What it is

This is an over-the-top turn-based RPG with monster catching and strategic combat. It features juvenile humor, anime fanservice, and extensive customization.

What players liked

Players praise EBF5 as a content-rich, polished traditional turn-based RPG with in-depth combat and charming hand-drawn art.

The catch

Battles drag because animations are slow and there is no way to speed them up.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 98% positive, but with 2,827 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
