Rovio has announced that their latest Angry Birds game, Angry Birds Epic, is launching today on multiple platforms. The company is rolling the game out globally today, and it should be available in the various app stores shortly.
Angry Birds Epic is the company’s first role-playing game to feature Angry Birds, and in the game, you get to explore a fantasy version of Piggy Island, which comes with tropical beaches, mountains, and mysterious caves. This new installment in the Angry Birds franchise takes a significant departure from the traditional slingshot mechanics that fans have come to love, introducing a turn-based combat system that adds depth and strategy to the gameplay.
Gameplay and Features
In Angry Birds Epic, players will find themselves immersed in a rich storyline where they must assemble a team of birds, each with unique abilities and roles. The game features a variety of character classes, such as knights, mages, and healers, allowing for diverse strategies and team compositions. As you progress through the game, you will encounter a wide range of enemies, each requiring different tactics to defeat.
The game also includes an extensive crafting system, where players can create and upgrade weapons, armor, and potions using resources collected throughout their journey. This adds an additional layer of customization and strategy, as players must decide how to best allocate their resources to strengthen their team.
“The Angry Birds characters are a perfect fit for a role-playing game because they have strong personalities and individual superpowers. They are almost like character classes from the get-go,” said Jami Laes, Executive Vice President of Games, Rovio Entertainment. “Angry Birds Epic isn’t straight-up fantasy, but we have kept that weird and surprising Rovio humor in there. Get ready to head into battle with some pretty wacky equipment and powers under your belt!”
Platform Availability and Community Engagement
This new Angry Birds game is launching on multiple platforms, which include Apple’s iOS devices, Google’s Android devices, Windows Phone devices, and also Amazon devices. This wide availability ensures that fans of the series can enjoy the game regardless of their preferred device. Rovio has also integrated social features into the game, allowing players to connect with friends, share their progress, and even compete in special events and challenges.
The game’s launch is accompanied by a robust marketing campaign, including trailers, social media promotions, and community events.
