epsilon wars is a turn based artillery game set in space. players must use the newtonian gravity of suns, planets, and blackholes to guide their torpedoes at enemy ships, space stations, and freighters. challenge yourself in designed single player levels (including ng+), procedurally generated single player levels, and multiplayer (2-4 players).
players set their torpedo angle, power, and fire to see how gravity affects their shot. subsequent turns can be used to adjust power and angle to destroy opponents.
power is not unlimited, and each time players fire the power used is deducted from their ship's reserve. at the end of each turn 25 power points are re-generated. players may pass on their turn to build up more power.
to help gauge the angle and power of each torpedo players can use their sensors to visualize the gravity of each level. there's even an optional gravity assist system to help players learn how newtonian gravity affects potential shots.
