Epic Battle Fantasy 5 is out!

Posted by matt-likes-swords - November 30th, 2018


The Steam version of EBF5 is out!

Compared to the free version (coming soon-ish), it adds 48 extra equips, 5 new dungeons, and 10 new bosses, including many of the hardest ones in the game. Other perks include HD graphics and audio, a choice of screen resolutions, and Steam features, like cards, achievements, and cloud saving!

Everyone who owns EBF4 on Steam will get a 20% discount coupon for EBF5. This needs to be launched by a human from Valve, so there might be some delay getting these out.

The coupons will be valid for a month, and after that I’ll release a Steam bundle of EBF4, EBF5, and Bullet Heaven 2. This bundle gives you 20% off if you “complete the set”. If you only own EBF4, for example, you can buy the other 2 games together for 20% off. This will be a permanent deal going forward, and it works in conjunction with other discounts.

If you want to support Phyrnna directly, buying the EBF5 soundtrack on Bandcamp will give her a much bigger cut than she gets from Steam. It’s also available on most music platforms.

The EBF Discord is a good place to talk with other players, and to get help if you get stuck in the game. You can also report bugs and other problems there.

EBF5 officially only supports Windows, but Steam Play beta allows it to run normally on Linux (apparently), and the installation folder also includes the game’s Flash file and Flashplayers for different operating systems. So you can run it on a Mac or even on a mobile device with a bit of tinkering. (without Steam features though)

The free web version will be released once I’ve had a break from the Steam release. The beta will stay up on this website, but it’s already quite outdated and buggy compared to the Steam version. Saves between all versions will be compatible, and easily transferable with the save backup feature. Saves from the beta may have a few minor problems – such as permanently missing an equip or two if you save in the wrong place – so it’s better to start again.

hope valve works overtime to get those out.

Valve had better not censor the *click*:boing: bit. Looking forward to this!

now.this is epic

Fantastic work once again, get the free version out, and then take a well-deserved rest! You have earned it!

That's a looot of extra stuff for the truest fans! Awesome news.

annnnnnd bought! leme tell you, despite you being a small developer, you put out quality that makes me excited to get home and play your game more than any Triple A shit that gets shoveled out. i really think big developers needs to take note from people like you to see that passion and quality is still the best principle for game making.

Thanks! EBF5 is pretty personal and I think it shows.

Congrats on the undertaking. I know how hard it is to make even a small game, so making a big one mostly by yourself is pretty amazing.

Thanks! I don't think I want to spend so long on a project ever again.

YES

Neat. I hope it does well!

It's passionate creators like you that give me hope for the video game industry. All these "live services" AAA publishers are shoving out by the handful are taking the fun and creativity out of gaming, so it's up to the indies to push back against the corporate suits that are a detriment to this art form.

Been a fan since EBF2! Just got a Steam Coupon for owning 4, and Bought 5! Super excited to play it, and thank you for your amazing dedication on making games all these years! :)

Yesssssssssss! I've been waiting for EBF5 to come out.
This game is the best I've ever played.

I am honestly really happy there is going to be a fifth game I love your games and you really do good work I just wish there was an anime or some sort of cartoon it

Currently playing, the bonus bosses are quite powerful.
Thank a lot.
