Epic, simply put is a 3D Space combat Flight Simulator with the same or similar engine to Robocop 3D. The story for epic goes like this; In the future, the Terrans solar systems Sun is dying and is turning into a Super Nova, a full scale planetary evacuation on the homeworld has been started. But once they get outside of the solar system an enemy beyond the Neutral Zone called the Rexxons are waiting, and the Terrans have violated the Netural Zone treaty. So now there is a war against eachover and you must pilot the "Epic" class ship and defeat the Rexxons and save mankind.
The graphics in Epic are good and in 3D, it has a certain feel to Wing Commander and other space type Simulation games in 3D. As said before, the engine is the same as Robocop 3D or very similar and which DID or Digital Image Design (without the abbreviation) uses again in other games they create years later after this like TFX and Inferno. The sound in Epic isn't what you would call "fantastic" but is okay, and the music is quite nice. Concluding, this is a great space flight simulator with some nice graphics, but is limited to missions and freedom as you always have to start off in career option, no arcade option here folks.
And for those of you who wanted to know, Inferno is the sequel to Epic.
