The plot, which is somewhat reminiscent of Battlestar Galactica , centers around a fleet of ships carrying the humanoid inhabitants of a planet threatened by an imminent Supernova . The escape route unfortunately leads through the Rexxon Empire's territory, which results in war. The player controls the fleet's only hope, a one-man fighter similar to Star Wars' A-Wing . Epic has ten missions (levels), which take place either in space or on the surface of a planet. The action is viewed in 3D, with graphics being a mix of uniformly coloured polygons and bitmaps. The game is somewhat similar to Wing Commander . The music is the Mars Suite from The Planets . Reviewer David Upchurch at the time gave the Amiga and ST versions a score of 839 (out of a possible 1000), praising its fast 3D graphics and sense of scale, but disliking its longevity and lack of depth.
