Epic Games Store: Weekly Free Games - Super Meat Boy Forever, Eastern Exorcist Added

The Epic Games Store has recently launched on iOS and is now taking its free games program to a whole new level by making it a weekly event! You can dive into the action right away, as the first batch of free games is already available for download on both Android and iOS devices. Leading the charge are the much-anticipated Super Meat Boy Forever Mobile and the eerie, atmospheric Eastern Exorcist.

Super Meat Boy Forever needs little introduction to fans of indie games. This sequel revitalized the hardcore side-scrolling platformer genre, placing you in the shoes of Meat Boy as he embarks on a challenging journey with Bandage Girl to rescue their child, Nugget, from the clutches of the nefarious Dr. Fetus. Brace yourself for numerous attempts, as the game's difficulty is legendary.

On the other hand, Eastern Exorcist offers a more somber experience. This side-scrolling action RPG immerses you in a beautifully crafted world inspired by Japanese and Chinese mythology, filled with monsters, evil spirits, and sorcery. As the titular exorcist, your mission is to vanquish evil while exploring breathtaking landscapes.

Epic Games' decision to make their free games program weekly is a bold move, reflecting the fast-paced nature of the mobile gaming market. This strategy aims to capture and retain user attention in an environment where new releases come and go rapidly.

While there's much to discuss about the long-term viability and impact of this approach on the storefront's popularity, there's no denying the appeal of free games. With Super Meat Boy Forever, a worthy addition to a beloved series, and the visually captivating Eastern Exorcist, there's plenty to enjoy.
