For those who might not be aware, the Epic Games Store for mobile mirrors its PC counterpart by offering free games, but with a twist: instead of monthly, they're available weekly, and you get two games instead of one! This week, wrapping up April, you can snag two fantastic titles completely free: Loop Hero and Chuchel. If you're a regular reader of Pocket Gamer, you'll recognize Loop Hero as one of our top picks. Jack's glowing review praised its engaging roguelike experience, making it a must-play from this duo.
But what about Chuchel? This surreal animated adventure follows the character Chuchel on a quest to retrieve his stolen cherry. Along the journey, Chuchel and his rival Kekel find themselves in a series of hilarious and bizarre situations that you'll need to navigate or simply enjoy watching unfold.
While Chuchel might have been a bit perplexing, it was still a delightful experience for our App Army upon its release. Even if it's not your usual genre, you can't beat the price of free. On the other hand, Loop Hero is highly recommended for its challenging gameplay and stunning pixel art visuals.
The Epic Games Store for mobile brings many of the same benefits as its PC version, including these weekly free releases and access to popular titles like Fortnite, which are otherwise unavailable on mobile.
