The Epic Games Store has recently launched on iOS and is now expanding its free games program to a weekly schedule on mobile platforms. The latest additions to this program, available for both Android and iOS, are the highly anticipated Super Meat Boy Forever Mobile and the atmospheric side-scrolling action RPG, Eastern Exorcist. New releases are set to be introduced every Thursday, keeping the excitement alive for mobile gamers.
Super Meat Boy Forever needs no introduction among fans of indie games. This sequel revitalizes the hardcore side-scrolling platformer genre, putting players in the shoes of Meat Boy as he embarks on a challenging quest with Bandage Girl to rescue their child, Nugget, from the clutches of the nefarious Dr. Fetus. Expect to face numerous deaths due to the game's notorious difficulty.
On a different note, Eastern Exorcist offers a more serious tone. This side-scrolling action RPG immerses players in a world inspired by Japanese and Chinese cultures, filled with monsters, evil spirits, and sorcery. As the titular exorcist, your mission is to vanquish evil while exploring breathtaking landscapes.
By turning the free games program into a weekly event, Epic Games is leveraging a unique strategy that reflects the fast-paced nature of the mobile gaming market. This move is designed to capture the attention of gamers who are quick to move on to new releases. While it remains to be seen how this will affect the store's popularity and long-term viability, the allure of free games is undeniable. Both Super Meat Boy Forever, with its challenging yet rewarding gameplay, and the visually captivating Eastern Exorcist, make compelling additions to any gamer's library.
