Plot
The storyline begins with the player, playing as Red, trying to recover the stolen eggs by the Pigs. As the player progresses, new birds from the Angry Birds universe are added to the roster, including Chuck, Matilda, Bomb and the Blues (Jay, Jim and Jake).[3] Players are limited to choosing three birds from their roster - and sometimes fewer - in the various battles against the pigs.
Angry Birds Epic is set on Piggy Island, with its characters residing in the existing Angry Birds universe. Pigs and the birds take on various roles in the game's cutscenes.
Gameplay
Before every level, players can choose up to three (or four) birds (one extra from their Facebook friends in some levels) in their party, depending on the level. In the battle, enemies, mostly pigs, appear on a landscape. Battles may be normal, may involve multiple waves of enemies, or boss fights. To attack, players swipe from a bird to an enemy. To use a secondary skill (mostly defense types), the player taps the bird to use it on themselves or swipes a bird into another bird to give it to the other bird. Whenever the birds attack or take damage, a "Rage Chili" indicator fills up at the bottom of the screen. When full, players can apply it to a bird to use their "rage" ability.
When losing a battle a consolation prize may be given and the player is either going to return to main menu, retry, or continue onward. After winning a battle, the players can earn up to three stars, depending on their performance in that battle. More stars indicate more resources that the players receive as a reward for winning the battle.
The golden Lucky Coins, which are rare, are used to buy certain classes, spin the Golden Pig Machine for items, and to buy emergency consumables in battle. They can be earned by defeating a Golden Pig encountered across different levels, leveling up, or through in-app purchases. The gameplay data can be backed up using a Rovio account, which is now discontinued for registration. As of May 2018[update],[4] only existing accounts can back up their gameplay data.
Crafting system
Whenever the character is not in battle, players could equip and craft weapons, off-hand items, and consumable items. These items are obtained by crafting them with resources and spending another in-game currency called "Snoutlings", which are often dropped by defeated pigs or treasure chests. Whenever the player crafts or brews something, their quantity (Potions), damage (Weapons), or health (off-hand items) are increased by a random number from zero to three stars.
Multiplayer
In December 2014, Angry Birds Epic was updated to include a
Events
The game periodically released limited time events in which the player could collect event medals or resources, which could be exchanged for rare classes, currency, and items. There were only two events which were collaborations with other mobile games. The first one,
