Angry Birds Epic
Angry Birds Epic was a 2014 free-to-play role-playing video game that is the ninth installment in the Angry Birds series, developed by Chimera Entertainment and published by Rovio Entertainment. The game was announced on March 12, 2014 and features turn-based combat and a crafting system. The game was soft launched on March 17 on the Australia, New Zealand and Canada App Store, and was released worldwide on June 12, 2014.
The game was removed from App Store and Google Play in 2019 with all other Angry Birds games released before Angry Birds Transformers.
Gameplay
Battles against the enemy pigs are turn-based. To attack, players swipe from a bird to an enemy. To use an additional skill, the player taps the bird to use it on themselves or swipes a bird into another bird to give it to the other bird. Whenever the birds attack or take damage, a "Rage Chili" indicator fills up at the bottom of the screen. When the Rage Chili is full, players can apply it to a bird to use a special ability. After winning a battle, the players can earn up to three stars, depending on their performance in that battle. More stars indicate more resources that the players receive as a reward for winning the battle.Whenever the character is not in battle, players could equip and craft weapons, off-hand items, and consumable items. These items are obtained by crafting them with resources and spending another in-game currency called "Snoutlings", which are often dropped by defeated pigs or treasure chests. Whenever the player crafts or brews something, their quantity, damage, or health are increased by a random number from zero to three stars. Potions can heal or fill up the Rage Chilli. Weapons increase attack power while off hand items can increase health or defense.
The golden Lucky Coins, which are rare, are used to buy certain classes, spin the Golden Pig Machine for items, and to buy emergency consumables in battle. They can be earned by defeating a Golden Pig encountered across different levels, leveling up, or through in-app purchases.
In December 2014, Angry Birds Epic was updated to include a multiplayer mode. The Player Arena had weekly leagues that awarded epic items to the top players.
