Epic Battle Fantasy 5: RPG 12+

One of the best RPGs

I have been a fan of this series ever since finding the 3rd installment back when it was new on kongregate. Each new game continued to impress me, and this one is no different. I have over 140 hours on the steam version of this game, and can say it is easily one of my favorite RPGs I’ve ever played. The combat system is truly refreshing, offering many different strategies that are all viable. The characters interact in fun ways that make the party feel more alive and dynamic. Plus, there is so much content to this game. For free, you easily have dozens of hours of content, with the option to purchase extra content that adds on dozens of more hours. Also, for those that like a more challenging experience, there are tons of difficulty options and very satisfyingly difficult bosses, especially in the extra dungeons and beyond. Overall, a terrific game with a passionate developer.

Love. This. Game.

I may not have that much gameplay time on the IOS version, but I played EBF 3 and 4 a bunch; and I have at least 20 hours in the desktop version. I positively love the series, references, silliness, music, and the developers. This would always earn a five star from me. Only thing I’m wondering is an issue with the sound.

There is this odd audio skipping, I don’t know what else to call it, that happens with the music. There’s occasional moments where it really does just sound like a skipping record with brief bursts of static in those skips. It’s happened to me on all forms of audio, and I have to wonder is it because of my phone model? I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max; so I’m sure it’s possible that the issue is related to that. Otherwise, I’m clueless. Still love the game though! Just wish the audio wasn’t skipping on the music; because I’ve always loved the EBF music.

Developer Response ,

This happens on my iPhone 11 too - this must be an issue with the engine on iOS, as it doesn't happen on other platforms. I will probably need to ask the developers of Flash/AIR to figure it out. Sorry about that.

ITS FINALLY HERE

Glad to see so many others have bumped this to an instant 5. EBF as a series caries with it the legacy of Flash Games on the internet, the original Indie scene. It is the culmination of many years of one man’s testing and playing with RPG designs. It’s fun, funny and most importantly, free. You will be getting a full 50 hour (depending on how long you spend messing around with item load outs) game for free. And if you pay for the full version, new weapons items and optional dungeons will be opened up. And this isn’t some run of the mill RPG maker game with static assets either, it’s lovingly animated, everything is always moving making the world feel quite alive. The fact that all of this is packed into less than a gigabyte is proof of Matt’s mad skills. Grab this game as a time waster, you will not be disappointed.
