About Epicinium

Epicinium is a strategy game where nature is a finite resource. Is it worth winning a war when you end up conquering nothing but dirt and ash?
  • Multiplayer battles with up to 8 players in free-for-all
  • Versus-AI skirmish matches, featuring several AIs with different strategies
  • Ranked and unranked matchmaking modes
  • An easy-to-use map editor

Epicinium is handcrafted to bring you a fresh strategic experience:
  • Well-balanced selection of buildings and units to produce, each with their carefully crafted part to play
  • Global warming system, inducing a multitude of different weather effects adding to gameplay depth and variety
  • A variety of maps, each with their own character, layout and intended playstyle

Thanks to fast, simultaneous turns, you don't waste time waiting for your move. Your economy and troops are influenced by the environment and increasingly severe weather effects. Players balance firepower and preservation of resources, as the victor is scored for how much nature remains when the dust settles.

✦ AI summary

Epicinium is praised as a clever, original turn-based strategy game with unique environmental mechanics that force players to constantly adapt their tactics as the climate changes, keeping experienced players engaged long-term. However, the game is hampered by significant technical issues including the lack of a save feature, online connection requirements that cause crashes, and a steep learning curve to understand all the interconnected systems, making it frustrating for players seeking a more straightforward experience.

Игра "Epicinium" - это глоток свежего воздуха в жанре пошаговых стратегий. Подкупает оригинальная механика влияния экологической обстановки на игровой процесс. Климат постоянно меняется, и то, что приносило победу вчера, сегодня может обернуться катастрофой. Это заставляет тщательно продумывать каждый ход и быть максимально адаптивным. Графика, хоть и минималистичная, вполне функциональна и не отвлекает от стратегических решений. Звуковое сопровождение создает приятную атмосферу, хотя и не является чем-то выдающимся. Основная сложность кроется в освоении всех нюансов игрового мира и в понимании взаимосвязей между вашими действиями и окружающей средой. Но как только вы разберетесь, игра затягивает всерьез и надолго, предоставляя огромное количество возможностей для экспериментов и тактических ухищрений. Рекомендую всем любителям вдумчивых стратегий, которые не боятся трудностей и готовы к нестандартным решениям.

YOU CAN'T SAVE, AND IT CRASHES IF YOU LOSE CONNECTION TO ONLINE. why. Why do that. All I want is a simple game, this one seems good enough, although a little long and tedious and this is the flaw to kill it!?!
