The Epic Games Store, spearheaded by Tim Sweeney, has now expanded its reach to Android worldwide and iOS in the EU, and with this expansion comes a delightful perk for gamers: a regular lineup of free games. This week, you can snag Doodle Kingdom: Medieval at no cost on the Epic Games Store. Once claimed, it's yours to keep!
For those new to the Doodle series, it's a pioneering merge-like game that predates the genre's popularization. In Doodle Kingdom: Medieval, players combine elements to create more complex ones, a gameplay mechanic akin to Little Alchemy, yet with a focus on crafting narrative elements such as dragons, peasantry, and knights.
The game offers diverse modes to engage players: Genesis mode is all about experimentation and element creation, Quest mode challenges you to complete specific quests using certain elements, and Return of the King mode tasks you with restoring your kingdom to its former glory.
**My kingdom for a horse!** If you recall our earlier coverage of the original Doodle Kingdom, you'll find familiar elements in this remastered version. While it may not captivate those who've experienced top-tier titles like Super Meat Boy or Knights of the Old Republic, it remains a compelling free offering.
There's no denying the allure of free games, and Doodle Kingdom: Medieval presents an excellent opportunity to dive back into the world of elemental creation and kingdom building.
