As we approach the weekend, it's time to dive into the latest free releases from the Epic Game Store for mobile users. Available on both Android and iOS (specifically in the EU), these games are yours to download and keep at no cost. This week, you can grab Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead and Astarion's Champions of Renown Pack.

Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead brings a unique twist to the classic bridge-building genre by integrating elements from the popular zombie series. In this game, your mission is to design bridges that not only help survivors escape but also incorporate traps to fend off pursuing Walkers. It's a blend of strategy and humor, challenging players to think creatively and act quickly in a world overrun by the undead.

On the other hand, Astarion's Champions of Renown Pack is a substantial boost for fans of Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms. This pack comes loaded with rewards, including a Flumph familiar, unlocks for your favorite champions, and an exclusive Tuxedo Kalix skin among other bonuses. While it's not a standalone game, it significantly enhances the Idle Champions experience, offering players a variety of new options and upgrades.

A Bit of Both Worlds

I must admit, I was slightly let down to see that one of the free releases was a booster pack for Idle Champions. However, I recognize its value and appeal to dedicated players. Meanwhile, Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead strikes a great balance, merging the fun of the Walking Dead universe with the engaging challenge of bridge construction amidst a zombie apocalypse.

It will be fascinating to observe the trajectory of Epic Games' strategy of offering free mobile games. Will it prove more successful in attracting mobile gamers than it did on PC? Only time will tell.
