"Doodle Kingdom: Medieval Now Free on Epic Games"

The Epic Games Store, a beloved initiative of Tim Sweeney, has now expanded its reach to Android globally and iOS in the EU, and with it comes a steady stream of free games. This week, gamers can grab Doodle Kingdom: Medieval at no cost, and keep it forever! If you're new to the Doodle series, it's a pioneering merge-like game that predates the genre itself. You'll find yourself combining elements to craft more complex ones, a mechanic akin to Little Alchemy but with a focus on crafting narrative-driven elements like dragons, peasants, and knights.

Doodle Kingdom: Medieval offers a variety of gameplay modes to keep you engaged. In Genesis mode, you're free to experiment and create new elements. Quest mode challenges you to complete specific quests using certain elements, while Return of the King mode lets you restore your kingdom to its former glory. Whether you're a fan of the original Doodle Kingdom or new to the series, this remastered version is a delightful revisit to the medieval realm.

My kingdom for a horse! If you're familiar with our past coverage of the original Doodle Kingdom, you'll recognize many of the elements. As a remastered version, it serves its purpose well, though it might not captivate those who've already indulged in top-tier titles like Super Meat Boy or Knights of the Old Republic. Nonetheless, the allure of a free game is undeniable, making it the perfect time to dive back into the world of Doodle Kingdom: Medieval and play god once more.
