If you're a fan of cover-based shooting games, you'll want to check out the iOS game EPOCH by Uppercut Games.
In EPOCH, you play a robot in a gorgeous 3D post-apocalyptic world. You have only one goal in mind, which is to save the princess. To do so, you'll battle your way through ten different levels against enemy robots.
Each level consists of three battles, one after another. When you clear one area, you move on to the next. In each area, you have three positions that you can switch between. In order to move from one position to another, you swipe the screen left or right. There is also a super move that will make your robot jump back and forth between the two outer positions. This jump is crucial against certain enemies like the Slicer, so you'll want to get used to using it. You take cover behind an object by swiping down, and swipe up to attack. You need to select a target in order for your robot to shoot. In addition to your main gun, you have a counter weapon, missiles, and even a booster that can accelerate your robot or even heal him.
The enemy robots include Grenadiers, Slicers, and Blasters, who each have their own special attack. In order avoid getting destroyed by them, you'll have to keep your eyes and ears open and your fingers moving fast.
EPOCH is a fast-paced game that is easy to learn, but takes some practice to master. Luckily, you can replay each level to earn more credits and buy better fear if you're having trouble progressing. But ultimately, your skill will enable you to survive.
EPOCH doesn't only shine for its gameplay. It was designed with the Unreal Engine, which was used to make the award-winning Infinity Blade. If you were looking for a futuristic robot version of Infinity Blade, this comes pretty close. It is on-rails, so you can't walk around and explore. Most of the scenery is shown through cutscenes. But while you're playing, you get to experience satisfying explosions and impressive backflips. Everything is simply breathtaking. I never imagined a post-apocalyptic world could be so inviting.
EPOCH is an all-around superb game with highly-addictive gameplay and gorgeous graphics. It is fairly short, but comes with three difficulty levels for those who breeze through Easy kode too quickly. I would definitely recommend the game to anyone who likes fast-paced shooters and stunning 3D graphics. It's a game you may have trouble putting down.
