Doodle Kingdom: Medieval Now Free on Epic Games

With the Epic Games Store now available worldwide on Android and in the EU on iOS, free games are becoming a staple feature. This week, Epic is offering Doodle Kingdom: Medieval for free, which you can claim and keep forever. If you're new to the Doodle series, this game pioneered the merge-like genre long before it was officially named. In Doodle Kingdom: Medieval, you combine elements to create more complex ones, similar to Little Alchemy, but with a focus on crafting narrative elements like dragons, peasants, and knights.

The game features multiple modes to keep you engaged. In Genesis mode, you'll experiment and create new elements. Quest mode challenges you to complete specific tasks using the elements you've created, and in Return of the King, you'll work to restore your kingdom to its past glory.

**My kingdom for a horse!** If you recall our coverage of the original Doodle Kingdom, many of these elements will feel familiar. As a revamped remaster, this game serves its purpose well, though it might not captivate those who have already enjoyed top-tier releases like Super Meat Boy or Knights of the Old Republic.

However, free games are always a great deal, making now the perfect time to dive back into the role of a creator with Doodle Kingdom: Medieval. If this game doesn't fully satisfy your gaming appetite, be sure to check out our weekly roundup of the top five new mobile games to discover the latest and greatest releases from the past week.
