yeah, there's not much modern good turn-based j-rpg games on steam really... unless its some wierd rpg maker games with a bunch of anime girls on it. and to think this was just a silly flash rpg game...
I think almost anyone who frequents sites like Kongregate/Newgrounds and is interested in turn-based RPG have played it (or another game in the series). The EBF games are constantly at the top (in term of play count and rating) on these types of sites, which is already the amount of popularity I think the game deserves. It's not really underrated, it just never became a huge mainstream success. The core gameplay is addictive, the music is great, and the enemy design is/was creative. However, the graphics and gameplay never improved much since EBF3, and the story is... well, there's almost no story. I love the series and it will always be an unforgettable part of my childhood, but they are all pretty much the same formula from EBF3, a game that is 10 years old. Custom game options is definitely a step in the right direction, but I hope the formula would truly "evolve" one day, so that it can compete with modern RPGs.

EPIC BATTLE FANTASY 5 IS A FANTASTICALLY UNDERRATED GAME THANK YOU FOR GIVING IT LIGHT Seriously, everyone. Play Epic Battle Fantasy 5. There's a free version that can be played with Flash.
Funny thing, NoLegs is a unit with not high defenses, very low base HP but very High base evasion. Right at the start of the base game you get a Male Knight armor set, it gives a ton of elemental weaknesses and lowers evasion, but gives big ammount of HP and Defenses, in EBF3 and 4 is a pretty crappy equipment. But for EBF5 I won most of the game and optional hardcore bosses (of course I was playing on Epic mode) with a Knight Set NoLegs, he also had an amulet that gave him the Target status, so I had a low resistance/high evasion character drop his evasion to win strong defenses and have every enemy target it because of the Status. I think it ended up with the Knight set even for The Devourer, it was just too good xd, the most surprising thing was NoLegs tanking Snowball, when it's close to die, it gets stronger attacks, and even then NoLegs was tanking them! (Almost dying most of the last turns, but still, it was pretty impressive).
Lance: Alright I see two Ice Cream Slimes and a Grolar Bear. What's the plan? Matt: We throw stuff! Natalie: Uh we only have snowballs cause we wasted our money for grails. Matt: Don't care! Throw stuff! Anna: *Proceeds to throw snowballs at the Ice Cream Slime*
that truly is interesting as i have beaten the game twice with as few limit breaks as possible. But, seeing this has made me very interested. unfortunately, i dont have the custom game settings. i think that is a paid feature
Seriously, the Epic Battle Fantasy franchise is getting underrated, why is that? It's such an amazing game! This game needs to get popular, and this RUclipsr also needs to get popular!
I'm so happy to see you cover this game and help give it the recognition it deserves, genuinely one of my favorite games of all time! I'd love to see more EBF content :)
please do more challenges with this game, it needs way more attention then it already has. maybe next you could defeat it with only matt. just set it to 1 player battles and flee whenever matt dies.
How about NoLegs only? He seems much more balanced, plus we get to call the challenge "Epic Battle Cat". No relation to that other game I hate which won't let you save your progress. Also, NoLegs.
Oh my Godcat, I never thought I would see an Epic Battle Fantasy Content knowing how this game is brutally underated, and yet Shyguymask did a challenge on a least used items ever! Knowing that Flash is now alreafy dead, I would like to thank you Shyguymask for giving light into this game.
Dude Epic Battle Fantasy was my Favorite game back in my childhood. I got really exited when I saw the little sneak peak on your second channel Edit: who else played Played Epic Battle fantasy (1, 2, 3, 4) when you were like Around 10 Years old
Really? I finished the game 3 times since it was released on Kong and I have found that leveling your right equipment and abilities at the right time to be more effective
@@thejazmaster5292 Incorrect. Considering that the players have a level cap of 50 with Scaling Enemies, by the end of the game enemies will be around or at your level. I'll be doing the ulti-challenge run soon, so I had to make sure of this.
EBF5 has one of the most unique, deep, and most importantly expressive combat systems I’ve ever seen... like great modern JRPGs like Octopath Traveler aren’t even as good as EBF5 it’s insane
Recently I beat the Devourer on Epic, with a few of the difficulty modifers on. I had him at about 150k, so I swapped to Lance, buffed him with Natalie and nuked his ass. He was left under 5k health. I knew what I had to do. I swapped to Matt on my last turn, and CHUCKED A HECKING BRICK AT HIM AND IT FINISHED HIM OFF.
Woah, I'm pleasantly surprised that you're covering EBF5! The EBF series has my favorite gameplay out of any turn-based RPG I've played, and I've always felt that it deserves to be more well-known.
I met the EBF games thanks to this video. Glad ShyGuyMask uploaded this, as thanks to it I was able to enjoy of an amazing videogame saga with spin-offs
Incredible game, and well done beating it, perhaps the no limit breaks or other challenges can be done on harder modes as clearly normal mode was cake for you. In hopes of seeing this game again i blessed it with a rare like and even a share :D
Thank you for fully introducing me to this game. I've never played anything so good and addicting since Freedom Planet (which I played 4-5 years ago. time flies, eh?). I've severely underrated this game series and I hate myself for it. Waiting for EBF anime lmao
Thank you so much for making a video on this game. This has been one of my favorite game series ever. It's so cool to see you make on the the latest installment of the series. Thanks again :)
OH MY LORD. i FUCKING L O V E THIS GAME, BUT I NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE SOMEBODY MAKE A CHALLENGE ABOUT IT! I feel like not a lot of people knows about this games, whilst it's an amazingly fun one ! Dang !
