Many penguins died to bring word that Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator's single joke soon gets old.
Here is a sandbox like no other. Create massive battles with absolutely no limits. Want to see 10,000 chickens fight an army of Romans?? Sure, why not. Want to see a company of WW2 U.S soldiers fight 11,000 Medieval soldiers?? There are simply no limits to the carnage you can achieve in UEBS.

The gameplay of this game is described as a mixed experience, with some players enjoying the fun and chaotic nature of battles and the freedom to customize scenarios, while others find it repetitive and lacking depth. Many reviews highlight issues such as poor AI, clunky mechanics, and a lack of engaging content, leading to boredom after a short period of play. Overall, while there are moments of enjoyment, the gameplay often feels limited and unpolished, suggesting it may be better suited for casual play rather than long-term engagement.

“The level of detail and the realistic behavior of the units elevate the gameplay, making battles feel visceral and intense.”
“Great game, very free gameplay, epic battles, definitely would recommend.”
“Controlling a character during gameplay wasn't all that fun, and the survival zombie game wasn't very dynamic; it was pretty much just a test of my personal endurance, and I got bored after playing it a few times.”
“This game gets very boring very fast; the mechanics and characters get repetitive, the whole game feels clunky and poorly made with no real replayability.”
“The animations are very poor, the AI is very poor, character models are very bad, the textures suck, the unit setup is bad, not many different types of units that are cool and fun; gameplay is also poor. I mean, why can't you attack while walking?”

“The game is badly optimized and unfinished.”

“This story is why I must give this game a hearty 10/10 for its amazing story arc, well done devs.”
“For me, it's a bit more than just a game but a tool for storytelling.”

The game's replayability is highly debated among users, with some praising its potential for infinite replayability through creative setups and modding, while others criticize it for lacking content and becoming stale quickly. Many reviews highlight the need for more diverse maps and units to enhance replay value, suggesting that the current limitations significantly hinder long-term engagement. Overall, the consensus indicates that while there are opportunities for replayability, they are not fully realized without additional content and features.
“Definitely a high replay value once you begin to understand the ultimate endless possibilities within this game.”
“The replay value is pretty substantial and each fight can have a different outcome.”
“This game has infinite replayability once you add an astonishing amount of models, maps, terrains, and just a few event triggers per map.”
“There is absolutely zero replay value; it gets stale after 30 minutes of playing. It almost feels like a free-to-play game, but instead, you actually have to pay for it. The trailer made it seem cool, but the fights are stale and all end the same way.”
“Also, there is zero replayability; I ran out of things to do after only 3 hours.”
“Low replayability; once the 'wow factor' wears off, you notice there's not a whole lot more to do or see.”
