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, and with it comes a new free game for users to claim and keep: Doodle Kingdom: Medieval. This week's free offering is a must-grab for fans of the Doodle series, a genre-defining merge-like game that predates the term itself.

In Doodle Kingdom: Medieval, players engage in the art of combining elements to create more complex ones, a gameplay mechanic that feels like a precursor to games like Little Alchemy. However, the focus here is more on crafting narrative elements such as dragons, peasants, and knights, rather than simply mixing basic elements like fire and water.

The game offers a variety of modes to keep players engaged. In Genesis mode, you're free to experiment and create new elements at your leisure. Quest mode challenges you to complete specific tasks using the elements you've created, while Return of the King mode involves restoring your kingdom to its former glory.

**My kingdom for a horse!** If you're familiar with the original Doodle Kingdom, you'll find many elements in this revamped remaster to be reminiscent of the classic. While it may not capture the attention of those who prefer more high-profile titles like Super Meat Boy or Knights of the Old Republic, the allure of a free game is undeniable. Now might be the perfect time to dive back into the world of Doodle Kingdom: Medieval and play god once more.
