Doodle Kingdom: Medieval Now Free on Epic Games

With the Epic Games Store now available on Android globally and iOS in the EU, thanks to Tim Sweeney's efforts, we're seeing more frequent free game releases. This week, the spotlight is on **Doodle Kingdom: Medieval**, available for free to claim and keep on the Epic Games Store.

For those new to the Doodle series, these games pioneered the merge genre long before it became mainstream. In **Doodle Kingdom: Medieval**, you combine basic elements to create more complex ones, akin to the gameplay of Little Alchemy but with a medieval twist. Here, your focus is on crafting narrative elements like dragons, peasants, and knights, rather than just mixing elements like fire and water.

The game offers various modes to keep you engaged. In **Genesis Mode**, you experiment freely, creating new elements. **Quest Mode** challenges you to complete specific quests using the elements you've created. Meanwhile, **Return of the King Mode** has you working to restore your kingdom to its past glory.

**My kingdom for a horse!** If you're familiar with the original Doodle Kingdom, you'll recognize many elements in this remastered version. While it may not compete with top-tier releases like Super Meat Boy or Knights of the Old Republic, the allure of a free game cannot be understated. Now might be the perfect time to dive back into the role of a creator and explore **Doodle Kingdom: Medieval**.

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