Epic Games Store Shifts to Weekly Free Games: Super Meat Boy Forever and Eastern Exorcist Next

The Epic Games Store has recently launched on iOS and is now enhancing its free games program to a weekly basis for mobile users. This exciting update means that gamers on both Android and iOS can enjoy a new selection of free games every Thursday. The kickoff to this initiative features the eagerly anticipated Super Meat Boy Forever Mobile and the atmospheric Eastern Exorcist, both available for immediate download.

Super Meat Boy Forever needs little introduction to fans of indie gaming. This sequel reignites the passion for hardcore side-scrolling platformers, where you take on the role of Meat Boy on a challenging quest to rescue his child, Nugget, from the clutches of the nefarious Dr. Fetus. Be prepared for a test of skill, as the game's notorious difficulty will see you facing numerous retries.

On the other hand, Eastern Exorcist offers a more serious tone with its side-scrolling action RPG set in a world inspired by Japanese and Chinese folklore. As the protagonist, you'll combat monsters and evil spirits, navigating through beautifully crafted landscapes on a mission to eradicate evil.

Epic Games' decision to make its free games program weekly is a strategic move tailored to the fast-paced nature of the mobile gaming market. This approach is designed to keep users engaged and attract new players by constantly refreshing the available titles. While the long-term success of this strategy remains to be seen, the immediate benefit to gamers is undeniable—access to high-quality games like Super Meat Boy Forever and Eastern Exorcist at no cost.
