Uppercut Games's Unreal Engine-powered shooter Epoch now available on iPhone and iPad for a cut-price 69p/99c

Epoch is a good example of how to take a genre created for home consoles and successfully tweak the control scheme to suit the demands of a touchscreen.

While Uppercut Games's robotically powered third-person-shooter isn't flawless, its uniquely tailored controls helped to elevate Epoch above its peers in the enjoyment stakes.

And if you've never set foot on Epoch's futuristic battlefields before, its developer has just given you the perfect incentive to do so by lowering its App Store price tag to a measly 69p / 99c.

Uppercut's sci-fi shooter has also been updated since its launch last year, so newcomers will have extra items and weapons to discover - plus new enemies to blast - as they scour a post-apocalyptic landscape in search of a lost princess.

So, if you want to unleash the impressive power of the Unreal Engine on your mobile device for a mere handful of pennies, head on over to the App Store and pick up Epoch for your iPhone or iPad before the world ends.

Or, you know, the price goes back up.
