Alice is Dead: Hearts and Diamonds is a complete remake! Please be sure to Wishlist it, and keep an eye out for the upcoming release. I LOVE this series, and am thrilled to be involved! ► store.steampowered.com/app/1826770/Alice_is_Dead_Hearts_and_Diamonds/ ◄
Matt is one of the best devs honestly The entire series is great fun and has great music~ Both the collection of older games, and the games that are...well sold as normal games
@@forger343 The music in the entire series is amazing. I don't remember much about the first and second games, but I know the music was still solid. Every time a new game came out, the music was somehow even better than the last time. The newest game blew all of the other ones straight out of the water in every single way, including a beautiful soundtrack that could make angels weep.
Also don't forget the banger music in entire EBF franchise made by Phyrnna. It's genuinely mind boggling how the game stays under the radar while indie games like undertale are on the rise these past few years.
well yeah i mean it does but...well you already know how it is after playing it hehe still cool that it does have those factors and the chemistry stuffs on the on the party members
Epic Battle Fantasy definitely hits the nostalgia bone with the dialogue, armor/weapons (including their descriptions), items (and their descriptions too), attacks and enemy designs. Even Matt's older flash animations still have the charm his games have with dialogue (for as little as there is in them) that makes zero sense and characters basically doing whatever they please. I tried playing the first two games when I could, but everytime I would get scolded like I was in a religious school. No seriously, I wanted to beat the first game but I only got the chance to it during lunch and everytime I went to play that game I would get scolded by the librarian for reasons I never actually got other than "that's inappropriate, turn it off". Not sure if she was talking about the game itself or the ads that were always on the side of the site I was playing the games on. Seriously, does anyone know why some of the teachers and school staff had a collection of sticks up their asses? Because the logic they give is beyond confusing half the bloody time.
Epic Battle Fantasy is such a great RPG series. The newest one EBF5 is genuinely fun. So much personality, silly dialogue, great strategy, and epic bosses! The other games shown are pretty cool too. I also liked Alice is dead.
EBF is amazing with the way buying deluxe editions work; the entire game can be played just fine free, with the deluxe adding more content that doesn't outright trivialize the base game.
Full video on strike force heroes? I’d love to see that! I played this game to death as a kid coming back from school and it really impressed me for its solid story
My major recommendation is a gigantic part of my childhood and one I don't see many people talk about even among the flash game community: Telepath RPG. Very well made and well written turn based strategy RPG series.
Matt is really excellent, and I hope more people play his games because he is the Flash version of Zun. Matt is really nice from what I have seen and heard, and he really loves to preserve his games so that people can play them hence why I called him the flash version of Zun. I have almost all of his games and will support any future projects because I remember him putting exclusive characters on certain websites like Kongregate, and I find his gimmicks really cool.
honestly glad to see Don't Escape featured here I've played the first 3 games and watched a 100% playthough of 4 (thanks manlybadasshero lol), it was a incredible journey! I really hope more people experience it
Great hearing about SFH's revival, and seeing the EBF series on here. If you want to look more into flash games on mobile though, there’s Duck Life and Car eats car; I imagine most knows the former, but the latter is a racing-survival based game, upgrading your car to survive the passing levels, with it slowly leaning into being action based as the games went on; if you like something a little more brief, there’s the spiritual successor to Super Mario 63: Super Mario 127! It's still in beta, with only test levels and an editor, but certainly still has a lot to showcase in what it has. Great video regardless!
Epic battle fantasy is so damn good. The number of times I have played through EBF 4 and 5 is staggering. I've even 100%ed 5 and am currently working on doing the same in 4. I also can't forget to mention Bullet Heaven 1 and 2 when talking about EBF. I would lose my mind if an EBF 6 were to happen, but the gravestone in Red Pine seemed to have dashed that dream. Hopefully, it digs its way out in the future.
Me clicking on this video knowing full well I have every single Epic Battle Fantasy game on Steam Edit: Side note, Matt also updated Epic Battle Fantasy 4 after the release of EBF5 generally giving a lot of the same quality of life features that EBF5 has and making some small adjustments to just make the game better overall. Things like being able to reset your rare foods because you could give each one to any party member in EBF4, letting you switch between player turns without having to go to the Tactics tab, and my personal favorite adjustment, making Anna's whistle not blow your god damn ears out every time she casted a magic attack.
This was lovely, and the fact that Super Motherload was so old caught me by surprise For either this series or Flashlight, I'm very much hoping you cover the Intrusion series some day
Gods Will Be Watching, Luftrauser, Hexagon, Canabalt, Intrusion, Meat Boy, Insaniquarium, Dino Run, There Is No Game, and Westerado are some games I'd recommend for this series.
I've always had dreams of a raze multiplayer like the game was fucking made for some shooting with friends or even competitive shit. Strike force heroes being done so is also gonna be lovely to see!
So glad you included the EBF series!!! Feels like nobody else ever talks about it lol. The sheer nostalgia too… Ngl I would watch you play it once you get around to playing it (from what the video included, it sounds like you will?)
