Critical reception of "Epic" was mixed. A number of magazines scored the game highly including the review scores of 92% for the PC version from "Mega Zone", 91% from "CU Amiga" and "Amiga User International", and 90% from "Amiga Action". "ACE", for instance, gave the Amiga and ST versions a score of 839 (out of a possible 1000), praising its fast 3D graphics and sense of scale, but disliking its longevity and lack of depth. In "ST Format", the game received a score of 91% and was described as "the best blaster that the ST has seen in some time".
