| 2024-11-15 |  | | I really love this game! In my opinion it's well developed. I just started playing it about 4 days ago so the kinks and bugs are probably all fixed so I got the best version of it. But I really enjoy the game play, I like the fact that you can see the enemies before you engage with them which allows you to strategize, I like how you can scan an enemy and retreat successfully to strategize, I like how You can capture monsters And I really love some of the fourth wall breaking humor. |
| 2024-11-10 |  | | I happened across this game by chance and decided to give it a play just to kill time but ended up LOVING this game! I am not a fan of turn based games but you all put in a ton of work to make everything from the character designs, dialogue, story and especially the immense content upon content just amazing. More than 5 stars is deserved! |
| 2024-10-29 |  | | I wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone getting into game design. EBF5 is an absolute masterclass in combat design, and serves as a sterling example for how enemies should be designed in a JRPG. And I don't say this often, but I recommend buying everything on offer here except the XP/AP booster. The amount of new content you get out of it is like a whole extra game by itself, and on top of that, it adds crazy replayability. |
| 2024-05-27 |  | | The Epic Battle Fantasy games are my favorite turn-based RPG series, and being able to play the best one on the go is a dream come true. Lots of skills to use, a huge variety of equipment and summons, genuinely difficult challenges, it's basically a love letter to anyone who loves JRPG combat. The dialogue is silly and charming too, and I think the characterization is at its best in this entry in particular. If you want an RPG that doesn't oversimplify its mechanics for mobile, this is the one. |
| 2024-05-02 |  | | Absolutely amazing! Exactly like the original pc version I use to play. Best of all it's entirely free. The optional purchases are just that, optional. I personally recommend them. As they're a great 1 time purchase. It does have the occasional frame drop, but it's only a few for a couple seconds at a time. It has to be my setup. Specifically on mobile, for me. My only issue is once matts' unleash skill is maxed. It tends to prevent the menu from popping up again, after I use it. Fixed on reset. |
| 2024-04-11 |  | | Solid old-school turn-based rpg. Mix final fantasy-style gameplay with modern controls and a lot of silliness. Main game free to play, ads optional for extra rewards, cash can buy additional content or make life easier but definitely not required. Great fun so far, 3-4 hours in. Wish you could load from save from within app. Once post-combat optional ads appear (around the first boss), game sometimes lags, especially at start & end of combat. Airplane mode before load for dirty fix. |
| 2024-02-27 |  | | Update: At the final area, only missing a few quests (mostly seasonal) and whatever optional Deluxe content there is. It's still really fun! The customization and strategy opens right up once you get all 5 party members, and bosses are really fun to work around. Hoping to be able to grab some Deluxe content; this game is hella fun and I definitely want to play more. Highly recommend if you like turn-based RPGs, this is one of the golden ones! |
| 2024-02-14 |  | | Damm good port, never had crash issues controls great and you can beat the entire game without seeing a single ad. Actual gameplay is fantastic, it somehow feels accessible to new players without sacrificing depth. Basically an entire RPG experience playable on mobile that has so much content available for free that it feels like robbery |
| 2023-12-14 |  | | ridiculous that it's an additional $8 just to remove the ads even after you purchase additional content, but otherwise good game Edit: The ad prompt affects gameplay by removing 30% of what you would otherwise earn from a battle. I understand it's an alternative to having ads, but I would rather just have ads than something that alters gameplay. That said, this is a just blemish on an otherwise fantastic game, so just buy the whole thing. Thanks for being so attentive to your fans, Matt. |
| 2023-11-09 |  | | This game would get a 5 star rating if it wasn't for all the times it crashed during pivotal fights, including against the final boss which has two tough stages. Honestly, I can't bring myself to play it anymore. I almost beat the final boss, but the game crashed when it was at low health. It's incredibly frustrating. Doubly so because other than that, this game is amazing and so much fun to play. But the crashes during boss fights and tough battles with multiple waves of enemies... not good. |
