The game was soft launched on March 17 on the Australia, New Zealand and Canada App Store,[1] and was released worldwide on June 12, 2014.

The story begins with the player, playing as Red, trying to recover the stolen eggs by the Pigs.

Whenever the birds attack or take damage, a "Rage Chili" indicator fills up at the bottom of the screen.

When losing a battle a consolation prize may be given and the player is either going to return to main menu, retry, or continue onward.

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.

In December 2014, Angry Birds Epic was updated to include a multiplayer mode.

[7] 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.
