The EBF series is one that's near and dear to my heart, as I grew up playing 3 and 4 when I was a kid EBF5 is their most expanded, well polished, incredibly balanced and content dense of all of them, and that alone is a feat in it of itself For anyone unfamiliar with the series, EBF5 although its humble origins as a flash game is the best ever RPG someone could think of as of traditional RPGs in the current day and age; if you're a fan of turn based, classical RPGs, this one is the apex of them all, as besides not being dated as most are nowadadys either visually or mechanically, it is throughout an amazing experience and even enjoyable to 100%. The game I would compare it best to would be Octopath traveller, and where it shines in its incredible storywriting and artistic detail, EBF5 has its charm and highly in-depth combat, which is simple yet vast once thoroughly applied, and the game makes use of it as best as possible. This game genuinely is a work of art and one of the few games out there which personally encapsulate the essence of a videogame through and through; a labour of love and hard effort made to be enjoyed.

Truly amazing game. I've been playing EBF since I was a kid, playing the original flash games on the family computer, and it holds up just as well today as it did then. Memorable, fun characters, easy to understand but hard to master gameplay, and plenty of challenges that add to the experience without taking away from the base game. Obviously I'm a little biased, but if you like JRPGs that are fun to play while not taking themselves too seriously, definitely worth the full price.

I don't know what to even say here that hasn't been echoed a thousand times before. Is this the best Indie RPG of all-time? Most likely. Is this one of the best RPGs of all-time? Absolutely. Is this a masterclass in the genre that should be treated as study material for any would-be developers hoping to make an RPG of their own? Without a single doubt. Everything about this game screams "refined". It's easily created the best combat system in RPG history. Every single tool you have, is used. Every piece of equipment, every skill you learn, has purpose. From the starter gear to the endgame items post-Secret Bosses. You can and will find a purpose for everything you gain. It solves one of the biggest problems of RPGs where you just outgrow certain abilities/equips through its upgrade system. It lets you bring starter items and tier 1 skills, to the endgame. Which you will have purpose for using because of enemy element types and turn cooldowns on your stronger abilities. Combining that with such a well-balanced system, makes for one of the best experiences you can find in a turn-based RPG. The writing is perfect for the tone of the series. It's a lighthearted narrative focusing more on the antics of the party, less any big, overarching story for most of the game. Expect a story that at surface level, doesn't take itself too seriously until the end, but instead prioritizes you building (or rebuilding) a connection with the cast. The art style is absolutely gorgeous, too. Everything is just so charming to look at. Between the cutscenes, overworld, battle sprites and animations, the game just looks SO good. And its style, like its gameplay, is timeless. This game looked great 7 years ago, and will still look great 20 years from now. We NEED more games that use unique styles, and this series is some of the strongest proof of that. In closing? Play this game. It's an absolute gem, and easily claims the spot as the best RPG I've ever played. I lucked out back in the Flash days of finding EBF1/2/3 on random Flash sites. The fact it's still relatively unknown even in the Indie scene, is shocking. Epic Battle Fantasy is to RPGs, what Hollow Knight is to Metroidvanias. And if this truly is the final Epic Battle Fantasy? As much as it would suck to not get to experience another new game in this series? I don't blame Matt. It'd be damn-near impossible to improve upon this. And what a hell of a high note to end the series on. And if you're reading this, Matt? You made a masterpiece that contends with any title by any major developer. Few games will ever achieve the quality and legacy EBF has achieved. And thank you for making a series that always reminds me why I love RPGs to begin with. Looking forward to your future projects, as well! I know you'll continue making exceptional experiences.

I remembered this game from the old Kongregate days, and rediscovering it has been a fantastic surprise. The characters and the humor are still the heart of the whole series. It’s charming, fun, and just feels good to play. Honestly, I really wish we’d get an EBF6 someday.
