Angry Birds Epic: Uprising is an RPG created by UUnlockedMario, and a pseudo-sequel to Angry Birds Epic. It is loosely based on LuigiFan00001's Angry Birds Bosses series. It was rated E10+ for Cartoon Violence, Comic Mischief, Mild Suggestive Themes, and Mild Language. It is also the last game chronologically in UUM's continuity.
Gameplay
The gameplay of Angry Birds Epic: Uprising is drastically different than the original game, and is similar to more conventional RPGs. The overworld and battle systems, and the gameplay overall are akin to the Mario & Luigi series. The player controls Red on the overworld. The player battles enemies by running into them on the overworld; see below for more information on battles. Throughout the game, the player encounters slingshots, which act as a means of fast-travel. Each town is guaranteed to have these two facilities; a shop where the player can buy and sell items, and an inn where Red and his allies can sleep to restore their HP & FP. Throughout the game, the player encounters Save Crabs, which act as both a means of saving progress, and a bank for the player to deposit and withdraw Snoutlings. In each town, there is a board where Red and his allies can perform optional missions. There are also collectible items called Lucky Coins, which act like Star Pieces from the original Paper Mario and its sequel, and Crystal Berries from Bug Fables.
Story
Prologue
The birds are seen taking care of their eggs. Out of nowhere, a chained cage drops from the sky and captures the eggs. More cages fall and trap everyone except Red. The cages' chains are revealed to be supported by an airship. The chains are then lifted and the airship flies off. Red follows it.
The airships lands by King Pig's castle. Out come the airship are the pigs, who are taking the caged birds into the castle. Red rushes through Pig City and heads towards the castle. Right before entering, he is greeted by a "mystical force" who tells him about RPG battles. Red enters the castle and fights a few Minion Pigs. Making it further into the castle, Red finally confronts King Pig and battles him. Upon being defeated, King Pig reveals that the birds are in the dungeon. He gives Red the key which unlocks their cells.

Chef Cochon appears to be performing a ritual in order to revive a powerful being. The Eternal Stars being to react, and the being is successfully revived, and says that it's good to finally be back. Chef Cochon introduces himself to the being, who introduces himself as Lord Sinensis, and reveals that he was sealed to another realm 1000 years ago.

Supporting cast
Battle system
Red fights three of his five partners at a time; they can be switched out of battle. The characters have stats that grow as they level up:
- Hit Points show the amount of damage a party member can take. When it reaches 0, the character is knocked out and unable to fight unless revived. Having the entire party knocked out ends the game and the player automatically restarts from their last save.
- Feather Points are used for special moves.
- Attack is the physical strength of a character. Combined with the character's weapon, it adds up to a final value that affects how much damage they deal to an opponent with physical attacks.
- Defense, combined with the character's armor, reduces the amount of damage a character receives from an enemy's normal physical attack.
- Magic Attack affects the strength of a character's special skill.
- Magic Defense is similar to defense, but only protects against enemies' special skills, not regular attacks.
- Speed affects what order the character fights. Characters with a high speed move before any other allies or enemies.
- Luck affects the likeliness of a character landing a critical hit, doubling the damage of their attacks.
When a character gains a certain amount of experience points, they level up, gaining anywhere from 1-5 points in each stat. The player can also choose any of the stats they want to give bonus points to. The highest level is 50. When a character reaches a certain level, they learn a new special move. If a character reaches a certain level, they rank up, and receive special benefits. The ranks are as follows:
Rank | Level | Benefit |
---|---|---|
Vanilla | 1-7 | |
Glass | 8-14 | |
Wood | 15-21 | |
Stone | 22-28 | |
Bronze | 29-35 | |
Silver | 36-42 | |
Gold | 43-49 | |
Cosmic | 50 |
Battles begin by moving into an enemy on a main game map. Red and his allies appear on the left side of the screen, while enemies appear on the right. Enemies yield an amount of exp. and Snoutlings when defeated, and have a chance of dropping items when defeated. In battle, characters have four options:
- Attack: The character performs a basic attack with the weapon they have equipped.
- Item: The character uses an item on themselves, an ally, or an enemy.
- Special: The character uses a special move, which costs FP.
- Other: The character can do the following;
- Defend, guaranteeing they take less damage if they are hit.
- Run Away, which is not even possible in certain situations.
- Tattle, where they reveal an enemy's stats. All future encounters of the specific enemy will show their HP.
- Turn Relay, where they forfeit their turn and pass it on to another party member, giving them two turns.
Side quests
During their adventure, Red and his friends are free to visit many optional places in the game.
