"Doodle Kingdom: Medieval Now Free on Epic Games"

The Epic Games Store continues to expand its reach, now available on Android worldwide and iOS in the EU, thanks to Tim Sweeney's vision. This week, they're offering Doodle Kingdom: Medieval as their free game, available for users to claim and keep. If you're a fan of the Doodle series, this should be right up your alley; it's a merge-like game that predates the term itself. In Doodle Kingdom: Medieval, you'll combine elements to create more complex ones, much like the precursor to Little Alchemy, but with a medieval twist focusing on crafting narrative elements such as dragons, peasants, and knights.

The game offers multiple modes to keep you engaged. The Genesis mode is all about experimenting and creating new elements. In Quest mode, you'll tackle quests using specific elements, while Return of the King challenges you to restore your kingdom to its former glory. The game's promotional image, featuring a wizard waving his wand at a dragon, encapsulates the medieval fantasy vibe that players can expect.

My kingdom for a horse! This phrase might ring a bell if you recall our earlier coverage of the original Doodle Kingdom. As a remastered version, Doodle Kingdom: Medieval aims to refresh the experience, though it might not capture those who have already delved into high-caliber titles like Super Meat Boy or Knights of the Old Republic.

Nonetheless, the allure of free games cannot be overstated. Now might be the perfect time to don the mantle of a deity once again and dive into the world of Doodle Kingdom: Medieval. If, however, this game doesn't quite satisfy your gaming appetite, don't forget to check out our weekly feature on the top five new mobile games to try.