For the uninitiated; EBF5 is an amazing Flash game that currently has a few Steam Releases. Check it out! If you like RPGs and comedy, this game is right up your alley. It's really damn fun to play & revisit
After I saw* this video, I searched up the game on my laptop, tried it out, and I'm really into the game! I do enjoy playing RPG games that require strategies when doing the battles like having to determine when you want to use your skills and items, and what gear you should upgrade before or after others
Try the game at 200% difficulty it adds more strategy besides equipping the best hp and def. Armour and highest attack weapons you would need elemental weapons and resistances and because of that you cant keep the same op armour on the next area for example if you wana get past ice cave you would need ice and bomb resist but in lance's castle would would need bomb water earth electric and wind resistances
@@maskedmanpk6048 I've played this game when the first game was released. It was so intriguing to me that I played it nonstop, trying to figure out the optimal strategy. Then came the second and third game and I loved them both. I still remember playing EBF3 with my younger brother and a very close friend of mine, we would role play as the character choosing what action our character would make(I got Natalie) and it was hella fun. Then the fourth game came out and we got another friend of ours to join in with the role-playing stuff(I still got Natz). Now, we are all in different highschools and since EBF4 was like 3-5 years ago, most of us has already stopped playing the game. EBF5 getting released is wonderful news to all of us, we bought the game the moment it was released on Steam and well needless to say, it is the best game ever made(so much fun that I'm trying do what we used to do: complete the game 100%). I sincerely hope that the franchise will keep on growing and become perhaps the best RPG franchise of all time.
At the time of this reply being made, the part I'm at is trying to get 6 stone heads. The game is really fun (Since it's my first run through the game, I'm playing it on normal) and while their some parts that are easy to get through, there were times that I had trouble. One battle in the game has 2 waves where the second wave is two of the water chompers and a Viking Monolith, all at about level 33 (I was at around level 29 when I did this battle), and the monolith's laser attack would heavily damage the team members on the field, making me spend some of the turns mostly reviving teammates and damaging with only one person. I was able to win that battle by taking out the chompers first (Anna's Frost Flurry special has been, and still makes some battles much easier because of being able to pretty much get a guaranteed freeze on an enemy) either way the game is super fun and is the gift that keeps on giving. I'm glad that not only did I find this video, but it also made me curious about the game, I'd like to check out the other EBF games in the series at some point
8:18 Considering that’s the only thing you allow yourself to do, i don’t see a problem either. 9:43 noooOoOoOoOoOoOOOoOOOoOoOOOOoOOOoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! 12:02 bro that hand bomb just did over 60 thousand damage 16:52 Aw man!
This video inspired me to find and play this game and I have never loved a game so much that during the final boss I was brought to tears with worry I was gonna lose because,, I had to win for the babies,,
This is what we call determination! Wow, i didn't even think it would end just like that. I mean, in Normal Mode, when you reach and have a raft to go to the sea, it is much more hard which i can't finish because of how diverse the enemy is there especially those ruin guards.
the opposite of how i play the game usually. I always avoid using the items and the summons as it feels like you really dont need them even on the higest difficulty.
Cool,epic battle fantasy was (and still is) one of my favorite games ever!Anyway i have a challange: Can you beat kingdom Rush frontiers with no lvl 4 towers? Btw sorry for shit grammar
Fun fact: The statues of the guys at 10:32 are references to madness combat. The guy with the clown hair and iron mask is Tricky, an insane zombie clown with the ability to warp reality itself. And the two guys next to him are random zombies.
Imagine going to save the entire world with bricks, snowballs, shurikens and bombs when you had cool weapons and other stuff just becasue your power went out
"He does something truly despicable" The fact that he put an uncurable status on you and began infinitely healing is the least of your concern. HE DESTROYED THE ENTIRE PLANET..
For you guys still wonder where this character from 9:41 it from chibi knight a classic old game of a knight defeating a demon in hell. Oh there also a sequel but you must buy it at steam i think
Okay, so I don't know about the rest of the game, but the first battle would have been beatable if you allowed for catching but not summoning foes. Now I am curious how the rest of the game would pan out if you allowed catching if there is no other way of progressing (which should, realistically, be only this first battle).
*Three Icecream Slimes appear* Lance: Okay soldiers. We need a plan. So what is the plan? Matt: We throw stuff. Lance: Wait wut? Anna: *Pulls out Snowballs and throws them at the slimes*
Hey! I found you through EBF facebook page of all places - Ronja gave you a shoutout both there and on kupogames, and I am glad for that! Any chance of doing more challenges in the EBF series? Edit: 8:20 - Ha!
Only other idea I have for an EBF challenge would be the "Pacifist challenge", every enemy must be captured or must flee. I wouldn't be doing such a thing right now until I get better at the game and get all achievements though lol
You are the first youtuber that play my favorit childhood game. Thankyou :D , it is a really good fealing to see your childhood game on your favorit youtuber.
I literally started playing this a month ago and finished it a few days and now you post this... Also, use blue HUD. Looks better imo and gives the game a more Final Fantasy-ish look.

