The Epic Games Store has just expanded its presence to mobile devices, and it's bringing its popular free games program with it—now on a weekly basis! Starting this week, you can grab the latest free titles directly on your Android or iOS devices. The first games in this exciting lineup are the critically acclaimed Super Meat Boy Forever and the hauntingly beautiful Eastern Exorcist, both available for immediate download.
Super Meat Boy Forever needs little introduction. This indie darling has reignited the passion for hardcore side-scrolling platformers. In this sequel, you guide Meat Boy and Bandage Girl on a perilous journey to rescue their child, Nugget, from the clutches of the nefarious Dr. Fetus. Be prepared for a challenging experience, as the game's difficulty is legendary.
On the other hand, Eastern Exorcist offers a more somber atmosphere with its side-scrolling action RPG gameplay set in a richly detailed world inspired by Japanese and Chinese folklore. As the titular exorcist, your mission is to vanquish evil spirits and navigate through breathtaking landscapes.
Epic Games' decision to offer free games weekly on mobile showcases their commitment to capturing the attention of mobile gamers, who quickly move on to new releases. While it's intriguing to speculate on the long-term impact of this strategy on the Epic Games Store's popularity, one thing is clear: free games are always a welcome addition. With titles like Super Meat Boy Forever and Eastern Exorcist, there's plenty to enjoy without spending a dime.