So glad to see that Deep Sleep 4 was officially announced and now has a steam page. The game is called Labyrinth of the Forsaken. A few games I'd like to mention that have continued after the death of flash: Cursed Treasure 1 and 2 I originally played on Kongregate, but they recently released Cursed Treasure 2 Ultimate Edition on Steam. The Final Earth 1 and the demo of 2 were originally in Flash with The Final Earth 2 now being fully released on Steam. Aground was also originally on Flash and then got ported to Steam with a "sequel" of sorts being in development now called Aground Zero. GemCraft series also started on Flash and now they have two entries on Steam called Chasing Shadows and Frostborn Wrath. Rusty Lake series also started on Flash, but they continued the series on Steam with the latest one "The Past Within" being just released. Lucky Tower 1 and 2 are also games I enjoyed back in the day. Recently I discovered that there's a Steam page for a new game called Lucky Tower Ultimate scheduled to be released in 2024 apparently.
I already made a comment but I would like to see Rusty Lake talked about in a future episode. That series started off with the flash series Cube Escape but has multiple steam games and is still going.
I really hope that some day I'll see Obliterate Everything 4 in one of these videos. OE3 was tremendous fun. Real-time strategy with some amazingly exciting random loot mechanics.
All of these games are pretty amazing on their own. But seeing specifically Strike Force Heroes and EBF in it, just warms my almost non-existant heart.
I'm a year late, but Epic Battle Fantasy is such a fun series. Perhaps the comedy is a little low bar for some, but I love it. But the gameplay has only ever improved, and Matt Roszak is a stellar developer. He's such a lad, always coming to us fans for opinions or testing things or giving out his games for on sale. The one thing he's made abundantly clear is how he loathes needless "nickel & diming" of the customer. That's why all the DLC stuff for his games on mobile cost $6.66, but you get EVERYTHING, instead of, say $x.xx for each individual thing he could charge for, and some of those things he provides in his games, he could absolutely separate for individual charges. In fact, if I remember correctly, he was strongly recommended to do so by the mobile hosting folks and he refused, though they outright wouldn't let him put the game out there without SOME kind of paid incentive DLC... hence the $6.66. I remember him being kinda annoyed in the Discord about it at the time.
I'm so excited for Hearts & Diamonds ! Alice is Dead was a game I absolutely loved as a kid, having watched TraskNari play it waaaaay back when, and I believe SirEldricIV did as well? Either way, my hype is real.
Hello 2 left thumbs I was curious have you ever heard of the old flash game series called thing-thing ? With your style of videos I would love to hear if you have something to say about that old series I just remember playing it during breaks while I was in school it’s such a fun shooter in my eyes and I have a lot of fond memories of it
Thing-Thing was dope!! I haven't played all of them myself. They'll definitely be getting a shoutout in my Madness Flashlight pt 2 video, talking about the fandom and Madness community. And hopefully someday I can give them their very own episode :)
What about Rebuild 3? Based on the first two Rebuild games, it's a zombie apoc series and extremely well done played it a ton when I was younger and came back to it many times. What's crazy though is that Mastermind: World Conqueror another extremely well done strategy game is complex for being a flash game and could easily be it's own game, with tons of detail and different things to do and ways to do it. Surprised it rarely gets mentioned, not to mention it's voice acting which it has a lot of lines for being a flash game, isn't terrible either for the most part.
This was incredible BUT I definitely think you should talk about stick war because those games were my absolute favorites 😂 stick war was insane the voice acting and the world building the universe was so cool.
even i love matt n how his game somehow connect me with my best bud and scrip who i am to day , i kinna feel left down after i say that we cant have that sweeet sweet Natz Ultimate anymore
I know this does not fit into this kind, but could you please talk about chaos faction 1 and 2? No new game has been made since 2015, and flash has died so both games cant be played. I have loved the game since 2017, and i dont want it to be forgotten. The video wouldnt be that long, only 7-9 mins, since the games dont have much. Hope you see this 2LeftThumps, and have a good day!
I remember that I first saw Alice is dead years ago bc I saw a video of Mark playing it and at first I thought it was madness returns Edit: also, I would love if you would do something with the learn to fly games! I adore them immensely and used to play them all the time!
Just going to point out that just because a project has been fully funded doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get it. There have been just plenty of Kickstarter failures that don't deliver a product due to mismanagement or other factors. Pledging after they hit the goal just means that they will take your money at the end of the campaign. When judging a campaign, look at what they're promising, what budget they say they can do it with, what they plan to do for stretch goals, and the previous history of the creator. Make sure that they're well organized, and have a realistic vision for the money they raise.
dude Motherload and Epic Battle Fantasy (Flash Version with copyright content) are my nostalgic Games back to 2010s. I dont know the other 3 Games on this video.
@@Kevin_Tapia thank you for telling me. i know. i heard the song before. but could not remember. now checking it out. i remember playing that flash game. very funny flash game!!!
19:34 One cool thing about the comparison between Motherload and Minecraft is how the former is actually an indirect inspiration for the latter: Zach Barth was inspired by Motherload when creating Infiniminer, and Infiniminer went on to be a central inspiration for Minecraft.
