For the longest time I couldn’t remember the name of this game. I played 1 and 2 on the first gen iPad mini and loved them. Finally I can play again.

Epoch 1 is fun. No problems here. Though bit short… quality game GG. I like the graphics, action packed. Prophetic, why didn’t apple recommend this? Deserves an award 🏆. I beat it on hard already. Now going Ultra. This game is very challenging and adredaline pumping hand eye coordination insane.
