Epic Snails (Early Access) – Battle for Control over the Garden as a Tank-Mounted Snail in Online Chaotic Team Battles

Game Review

 

Epic Snails is a chaotic online multiplayer game that features epic snail battles.

It’s being created by the same devs that made Club Penguin and Battle Bears.

You play as a customized snail and you’re thrown into the battlegrounds. Think Worms 3D or something like that. You need to battle for control over the backyard against enemy snails!

The game has you roaming around (slowly) as a snail with a cannon attached to it in some way. You can customize the look of your snail to have your weapons attached to your shell, body, or whatever else. it also gives you the choice to choose varying colors and such to design your custom snail.

But the customization is only a small part of the game. The battles are where the chaos begins!

You need to roam around the garden and look for enemy snails. When you find one, you fire your tank-mounted snail shell at them in hopes of a hit. Projectiles have travel time so you need to time your shots especially if you’re shooting from across the map. There’s also some degree of bullet drop as well.

But you need to know about the best part of Epic Snail first before we get into this preview…

It’s the ability to climb anything.

That’s right. You can literally climb anything you see, move anywhere in the garden, and even hang upside down like a normal snail would. It’s hard playing the game with your view inverted, but it also makes you that much more stealthy as you battle for garden control!

The game features team battles of 3v3 with the team scoring the most kills to be the conquerors of the garden. The battles are pretty hectic when you have all 6 players battling it out. You’ll have close-up fights, distant fights, and even sniper shots that come out of nowhere. The game features strategic online multiplayer gameplay that’s just nonstop action.

It’s a third-person perspective shooter with a crosshair, just to get that out of the way.

The graphics are appealing and very colorful. It looks like a cartoon with near cel-shaded graphics. Everything is humorously detailed in the environment. You’ll see some common backyard garden items like a patio table, umbrella, chairs, walls, sandboxes and more. You’ll even see some not-so-common items as well. Everything can be used to take cover behind and as a strategic advantage. And again, you can use it all to your advantage by climbing on them and hanging upside-down as well.

Epic Snail also has some community features outside of the battlegrounds. There’s a chat room where you can literally chat with other snails Habbo Hotel style. And there’s the vanity section to customize your snail’s appearance.

Overall, Epic Snail is a very addicting and fun game to play. It’s not to be taken seriously, but the online battles are just so tempting and easy to get immersed in. This game is a serious contender.
