Review #1: Epic Combo!

6/10

Epic Combo is a game from armor games that is available online. This game features the player as a businessman who is paid for creating combos of flying turtle shells hitting things. Although you start with just a hammer it allows the player to build a contraption of spring platforms, mines, turrets and saw to increase their combo. The standard mode is a race to a 10,000 combo and the unlimited has no cap.

The game is fun but can be boring after you have a huge setup that you must wait for your shells to stop bouncing or end your combo early. The controls are also strange with the player swinging his hammer with spacebar and then waiting until that combo is over to swing again. The combos escalate rapidly and anyone willing to try can complete normal mode fairly easily.

Positives: original idea, many strategies, simple concept

Negatives: player input occurs at burst then long wait periods, very easy game with very little strategy.
