The game was designed by Robert Dougherty and Darwin Kastle with art by Kaile Dutton and Vito Gesualdi. Is it just a fitting description of my ego?Įpic Card Game is a card game (duh) in the same vein as Magic: the Gathering where you are playing cards to ultimately try to reduce your opponent’s health to zero (in the game! I’m not talking about committing a crime or anything). It made my eyes hurt.įor something to be truly called “epic,” does it need to have huge creatures ready to fight? Masterful wizards who will conjure these demons and unleash mayhem upon the land?

But the text is just too small for the phone, even zoomed. You can zoom cards, play them from the zoomed state, and all of that. There’s no other reason for it than screen real estate. Now that I’ve played it on iOS as well, it’s virtually unplayable on the iPhone (haven’t tried iPad yet, but I’m sure that’s fine since it’s bigger). The iPad does work great, as I guessed it would.Įdit: 2/18/20 – I have to add that when I wrote this review, I had only played the Steam version. It’s way too hard to read, as noted in the update below. Though having had to take one of my turns on my phone because of the timer, I have to reiterate that I hate this game on my phone right now. Overall, online multiplayer works very smooth and I do like it a lot.

Once I got used to that, it actually works pretty well. Now I realize that it’s part of the replay. It also replays some of your previous actions as well! The first time I saw this, since it had been many hours since I had taken my turn, I thought the AI had taken over for me and reported a bug. The confusing part is that the replay of turns when you go in to take your turns (though I really do appreciate having the replays!). (Though please, White Wizard Games, if you could make it 48 hours, that would be so much better). I do wish that it was a 48-hour timer like Star Realms, but this is manageable. You have a 24-hour timer (not 48-hour like somebody had told me earlier) to take your turn. To set up a game, you do need to have your opponent on your friends list, but it’s easy to send an invite after that. I am now in two online multiplayer games and while there is a bit of confusion, overall it works great asynchronously. At least I don’t hate it anymore.Įdit: 2/20/20 – Multiplayer update. It’s not too bad, though it’s still not my preferred way to play. The latest update also optimized the game for the phone a little bit more. The game is still enjoyable and now that I realize just how much old stuff is in the replay when you log in, I’m no longer confused. The latest app update has extended the timer to 48 hours! Definitely appreciate them doing that.
