Epic Space app review: head into deep space

Reviews

Introduction

How would you like to take part in a battle deep in space? If this sounds fun then the Epic Space app will give you what you're looking for. This game can be played on your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone as you and your co-pilot head out into space to fight the enemies. You'll need to attack a space station, which is no small undertaking. The app supports the Leaderboards so you’ll be able to see just how good of a fighter you really are.

Fast-Paced Action

This game is all about fast-paced space action as you and you co-pilot navigate your way through the enemies. The space station that you need to attack is actually protected by drones and turrets whose only job is to stop you. The game is an arcade-style, which is always a popular style with players. As mentioned it supports the Leaderboards and if you can crack the top 100 you'll even get a Beta Key for free. Now did we mention this is an online game? This factor alone creates challenge and excitement. You will need to be in full control of your spacecraft while your gunner is taking out all the obstacles in your way.

There were some links in this app that weren't working, which has now been fixed. As well you can just shake your device in order to clear the local cache: it's simple and quick. The app has 4.5 out of five stars from customers who like it as a casual game and for longer periods of time when you've got it.

Enter a Space Battle

Launch this app to be thrown right into the middle of an epic space battle. You are instantly in the battle there is no tutorial or instructions given. Luckily the game is pretty easy to understand. What I don’t like is that it isn’t very responsive. I find that as I touch the screen to maneuver my space ship it is very slow to respond, which obviously impacts how well you are doing. The sound effects are dull and really don’t add much to the game. It seems I am less enthused about this offering than many of the users who have left a rating for it.

I will say the graphics are really fun as they are arcade style so it’s got that retro feel about it. I just wish there was more: maybe more action, better sounds, more obstacles, just something.
