The Epic Games Store has recently expanded its presence to iOS and is now enhancing its free games program by making it a weekly event. This exciting update is already live on both Android and iOS, with the latest offerings being the acclaimed sequel Super Meat Boy Forever and the atmospheric side-scroller Eastern Exorcist. These games are available for immediate download, and new releases will be rolling out every Thursday.
Super Meat Boy Forever needs little introduction among indie gaming enthusiasts. This sequel reignited the passion for hardcore side-scrolling platformers. Players 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 a more serious note, Eastern Exorcist transports players to a world inspired by Japanese and Chinese folklore, filled with monsters, evil spirits, and sorcery. As the titular exorcist, your mission is to purge evil while navigating through visually stunning landscapes. This side-scrolling action RPG offers a unique and immersive experience.
Epic Games' decision to make its free games program weekly is a strategic move tailored to the fast-paced mobile gaming market, where capturing and retaining user attention is crucial. This approach showcases Epic's commitment to providing value to its mobile users. While it remains to be seen how this will impact the long-term success of the Epic Games Store on mobile, the immediate benefit is clear: gamers can enjoy high-quality titles like Super Meat Boy Forever and Eastern Exorcist at no cost.
