Epifrog - The Spawning Of A New Hero

Epifrog would feel a bit flat if it wasn’t epic. Thankfully it is: it’s in the name. Out from August on PC, this 2.5D survival game finally retires that overrated Muppet, Kermit.

• The Best Of Two Worlds In Shin Chan: Shiro And The Coal Town
• Blood Hunting Is Dark And Dangerous, This Summer On PS5
• Age of Defense Review: This Takes Ages

So what’s the deal? The Mud God has gone nuts and unleashed a plague of giant werewolves and poisonous spiders on your frog village, so you must use your magic, as Epifrog, to protect the magic pond of tadpoles.

It sounds a little lame just from these words, but this upcoming title from Adria Games looks amusing, and the visuals are really nice – like an animated picturebook. Of frogs.

I’m not entirely sure if this is real-time battling or turn-based, as you have the options to fortify your bases, upgrade and even command a defensive team. There’s not long to wait, though, and no doubt more info will be fed through soon.

Here’s a trailer:

Epifrog is scheduled to release on Steam on the 31st August 2021, so add to your wishlist for future updates.
