Epic Showdown Demo

Epic Showdown is an indie game that might just make it out alive and triumphant if it keeps up with the good ideas. There is a lot of work that needs to go into it but right now, it’s quite decent.

Epic Showdown features a rather nice and original plot. It seems that an unknown alien with tons of resources and power got bored of his planet's reality TV and decided to make his own brand of it. He grabs fighters from distant corners of the universe and throws them into arenas that are infested with hostile creatures. Your goal: survive and stop the alien invasion.

What you have to do, besides mowing down swarms of enemies is to use their life energy to overload a number of portals. On your side, you have plenty of weapons and enough ammo to blast anything away. All of that should make for nice entertainment for the alien TV addict.

At the time of writing this, Epic Showdown is in its early stages of life, or so it would seem. The gameplay mainly consists of shooting, planting a few bombs, calling an air strike, and collecting the energy needed to overload the portals. In short, it’s kind of basic but not tedious.

The demo offers only one character, Mrs. Groundfire, a cute little granny who’s, in fact, a former commando. When complete, Epic Showdown is said to have other protagonists, such as a mobster monkey, a medieval warrior pig, and a necromancer, along with several arenas and game modes. The cast sounds like a winning selection. Check them out in the game trailer.

For an indie game, Epic Showdown does well for itself. It has a long way to success but the core idea is rock solid, and the gameplay could be great with some improvement and extra features, and a bit more light.
