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

The Epic Games Store, recently launched on iOS, is now expanding its free games program to a weekly basis! You can already download the latest free titles on both Android and iOS, featuring the popular sequel Super Meat Boy Forever and the atmospheric side-scroller Eastern Exorcist. Every Thursday, you can look forward to new free releases.

Super Meat Boy Forever needs little introduction as it reignited interest in the hardcore side-scrolling platformer genre. In this indie hit, you control the titular Meat Boy on a challenging quest with his partner Bandage Girl to rescue their child Nugget from the evil Dr. Fetus. Be prepared for numerous attempts as the game is notoriously difficult.

On the other hand, Eastern Exorcist offers a more serious tone, taking you into a side-scrolling action RPG set in a world inspired by Japanese and Chinese folklore, filled with monsters, evil spirits, and sorcery. As the titular exorcist, your mission is to vanquish evil while exploring visually stunning landscapes.

Making the free games program weekly is a bold move by Epic Games, reflecting the fast-paced nature of the mobile gaming market. This strategy is designed to keep players engaged by constantly offering new and exciting titles. While it remains to be seen how this will impact the long-term popularity of the storefront, the immediate benefit is clear: free games for everyone to enjoy!

With Super Meat Boy Forever delivering a worthy sequel to a beloved series and Eastern Exorcist captivating players with its visual allure, there's plenty to appreciate.
