The Epic Games Store—what a place. Mainly known for its exclusive game offerings, it keeps us coming back with its rotating selection of free games. Even if the mobile app feels a bit chaotic, it compensates by offering free games on your phone. Right now, until March 20th, you can grab mobile versions of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and its 2004 sequel without spending a penny. To get these iconic titles, you just need an Epic Games Store account and the app on your iOS or Android device.
Set some 4,000 years before the iconic events of A New Hope, the KOTOR series offers one of the most captivating Star Wars stories, crafted during the post-prequel era. These games are hailed as classics within the CRPG genre, having laid the foundation for the morality and companion systems that became key features in the Mass Effect series.
It’s been a while since KOTOR 1 & 2 landed on mobile back in 2013, yet it still amazes me how these games, which initially required swapping between four CDs on a desktop, can now be swiftly downloaded from the web and played on the same device I use to order my favorite Mexican food.
