Feb. 2025

A really great turn-based RPG game with some mechanics to learn and tons of skills. I have played EBF 3 and 4 before this and they are really good game. But, after playing EBF 5, i'm sure that this is one of the best turn-based game i've ever played. This game mix the element of turn-based game, exploration, secret finding, and a little bit of grinds. Some concepts in this game are also really spectacular. I personally would recommend to go for hard/epic difficulty so that you can actually learn the mechanics in this game and actually play (i think) how the game was intended to be played. Normal difficulty or below can just be completed by just "brute forcing" the enemy(my experience tho, not sure about others). But, after getting 100% of the achievements in this game and opened a secret room that required all achievement to be completed, the room and the afterword/story felt a bit anti-climatic. Other than that, EBF 5 is really a good game. Overall, 9/10. If you like turn-based game, go try this game out!

Nov. 2024

You can think of EBF as pretty much a high-quality parody of late 90s/early 2000s JRPGs: goofy anime protag types wielding massive swords, bombastic limit breaks that nuke the entire arena, a weird presence of futuristic military technology that clashes heavily with the fantasy theme, and final bosses so powerful they might as well be literally gods. The enemy design is varied, the artstyle and animations are charming, and it's extremely fun. It's an archetypal turn-based RPG, but brings enough to the table in terms of mechanics and gameplay variety that it doesn't feel like "just another turn-based JRPG". If you enjoy: - turn-based JRPGs - flash game-era weebkino - games with legalized nuclear weapons This is HIGHLY recommended, along with EBF 3 and 4.

Sept. 2024

One of the golden remnants of the flash game era of the internet, I still remember when EBF 3 came out in 2010 and it was phenomenal for what it was. This is no different and is even better than it's predecessors. lets just say getting pwned in 2024 brings a tear to my eye :,)

Aug. 2024

EBF5 is a bit of an enigma to me because it's one of the few JRPGs I truly enjoy, but it's a tough sell to other people. The animations, world design, and especially the music are outstanding in this game. Maybe the coolest part is how the game reinterprets and modernizes a whole bunch of mechanics from different JRPGS and fuses them into one cohesive package. I can tell EBF5 very much is a passion project. Both the battles and expansive overworld were clearly made with a lot of personality that bleeds though the game. There's so many extra touches and content that didn't need to be there, but was put there just because it's cool. So where does the tough sell come in? Well for one, EBF5 is still at the end of the day a turn-based JRPG with all of the oddities and slow gameplay that comes with it. It's a very technical JRPG made by someone who is obviously a huge nerd for these sorts of things, and that could be off-putting to some. The other thing is that well... the game's just a bit stupid. Intentionally for sure, it's very inspired by Newgrounds era flash games, but I could see the writing, humor, and parody elements of the game putting some people off. STILL! I had a really good time with this vibrant and well-thought out adventure and even went back a few more times on harder difficulties. The parts that work with EBF5 really do shine that well.

April 2024

EBF3 was my go-to game when I was younger... I remember beating it several times over and learning where every single chest was, knowing exactly which enemies were where and what their weakness were without having to look. I was practically obsessed! And I know I played EBF4 at some point as well, but I had other things going on and never got around to finishing it. I am so, so thrilled that I finally picked up EBF5. I love this game! I didn't expect it to have so much content. Even nearing 60 hours in on hard mode, I still have a respectable backlog of things to do + places to explore. I'm really looking forward to curating the game using the custom difficulty modifiers in NG+. The dialogue is my favorite part of the game however - it's silly, upbeat, and rarely takes itself too seriously. The characters make so many little quips at each other and the world around them, and I find that really charming. NPCs are just funny and snarky and breath life into areas that might otherwise feel mundane... it makes trying new equipment & exploring the overworld that much more enjoyable. Thank you Matt! For the memories, and for the fun. The EBF series is always going to hold a special place in my heart.
