The Epic Games Store has recently launched on iOS and is now extending its popular free games program to a weekly basis on mobile devices. This exciting development means that gamers can enjoy new free titles every Thursday, starting with the immediate availability of Super Meat Boy Forever Mobile and Eastern Exorcist on both Android and iOS platforms.

Super Meat Boy Forever, a sequel to the beloved indie classic, reignites the thrill of hardcore side-scrolling platforming. 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. Prepare for a high difficulty level that promises plenty of retries but also immense satisfaction upon mastering its levels.

On the other hand, Eastern Exorcist offers a more somber tone with its side-scrolling action RPG gameplay, set in a hauntingly beautiful world inspired by Japanese and Chinese folklore. As the protagonist, an exorcist, you'll battle monsters and evil spirits, navigating through visually stunning environments as you seek to eradicate the forces of darkness.

The decision to transition the free games program to a weekly format is a bold move by Epic Games, reflecting the fast-paced nature of the mobile gaming market. This strategy aims to capture and retain user attention amidst the rapid release cycle of new games. While it's too early to predict the long-term impact on the storefront's popularity, the immediate benefit of accessing high-quality games like Super Meat Boy Forever and the visually captivating Eastern Exorcist at no cost is undeniable.
