Plot

The game is the sequel to the game Epic and continues the storyline started by its predecessor. It charts the further adventures of that game's main character as he seeks revenge on the evil Raxxons, an alien race who genetically altered him to become one of their own.

Reception

Dragon reviewers gave the game 2½ and 3½ out of 5 stars.[1]

In 1996, Computer Gaming World ranked it as the 44th worst game of all time, stating "Bad storyline, guttural voice acting, and way too many dull cinematics in a limp space shooter."[2]
