Epic Games Store: Weekly Free Games - Super Meat Boy Forever and Eastern Exorcist Now Available

The Epic Games Store has recently launched on iOS and is now expanding its free games program to a weekly basis on mobile platforms. This exciting development allows Android and iOS users to enjoy free game releases every Thursday. The latest offerings include the highly anticipated Super Meat Boy Forever Mobile and the atmospheric side-scroller, Eastern Exorcist.

Super Meat Boy Forever, a sequel to the beloved indie game, has reignited the passion for hardcore side-scrolling platformers. Players take on the role of Meat Boy, who, alongside Bandage Girl, embarks on a challenging quest to rescue their child, Nugget, from the clutches of the nefarious Dr. Fetus. Be prepared for a steep difficulty curve that promises plenty of retries.

On the other hand, Eastern Exorcist offers a more serious tone with its side-scrolling action RPG gameplay. Set in a world inspired by Japanese and Chinese folklore, you play as an exorcist tasked with battling monsters, evil spirits, and sorcery across beautifully crafted landscapes.

By making the free games program weekly, Epic Games is tapping into the fast-paced nature of the mobile gaming market. This strategy aims to keep players engaged and attract new users by offering fresh content regularly. While the long-term impact on the storefront's popularity remains to be seen, the immediate appeal of free games like Super Meat Boy Forever and Eastern Exorcist is undeniable.
