"Doodle Kingdom: Medieval Now Free on Epic Games"

The Epic Games Store has rolled out another gem for its users, and this time it's Doodle Kingdom: Medieval that you can grab and keep for free. As Tim Sweeney's brainchild expands its reach to Android globally and iOS in the EU, the tradition of offering free games seems set to continue, much to the delight of gamers everywhere.

If you're new to the Doodle series, let me fill you in. These games pioneered the merge-like genre long before it became a buzzword. In Doodle Kingdom: Medieval, you'll be combining elements to craft more intricate ones, reminiscent of Little Alchemy but with a twist towards building a medieval narrative. Think dragons, peasants, and knights instead of just mixing fire and water.

This title isn't just about merging; it offers a variety of gameplay modes. In Genesis mode, you're free to experiment and create new elements to your heart's content. Quest mode challenges you to complete specific tasks using the elements you've crafted, while Return of the King mode has you working to restore your kingdom to its former glory.

My kingdom for a horse! If you're a fan of the original Doodle Kingdom, this remastered version will feel like coming home. While it may not have the same pull as top-tier releases like Super Meat Boy or Knights of the Old Republic, the allure of a free game is undeniable. It's the perfect opportunity to once again play god and delve into the world of Doodle Kingdom: Medieval.

If Doodle Kingdom: Medieval doesn't quite satisfy your gaming appetite, don't worry. Our weekly roundup of the top five new mobile games is always here to guide you to the latest and greatest releases, ensuring you never miss out on the hottest launches of the past week.
