[iPhone] - Epic Win Review

Epic Win borders between being a game and an interactive chore list. You enter the chore or "quest" you have to do, how many points it is worth and when it is due. Through completing these quests you gain experience to one of five abilities and you progress along a track that unlocks new items. It lets you choose between five different characters and as you level them up their appearance will change.


At first the idea and the funny styling of Epic Win really sucked me in. However it quickly becomes repetitive and the writers aren't as funny as they seem to think they are. The game quickly becomes a grindfest with 300 points being the maximum. It really requires something like a 1000 point allowance to pop-up at times to make the game seem fresh and keep your interest. Still the game achieves what it sets out to do and I find it quite a handy tool for repeating reminders.

For such a simple concept the game has been plagued by bugs such as a completed quest staying in the quest area.  In it's defence though it has been regularly updated and user feedback has actually been listened to. The date and quest repeating system was updated and now is quite well set up with plenty of options.

It is a useful tool and the fact that it is being updated so often gives me the confidence to say it will only get better. At AU$3.99 it isn't to badly priced, there are just a few things that let it down. 7/10
