The Epic Games Store, recently launched on iOS, has now expanded its free games program to a weekly basis, bringing exciting titles directly to your mobile device. Currently available for download on both Android and iOS, the latest free releases include the much-anticipated sequel Super Meat Boy Forever and the hauntingly beautiful side-scroller Eastern Exorcist. New releases are set to hit the store every Thursday, keeping the excitement alive.

Super Meat Boy Forever needs little introduction for fans of the genre. This indie hit has revitalized the hardcore side-scrolling platformer scene. In the game, you take control of Meat Boy as he embarks on a perilous journey with Bandage Girl to rescue their child, Nugget, from the clutches of the nefarious Dr. Fetus. Be prepared for numerous attempts, as the game's challenging nature is well-noted.

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

Epic Games' decision to make their free games program a weekly event showcases their unique approach to the mobile gaming market. Recognizing the rapid pace at which mobile gamers move from one game to the next, this strategy aims to keep users engaged and returning to the Epic Games Store.

While debates may swirl around the long-term success and popularity of this approach, one thing is certain: free games are always a welcome addition. With titles like Super Meat Boy Forever, a worthy successor in a beloved series, and the visually captivating Eastern Exorcist, there's plenty to enjoy. And if these don't quite fit your taste, be sure to check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week for more options.
