Eastern Exorcist is the latest mobile freebie of the week for the Epic Games Store

Eastern Exorcist is this week’s free game on the Epic Games Store.

Claim it now at no cost and dive into a mythic world of Chinese fantasy and martial arts.

Immerse yourself in stunning painterly visuals and fluid, fast-paced combat.

It’s Friday—and you know what that means. Time to unwind, kick back, and grab the latest free title on the Epic Games Store. What was once a novelty has become a welcome tradition, with each week bringing a fresh, full-priced game to play for free. This week, that title is Eastern Exorcist, a breathtaking 2D hack-and-slash set in ancient China.

If there’s one thing Epic Games does well, it’s introducing players to hidden gems they might never have discovered otherwise. In Eastern Exorcist, you step into the boots of an exorcist fighting demons in a mythical version of ancient China.

The game’s standout feature is its breathtaking visual style, inspired by classical Chinese ink paintings. As you slash through hordes of demons and mythical creatures rooted in Chinese folklore, you’ll experience the elegance and intensity of traditional Wuxia storytelling. Don’t expect a cheerful ending—this is Chinese opera in game form, where tragedy lingers in every blade swing.

Don’t let the 2D visuals fool you—Eastern Exorcist offers surprising depth. From faithfully rendered folklore creatures to the dynamic way the environment reacts to your movements, your martial arts combat is just the start.

To be honest, this might be one of the best examples yet of why the Epic Games Store’s free games program matters. While free-to-play titles like Doodle Mafia are nice, games like Eastern Exorcist would otherwise remain out of reach for most players—and it’s great to see them get the spotlight.
