Epic Games has delighted gamers once again with their free games program, now offering weekly freebies instead of monthly. This week, the Epic Games Store is giving away Super Meat Boy Forever and Eastern Exorcist, and you can claim them for free until March 27th. While Epic is keeping their next week's offerings a mystery, these two games are certainly worth grabbing now.
Super Meat Boy Forever revives the intense platforming challenge of its predecessor but introduces an auto-runner mechanic. This means the movement is automatic, shifting the focus to perfectly timed jumps and attacks while you navigate through a gauntlet of sawblades and other lethal obstacles. The game maintains the precision that fans loved in the original, and comes with controller support, though the touch controls are also quite effective if you prefer not to use a controller.
On the other hand, Eastern Exorcist offers a darker, more serious tone as a side-scrolling action RPG. Set in a world inspired by Chinese and Japanese folklore, you take on the role of an exorcist battling demons and supernatural beings. The game's hand-drawn art and unique, eerie character designs are a visual treat, making its cut scenes a highlight. You can download both Super Meat Boy Forever and Eastern Exorcist from the Epic Games Android Store.
In addition to the free games, Epic Games is also enhancing its mobile gaming catalogue. New additions to both Android and iOS include Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead, MR RACER: Premium, The Forest Quartet, and The WereCleaner. For Android users exclusively, there are new titles such as Bowling Clash, Endling – Extinction is Forever, Chicken Police – Paint it RED, One Hand Clapping, Neighbours Back From Hell, This is The Police, This is The Police 2, This is The President, and Through the Darkest of Times.
