The Epic Games Store holds a certain charm—initially drawing you in with exclusive titles but making you stick around for the irresistible freebies. The mobile app, much like its desktop counterpart, may feel a bit clunky, yet it offers a rotating selection of free games that make it worth a look. For those intrigued, up until March 20th, you can snag the mobile versions of “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic” along with its 2004 sequel at no cost. Just have your Epic Games Store account handy and the app downloaded on your iOS or Android device, and you’re good to go.
Set about 4,000 years before “A New Hope,” the Knights of the Old Republic saga stands out as a captivating storyline within the Star Wars universe, particularly in the era following the prequels. These games are hailed as classics in the CRPG genre, known for pioneering morality and companion systems that later influenced favorites like the Mass Effect series.
Even though KOTOR 1 and 2 first made their debut on mobile devices back in 2013, it still blows my mind. I mean, these were games I once had to juggle using four—yes, four—CDs to play on my desktop. Now, you can effortlessly pull them from the digital realm for free and play them on the same smartphone you use to order takeout. It’s wild how far we’ve come.
