EBF5: Free Version and Steam Updates

Hey guys, I’ve update the free version of Epic Battle Fantasy 5 on my website. This means that that version is up to date and “finished” now. Not sure when it will come to other websites, but for now you can play it there, and there’s been a lot of changes since it was in beta.

I’ve also updated the game on Steam, going right from version 1.2 to 1.5, so there’s a lot of things that can go wrong, especially with the new saving system. Just so everyone knows: You have the option to stay on the old version if you wish. It might be worth a try if you encounter any major problems. You can go to Steam Client > EBF5 > Right Click > Properties > Betas > Select version 1.2.

    Good game and thank you for having the characters annoyed when ever purchasing the full game is mentioned. I do have to say though if 6 has the same gimmick(needing to constantly change gear and/or weapons), I will have to boycott. Unless you over level(which is way to easy to do) you sometimes change weapons every wave. It was fine at first always having to account for the possible loss of a turn, I just ended up getting bored with that and grinded for 3 hours and now everything is sooo easy. Yeah you get great weapons that are pretty universal, if you pay. But(did pay 2 years ago changed phones now Im playing the free version so there is that problem as well) it plays different if you’ve paid. More fluid with less gear changes, difficulty scales correctly(the highest setting is actually easier in the free version) and you get more everything. Of course cause you have paid you get more. But why don’t free players get the same game experience? I think by respecing some weapons and equipment(more non elemental just blah) it would smooth out the rough edges of the free version without giving shit away for nothing. You should think about this, if the free version felt more like the full, more people would want the full for the extra content. Or I am just an idiot.
    Sincerly,

      If you’re talking about the mobile version… then yeah, you’re gonna be a little bit underleveled if you don’t watch ads or pay.
      But you still have the option to turn the difficulty down if you’d prefer not to grind.
      Generally the game is balanced around your players being about the same level as the foes.

      Saying you’ll boycott a product when you’re not even paying for it is pretty dumb though, yeah.

    Thanks for the update. And you pay much more attention (and I mean this every bit as a compliment to you) to feedback than some of the big-ish names in the interactive entertainment industry. 🙂

    Anyone else has the problem where they can’t save the game? The save slots just stay empty/whatever was there before. Some time ago I loaded my lvl 18 save, grinded all the way up to 25 or so, only to notice that the next time I opened the game, my autosave is still at lvl 18.

    Moreover, if I open the game on incognito mode, saving works correctly. But I would prefer them to work during normal browsing too, in case I forget to make a backup and lose my progress.

    Have you guys had similar problems? Any idea how to fix it?
