Epiko World

На любителя.

Epiko World is a pretty ambitious multiplayer battle game, and I liked how it mixes mythological characters with futuristic combat. I play as legendary heroes and gods across colorful arenas inspired by different cultures, and the whole thing has a very energetic style. The idea sounds messy on paper, but once I got into a match, the combination of fantasy abilities and modern weapons started to make sense. The main gameplay is built around fast PvP battles, with several different match types that change how I approach each fight. I can take part in duels, team battles or larger free for all matches, while Ravager encounters add another threat to the arena. I enjoyed having different objectives because it stops the game from feeling like I am simply repeating the same type of match every time. The heroes are easily the most important part for me. Each one has unique abilities and weapons, so choosing who I play as actually changes how I approach combat. I liked experimenting with different characters and figuring out which abilities work best for my play style. Tactical companions also add another layer because I have more tools available than just the hero I control. The arenas are another strong point. The maps draw inspiration from places such as ancient Indian, Babylonian and Mayan settings while mixing them with a futuristic aesthetic. Dynamic weather and interactive terrain help make the battles feel more active, and I liked that the environments are more than just flat spaces for fighting. There is enough going on around me to make positioning important. My biggest issue is that the experience still feels like it is developing. Some of the systems are promising, but the overall amount of content does not yet feel large enough to fully support the game's ambitions. The progression and customization also feel fairly light compared with what I would expect from a game built around collecting and mastering different heroes. I wanted more reasons to keep experimenting after getting comfortable with the basic combat. The free to play structure is another mixed point for me. I like being able to jump into the game without paying for access, but the presence of in game purchases and chance based purchases makes the progression feel less focused on simply playing well. The multiplayer foundation is solid, though, and cross platform support is useful because it makes playing with other people more convenient. Overall, Epiko World is a flashy and ambitious multiplayer game with a really unusual mixture of mythology and futuristic action. I enjoyed the variety of heroes, the different match formats and the colorful arenas, while the Ravager encounters give the battles some extra unpredictability. It still needs more content and a more refined progression system, but the core combat is fun and the setting gives it a personality that helps it stand out. Rating: 6.7/10
