Pretty, but far too short – EPOCH. Review

When you play this game for the first time, all difficulties besides "Easy" are locked. On "Easy," almost every level in this game is a cakewalk, with the exception of the actually-somewhat-challenging final boss. Then, when you beat the game, all the other difficulties are unlocked. Now, you can play the exact same levels you just breezed through, except presumably harder. I say "presumably," because after a d*** move like that, I'm not touching this again. The sad part is that there are still a lot of collectible in-game logs to find on higher difficulties, and they're actually entertaining to read. But they're not worth playing the game itself. In retrospect, maybe the developers should have asked themselves whether, out of all the game mechanics the App Store sorely lacks, "cover shooting" was the one that desperately needed to be adapted.
