Epoch

Epoch is a post-apocalyptic robot combat game starring EPOCH, a guardian robot trying to fulfill its primary function in a world devastated by war. You fight other robots while following EPOCH’s search for the person he was assigned to protect and uncovering what happened when the old world ended.

Story and world

Only robots remain to fight a never-ending war across a ravaged world. In the single-player Campaign, you battle through multiple locations in a vast, ruined city and collect fragments of the past. Logs from a cast of characters, each with their own perspective on the events that destroyed a once-proud civilization, help piece together what happened.

Combat and upgrades

You take cover, select targets, dodge incoming fire, and use special abilities and countermeasures. EPOCH can dodge, crouch and leap, fire bullets and missiles, launch countermeasures, and activate boosters. As waves of robots grow more challenging, you can salvage parts from fallen enemies and configure your robot with dozens of weapons, armors, boosters and counters.

Game modes

The multi-level Campaign develops your combat skills across the city. In Arena mode, you face an endless horde of robots and can challenge friends to compete for the top score.

PC features

The PC version includes Steam leaderboards and achievements, mouse and keyboard controls with keybinding, and controller support. Its graphics use Unreal Engine 3, with dynamic lighting and atmospherics, bloom, depth of field, motion blur, recreated surface shaders, overhauled visual effects including physics particles, and destroyable cover. Graphics settings include fullscreen, widescreen, and native and multi-resolution support.
