Epic Games Offers Loop Hero and Chuchel for Free This Week

For those who may not be aware, the Epic Games Store for mobile mirrors its PC counterpart by offering free games for a limited time. The mobile version ups the ante by providing two free games weekly, rather than monthly. As we approach the end of April, you can now claim two fantastic titles at no cost: Loop Hero and Chuchel. Regular readers of Pocket Gamer will recognize Loop Hero as a standout favorite, with Jack's review praising its engaging roguelike gameplay. If you only try one game from this duo, make sure it's Loop Hero.

But what about Chuchel? This surreal animated adventure follows the titular character, Chuchel, on a quest to retrieve his stolen cherry. Along the way, Chuchel and his rival Kekel find themselves in a series of hilarious and bizarre situations that you'll need to navigate or simply enjoy watching unfold.

When our App Army reviewed Chuchel upon its release, they found it a bit confusing but ultimately a fun experience. Even if it's not your usual genre, you can't beat the price of free. On the other hand, Loop Hero is highly recommended for its challenging gameplay and stunning pixel art visuals.

The Epic Games Store for mobile brings many of the same benefits as its PC version, including these free releases and access to popular titles like Fortnite, which are otherwise unavailable on mobile devices.
