Epic Games offers free Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead and Idle Champions loot

As we approach the weekend, it's time to dive into the latest free releases from the Epic Game Store, now available for mobile users on Android and iOS (specifically in the EU). These games are yours to download and keep, and this week's highlights are Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead and Astarion's Champions of Renown Pack for Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms.

Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead combines the thrill of bridge-building with the survival horror of the zombie apocalypse. In this game, you'll use your architectural skills to help survivors escape by constructing bridges, while also setting up traps to fend off the relentless Walkers. It's a humorous yet challenging twist on the classic format, offering a unique gaming experience.

On the other hand, Astarion's Champions of Renown Pack for Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms is packed with rewards. From a Flumph familiar to unlocks for your favorite champions, and an exclusive Tuxedo Kalix skin, this pack provides a significant boost to your gameplay. While it's not a standalone game, the value it adds to Idle Champions is undeniable.

While I was initially a bit disappointed to see a booster pack among the free releases, I recognize its appeal to fans of Idle Champions. Meanwhile, Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead brings a fresh and engaging challenge to the table, blending fun with the intensity of a zombie-infested world.

It will be fascinating to observe how Epic Games' strategy of offering free mobile releases unfolds. Will it capture the mobile gaming audience where it struggled on PC? Only time will tell.
