Epic Games Battle Breakers recently made a global launch and is essentially a cross-platform gacha RPG game. It is a sci-fi dream game that takes place in a universe where technology and magic live in harmony, and allows you to build a team of unique heroes (over one hundred of them) to save your planet from the invasion of space monsters. The game is powered by Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 4, which shows off its ability to render a vibrant cartoon art style.
