• Loop Hero and Chuchel are Epic's free games of the week
• Download and claim them now, totally free
• Loop Hero is an engaging roguelike while Chuchel is a whimsical animated adventure

For those not in the know, it may surprise you to learn that the Epic Games Store on mobile mirrors its PC counterpart by offering free games for a limited time. Even better, on mobile it’s not just one game per month—it’s two games, every single week.

This week, in the final stretch of April, Epic is giving away two standout titles: Loop Hero and Chuchel. If you're a regular reader, Loop Hero might already be on your radar—it’s a firm favorite here at Pocket Gamer, earning high praise in Jack’s enthusiastic review. As a uniquely engaging roguelike, it blends strategic deck-building with automated combat and ever-evolving terrain, making it the kind of game you can easily lose hours to. If you only pick one from this pair, make it Loop Hero.

But what about Chuchel? This delightfully bizarre animated adventure follows the misadventures of the eponymous Chuchel, who’s on a mission to reclaim his beloved stolen cherry. Along the way, he clashes with his rival Kekel in a series of absurd, slapstick-filled scenarios. The gameplay alternates between interactive puzzles and cinematic sequences, creating a rhythm that’s as unpredictable as it is entertaining.

Free-for-all
When our App Army reviewed Chuchel at launch, they found it confusing at times—but undeniably fun. Its quirky humor and expressive animation make it a memorable experience, even if it’s not your typical playstyle. And let’s be honest: when the price is free, there’s zero reason not to give it a try. Meanwhile, Loop Hero earns its recommendation with a perfect blend of strategic depth and lush pixel art that brings its world vividly to life.

The Epic Games Store on mobile delivers many of the same benefits as its PC version, including these weekly freebies and access to exclusive titles like Fortnite—games that are otherwise tough to get on mobile devices.
