Epic War on Kong

If you've been looking for an excellent time waster, look no further, Epic War is a game that will enrapture you with it's fantastic gameplay and beautiful graphics. It may also remind you of Bowmaster Prelude.

The game starts out deceptively simple, you have a giant crossbow, and the ability to create hobbits to send at the enemy base. The enemy can create soldiers as well but cannot shish-kabob your units with giant arrows . Though the game starts out relatively slow for the first few levels it rapidly speeds up with the option to upgrade your crossbow with new arrows and train new units (such as elves, wizards and angels). Be wary though, the enemy can also upgrade its units and send out tank-like trolls and golems, even dragons

The great thing about this game is amount of upgrades you can buy for EXP, which is gained in-game by killing enemy units). You can upgrade arrows, max mana/regeneration/units and more. My only pet peeve in this game is that you can play battles multiple times, destroying weak opponents, and getting tons of EXP. This pretty much allows you to buy any upgrade you want, depending on how much time you want to spend replaying levels. To me this make the game a little easy, but of course, replaying levels is optional. This is the only the thing that puts a slight damper on an otherwise fantastic game.

This game does lose some points in lasting appeal though because you can only do the same thing over and over again for a few hours.

Final Remarks: Beautiful graphics and great gameplay don't make up for it being the same thing over and over again, but it'll hold your focus for the better part of a day.
