offers a more serious tone with its side-scrolling action RPG gameplay. Set in a visually stunning world inspired by Japanese and Chinese folklore, you'll step into the shoes of an exorcist tasked with vanquishing evil spirits and monsters amidst enchanting landscapes.
Epic Games' decision to make their free games program weekly highlights the unique dynamics of the mobile gaming market. The rapid cycle of new releases necessitates such a bold move to keep players engaged and draw attention to their platform. While the long-term impact on the storefront's popularity remains to be seen, the immediate allure of free high-quality games like Super Meat Boy Forever and Eastern Exorcist is undeniable.
