The Epic Games Store's free mobile game offerings are now switching to a weekly schedule. Recent titles include Super Meat Boy Forever Mobile and Eastern Exorcist, with new releases arriving every Thursday.
Freshly launched on iOS, the Epic Games Store is not only continuing its free games initiative but accelerating it to weekly releases. Android and iOS users can currently claim the acclaimed sequel Super Meat Boy Forever alongside the atmospheric side-scroller Eastern Exorcist.
Super Meat Boy Forever needs little introduction - this indie darling revived interest in challenging platformers. Players control Meat Boy as he teams with Bandage Girl to rescue their child Nugget from the villainous Dr. Fetus. Be prepared for frequent deaths given the game's notorious difficulty.
Eastern Exorcist offers a darker experience, blending Japanese and Chinese mythology in a side-scrolling action RPG. As the titular exorcist, players battle supernatural threats through beautifully crafted environments.
The shift to weekly free games demonstrates Epic's unique position in the mobile market. This aggressive strategy reflects the need to stand out in an ecosystem where players rapidly move between new releases.
While debates continue about the storefront's long-term viability, there's no denying the appeal of quality free games. With offerings like the well-executed Super Meat Boy Forever sequel and visually striking Eastern Exorcist, players have little reason for complaints.