The Epic Battle Fantasy franchise is severely underrated
I agree
Facts, and I was pleasantly surprised to see this. Hopefully it gets the viewership it deserves.
Hey, i dont think we need EBF gachers or other bad things. EBF community is perfect for now.
I never personally tried it out because the name alone sounds like it's just a bait, and I have heard similar things from others
I absolutely agree with that statement. It's massively underrated.
EBF5 in a nutshell is a 2 hobos with a park ranger, Hermione, and a nazi, beating the spaghetti monster.
This is the most accurate description that I've ever read for this game.
one of the hobos is also a cat with no limbs
@Mebo and the other has a large collection of swords and wears a pirate outfit for some reason
@@MeboDotExe and no legs.
@stonk Remember persona 2 have nazi in it.
This game is one of the most underrated RPG game out there. I didn't actually expect you make a video about this. You are awesome.

And here's me trying to play the game without using any items, aside from Coffee to revive as I am a peasant.

POCO GOES LOCO Matt is actually working on a mobile version of EBF 5! :)
Great thing, the dev who made the game found out about this video. Good job!
"tank matt"
Well, in EBF 4 he literally is called "the meat shield", and that's a fact even the characters acknowledge!
Pretty sure in EBF5 a character has a line about him being the human meatshield too.
Natalie line: "Meatshield down!"
Funny thing, NoLegs is a unit with not high defenses, very low base HP but very High base evasion.

yup, i didnt know it existed until january this year. since then though, i have beaten it twice

