Epic Battle Fantasy 5

Epic Battle Fantasy 5 is a game created by Matt Roszak, aKa Kupo Games on November 30th 2018, and its also the fifth entry of the Epic Battle Fantasy saga. Aside from the Steam Version, the game used to have a web free version, which only limited specific areas of the game.

The game is a reboot of the other four main Epic Battle Fantasy games, where all the heroes meet each others and travel to unwrap the mysterious monolith that fell from the sky.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) You have access to five characters (four of them which are unlocked by defeating them)
 * 2) * Matt, which is the main protagonist of the game, is the knight, and his skills allows him to be able to deal heavy damage on a single target, making him useful to deal with bosses.
 * 3) * Natalie is the mage of the group, and all of her skill's moveset involves unleashing different type of magic attacks, which can target all enemies once upgraded enough.
 * 4) * Anna is the "ranger" class of the group, and her skills involves using the status effects to the player's advantage, which can help the player to capture more enemies to use as summon.
 * 5) * Lance acts as the "gunner" class, and most of his skills has a good damage output, but high cooldowns, which incentivizes careful thinking on which skill.
 * 6) * Nolegs is the "thief" class, and a good amount of his skills allows him to attack other enemies if the target dies, making him the perfect tool for dealing with many enemies.
 * 7) Unlike the previous entry, you're able to capture foes and use them as summons, including most bosses. Each one of them also features their own effects, such as using a Yellow Flybot to swap the enemies's stat boosts, or an Angel Mirror to receive the enchanted status.
 * 8) The game has lots of funny moments and aknowledging of certain parts, including some fourth wall.
 * 9) The game offers many weapons and armor to equip, each one with their own abilities, resistances to elements or status effects. It's also possible to equip up to three flails, which allows to receive resistances and/or boosts.
 * 10) *The player can also forge them to improve their stats, and add new effects that can help the player, such as giving status effects or increasing stats when defending.
 * 11) *Another factor of the armors and flairs, is that they show to the equipped character.
 * 12) *Some of the armors and weapons also provides a boost to skills that has a specific element or focus (such as buff or debuff skills), which allows the player to customize their character on how they play.
 * 13) The game also features skills that can be equipped to specific characters, allowing you to swap them to give a different approach.
 * 14) The player can obtain steroids, rare items that permanently boosts a specific character's stat. Unlike in Epic Battle Fantasy 4, however, each character has their own steroids, which is a big improvement.
 * 15) You can switch characters before and during battles, allowing for different strategies and combos.
 * 16) *Another good thing is that the characters heals outside of battle, which can save you the trouble of wasting healing items.
 * 17) The story, while rather weird, is also interesting.
 * 18) The achievements/medals you get actually rewards you by opening new parts in the Grand Gallery, which is a good incentive to reach for them.
 * 19) You can set the level of difficulty at any time.
 * 20) *The harder difficulties gives enemies new attacks and enables achievements regarding fighting bosses.
 * 21) The design of the areas, enemies, characters and bosses are very good, and tend to feel unique.
 * 22) You can bring a save from the web version to the Steam version, so that you don't lose the progress you made.
 * 23) Being an Epic Battle Fantasy game, it has many call-backs from other games of its franchise.
 * 24) * It also features references from other series, including other games, anime and cartoons.
 * 25) The quests actually serves a purpose, as completing them rewards you with new skills, ultimates and items that are useful.
 * 26) The soundtrack is very good, with "Ziallangeist" and "A Breeze from Home" as the examples.
 * 27) The game has secret areas, which can lead to new enemies, bosses and weapons/armors.
 * 28) Like the other titles, the game features Limit Breaks, which can allow a player to use an ultimate attack.
 * 29) A neat feature that is added is the Custom game option, which allows the player to customize starting gear, randomize enemy and item spawns, give random weather, allow enemy to be on par with the player, and fight using up to three characters.
 * 30) One of the new areas that the game offers you during the later parts is the Data Bunker, which has enemies and bosses that comes from the older titles of the franchise.
 * 31) There are different arcade cabinets hidden throught different areas, where you can fight special enemies (which can show themself after reaching a specific part of the game). Said enemies are also unique, as they have an 8-bit style.
 * 32) Throught the entire map, you can find monster cards that boosts the amount of money obtained, increases the summon points, makes foes easy to capture and boosts their damage as summons.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Steroids becomes more expensive the more you purchase them, and they're difficult to obtain from enemies.
 * 2) Later bosses and superbosses require good strategizing, as they will use more attacks that inflicts debuffs, status effects or elements that you can't access yet.
 * 3) *Furthermore, they're far less easier to capture, especially if you want a specific summon in your arsenal.
