Epic 1.3.0

Epic is a captivating 3D city building game that serves as the official game of the animated fantasy movie of the same name. In this game, you are tasked with nurturing and protecting the woodland home of the Jinn, a magical creature.

Similar to popular city building games like The Simpsons: Tapped Out and Ice Age Village, Epic allows you to create your own version of the Jinn kingdom. You can plant special trees, construct lodges, and build training grounds and academies for your woodland villagers.

The core concept of Epic revolves around planting seed-producing flowers and transforming the seeds into nectar by utilizing nectar springs. These seeds and nectar serve as the game currency, enabling you to purchase new objects for your woodland village.

Building and constructing in Epic requires time, but you can expedite the process by spending Aura, which can be acquired or purchased in-app. While it is possible to progress in the game without spending real money, it may require a significant amount of waiting.

Epic also incorporates a military aspect, which adds depth and variety to the gameplay. You are responsible for training and equipping an army of leafmen to fight against the insurging Boggans. Engage in battles against the Boggans, strategically deploying your leafmen to crush your opponents. The game even offers a multiplayer battle mode, allowing you to compete against other players.

Aside from the battle element, Epic includes various additional features that enhance the overall experience. For instance, you can construct a theater where you can watch video content based on the Epic movie.

While Epic may be a bit confusing for players unfamiliar with this genre of games, the on-screen hints and tips provided in the early stages of the game help guide you through the mechanics of production, harvesting, building, and battling. Paying attention to the Tasks menu bar on the left side of the screen is also beneficial, as it provides guidance on current objectives.

Visually, the official Epic game effectively utilizes assets from the movie, creating a beautiful landscape that immerses players in a lush fantasy world. The ability to zoom in and out of the world allows for detailed exploration of your village. However, when zoomed in, the sprites may appear slightly rough, especially on larger screen devices, and the character animations can be jerky with poor collision detection.

In conclusion, Epic is an enjoyable city construction game with an added battle mode that adds an interesting dimension to the gameplay. If you are a fan of strategy games and don't mind occasional waiting periods for leveling up and upgrading, Epic will provide an entertaining experience.
