In Epic Island, players gradually build a team of heroes with unique combat and magical skillsets to go on quests to defeat scary monsters and enormous titans. Completing missions and slaying baddies will earn your heroes fame, experience points, and gold, which you can spend on forging mighty weapons and armor. The game’s story explores a lush, colorful, 3D island with diverse terrain, ranging from simple, seaside villages to ominous volcanoes and harsh tundras. Players will also be able to test their heroes’ collective strength against friends and other players from around the world in the Battle Arena. There are even adorable, yet powerful, pets to adopt as companions for the quests. Epic Island is epic.
