The Epic Games Store has recently expanded to iOS and is now enhancing its free games program by making it a weekly event! You can now dive into the latest free releases on both Android and iOS, starting with the acclaimed sequel Super Meat Boy Forever and the eerie, atmospheric side-scroller Eastern Exorcist.
Super Meat Boy Forever needs little introduction. This indie gem reignited the passion for hardcore side-scrolling platformers. You'll take on the role of Meat Boy, teaming up with Bandage Girl to rescue their child, Nugget, from the clutches of the nefarious Dr. Fetus. Be prepared for a challenging journey, as the game's notorious difficulty will test your skills to the limit.
On the other hand, Eastern Exorcist offers a more serious tone. This side-scrolling action RPG immerses you in a world inspired by Japanese and Chinese folklore, filled with monsters, evil spirits, and sorcery. As the titular exorcist, your mission is to vanquish evil while exploring visually stunning landscapes.
Epic Games' decision to offer free games weekly is a bold move, reflecting the fast-paced nature of the mobile gaming market. This strategy aims to capture the attention of players who quickly move on to new releases. While it's too early to predict the long-term impact on the storefront's popularity, the immediate benefit is clear: free access to high-quality games like Super Meat Boy Forever and the visually captivating Eastern Exorcist.
