"Doodle Kingdom: Medieval Now Free on Epic Games"

The Epic Games Store, spearheaded by Tim Sweeney, has now expanded its reach globally on Android and to iOS users in the EU, bringing with it a regular feature of free games. This week, users can claim and keep Doodle Kingdom: Medieval at no cost.

If you're new to the Doodle series, it's been a staple in the merge-like genre long before the term was coined. In Doodle Kingdom: Medieval, players combine elements to create more complex ones, akin to games like Little Alchemy but with a medieval twist, focusing on crafting narrative elements such as dragons, peasants, and knights.

The game offers several modes to keep players engaged. In Genesis mode, you experiment freely to create new elements. Quest mode challenges you to complete specific tasks using the elements you've created, while Return of the King mode involves restoring your kingdom to its former glory.

My kingdom for a horse! For those familiar with the original Doodle Kingdom, this revamped remaster brings back many elements you might recognize. While it might not compete with top-tier releases like Super Meat Boy or Knights of the Old Republic, the allure of a free game is undeniable, making now the perfect time to dive back into the world of Doodle Kingdom: Medieval and play god once more.

If Doodle Kingdom: Medieval doesn't fully capture your interest, our weekly feature on the top five new mobile games is always available to help you discover the best new releases from the past week.