This video inspired me to find and play this game and I have never loved a game so much that during the final boss I was brought to tears with worry I was gonna lose because,, I had to win for the babies,,
This is what we call determination! Wow, i didn't even think it would end just like that. I mean, in Normal Mode, when you reach and have a raft to go to the sea, it is much more hard which i can't finish because of how diverse the enemy is there especially those ruin guards.
Shyguymask:Can you beat Epic Battle Fantasy 5 with ONLY items?
Water Slimes at the beginning of the game:We're about to end this man's whole career!
the opposite of how i play the game usually.
I always avoid using the items and the summons as it feels like you really dont need them even on the higest difficulty.
@k & p Y E S i have almost all of them
I often use the cat ninja for the haste
Cool,epic battle fantasy was (and still is) one of my favorite games ever!Anyway i have a challange:
Can you beat kingdom Rush frontiers with no lvl 4 towers?
Btw sorry for shit grammar

Fun fact: The statues of the guys at 10:32 are references to madness combat. The guy with the clown hair and iron mask is Tricky, an insane zombie clown with the ability to warp reality itself. And the two guys next to him are random zombies.
I never 100%ed a game so hard. This is my favorite indie rpg. Matt Does damn good work with EBF
Imagine going to save the entire world with bricks, snowballs, shurikens and bombs when you had cool weapons and other stuff just becasue your power went out
YOOOOO last game I would have expected BUT ITS AWESOME YOURE SHOWING EBF OFF
I know I'd like to see the optional bosses. All I can say is good luck fighting The Glitch.
I HAVE BEEN WAITTING FOR ZIS VIDEO XD
4:53 CREEPER
AW MAN (look at the head of the big slime)
"He does something truly despicable"
The fact that he put an uncurable status on you and began infinitely healing is the least of your concern. HE DESTROYED THE ENTIRE PLANET..
I agree with the other commenters here about the EBF series being supremely underrated!
I love these games. :-]
@@acake6654 oops, fixed!
wow, this is one of the most un-known RPG turn games as well. Didn't expect you to do this
For you guys still wonder where this character from 9:41 it from chibi knight a classic old game of a knight defeating a demon in hell. Oh there also a sequel but you must buy it at steam i think
This is honestly one of my favorite games. I wasn't expecting this coming from you. Great job.
Person: beating a demon
Weather:nOrMAl
And I'm super happy that another person plays this game, coz this game is sooooo good
No... it's not. Because it shows some really messed up stuff. TO WAR!
Okay, so I don't know about the rest of the game, but the first battle would have been beatable if you allowed for catching but not summoning foes. Now I am curious how the rest of the game would pan out if you allowed catching if there is no other way of progressing (which should, realistically, be only this first battle).
*Three Icecream Slimes appear*
Lance: Okay soldiers. We need a plan. So what is the plan?
Matt: We throw stuff.
Lance: Wait wut?
Anna: *Pulls out Snowballs and throws them at the slimes*
9:38 Oh hey, is that... It's....... IT'S........
*THE CHIBI KNIGHT!*
Hey! I found you through EBF facebook page of all places - Ronja gave you a shoutout both there and on kupogames, and I am glad for that! Any chance of doing more challenges in the EBF series?
Edit: 8:20 - Ha!
Only other idea I have for an EBF challenge would be the "Pacifist challenge", every enemy must be captured or must flee. I wouldn't be doing such a thing right now until I get better at the game and get all achievements though lol
EBF:here, take this weapons and perks, and go fight!
Shyguymask:no u
5:02 One of the cactuses on the big slime look like a creeper
Another great video on an underrated series! And it's nice that you didn't get walled at the final boss like your Octopath challenge run!
Man, and I was just checking a few hours ago to see if you uploaded anything. Cool challenge!
Oh my gosh EBF! I love this series!
Im so happy to found this, I love this game
You are the first youtuber that play my favorit childhood game.
Thankyou :D ,
it is a really good fealing to see your childhood game on your favorit youtuber.
Thanks for reminding me this series exists. Will have to play every single game again now
No... don't...
I fuckin salute you, man. When you teased it on Discord I knew it would be good.
I actually just finished this game. Btw, you can get away with upgrading equipment since there is a "cheat", of sorts that disables any free attacks
Been waiting for this finally :D
I literally started playing this a month ago and finished it a few days and now you post this...
Also, use blue HUD. Looks better imo and gives the game a more Final Fantasy-ish look.
I heavily prefer brown HUD
@@Shyguymask me too
black HUD gang
