defeating a Golden Pig encountered across different levels, leveling up, or through in-app purchases.

Crafting system Whenever the character is not in battle, players could equip and craft weapons, off-hand items, and consumable items. These items are obtained by crafting them with resources and spending another in-game currency called "Snoutlings", which are often dropped by defeated pigs or treasure chests. Whenever the player crafts or brews something, their quantity (Potions), damage (Weapons), or health (off-hand items) are increased by a random number from zero to three stars. Multiplayer In December 2014, Angry Birds Epic was updated to include a multiplayer mode. The Player Arena had weekly leagues that award epic items to the top players. There were different tiers and the highest was the Diamond tier. Events The game periodically released limited time events in which the player could collect event medals or resources, which could be exchanged for rare classes, currency, and items. There were only two events which were collaborations with other mobile games. The first one, Puzzle & Dragons event at October 2014 featured characters from the game as enemies, while some of the birds were limited-time allies in the mobile game of the same name. The second one, Sonic Dash event at September 2015, featuring Sonic as a playable "bird" and enemies from Sonic series, with Dr.Eggman as the boss enemy. Three of the birds were also limited-time playable characters in the mobile game of the same name. The game used to cycle through all the events (excluding the collaboration ones). Since the game was not in development after 2018, the game finally ran out of Arena Seasons, events, and special daily rewards in the beginning of 2021. Reception The game has received generally favorable reviews with a Metacritic score of 70/100 based on 14 reviews. CNET praised the solid gameplay, but did not like the numerous in-app purchases combined with the slow delivery of in-game items, as well as the always online to play requirement.
