Epic Battle Fantasy 2

Epic Battle Fantasy 2 is a turn-based strategy Role Playing game by matt-likes-swords. It's the sequel of Epic Battle Fantasy, sponsored by Armor Games.
== Story ==
Epic Battle Fantasy 2 has a somewhat deeper story than its predecessor, though it is still succinct and meant to be comedic. After the events of the first game, the world was devastated. Pollution skyrocketed and new forms of monsters became aggressive. Meanwhile, an ambitious man seeks to take control of the world using his mighty army. The Heroes, who have learned new abilities and gotten new outfits since the last game, started their journey. After defeating a giant robot, they gain access to a powerful satellite to help them in combat. They also buy supplies from a Red Mage. Meanwhile, NoLegs the Cat fights off his ancestors, who he left behind to join in on the quest. Later, after defeating a giant worm, the party eats some of it, and soon dies of poisoning. Fortunately, they are healed by an angel, who also sells them supplies. Finally, the party reaches their antagonist, who is a gunner in a giant tank. After defeating him, they agree to join forces.
== Design ==
Epic Battle Fantasy is a Role Playing Game in the tradition of Japanese games such as Final Fantasy. At the beginning of the game, players can choose from four difficulty levels, which alter the attributes of enemies. The game is strictly linear, and the player must defeat wave after wave of enemies, including powerful bosses, in order to progress. At certain points, the player will reach a checkpoint where they can save and buy and sell items. At save points, players will enter a minigame, where they play as NoLegs the cat. NoLegs must slay cat skeletons to get their loot to use at the item shops. Players will also regularly reach points where they can improve their characters stats and teach them new skills. The game ends when the player defeats a powerful final boss.
==Gameplay==
The player controls the same two characters as the previous game, Matt and Natz, but now with different and more powerful special attacks. Matt can switch between different swords, each one with its own boosts, and may execute powerful physical attacks. Natz is a mage who can attack enemies with different spells, heal the party or summon creatures to aid them in battle. Both characters can do a simple attack, defend, and use items. One new feature in this game is the possibility of changing the order of attack. This allows either character to attack first. Another is the Super Attack, which charges over time when characters are hit, and is indicated by a red meter along with health and magic. Matt's Super Attack deals a number of sword strikes against a foe, while Natz's heals both party members, cures status ailments, increases their stats, and weakens enemy stats.

==Presentation==
Epic Battle Fantasy 2 uses a similar style to the previous game, colorful and influenced by Japanese RPGs. The dozens of enemy types range from the cute to the surreal, and there are a variety of locations shown in the backgrounds. The characters also have new outfits. The characters' humorous dialogue will often appear in a text bar on the top of the screen. The most remarkable difference between the games is the music. Unlike the first game, which used licensed music, Epic Battle Fantasy 2 uses music composed by Phyrnna.
