I absolutely loved the warport. I went through several times with the intention of dying (great fun), and I hope to see it again in chapter 4. I just wish that there were a few more questions, such as "How many weapons are you carrying?" (NONE. Just this one. I don't know, let me check... Enough to kill everyone here, and then some!), and the gold pass came to soon for me. Maybe just free travel, and then at the next level just half the security guards or throw you back to the entrance rather than killing you before giving us the full deal. I also wish I could destroy my gold pass just so I could go through the security screening again...

There are 2 types of battles, those marked with blue exclamation points and those marked with red exclamation points. The blue battles are there for you to level up, get loot, etc if you want. The red battles are mandatory. Being able to hit z to skip the blue battles is a feature, not a glitch.

@Gere: The graphics are "bad" because that is what fits the game. Imagine this game with COD graphics - Good? No, absolutely TERRIBLE. Why? Because that's not in the style of the game.
Weak plot? Not compared to many PROFESSIONAL games. How much plot do you see in videogames in GENERAL? If you mean how the fifth wall is crying over the remains of it's predecessor (in other words, how meta it is), then that is for all of the people with a good sense of humor and who enjoy a good parody. If you don't, well, then, I'm sorry for you, because you will miss out on a lot that way.
In any case, it's in the "Best of 2010" for a good reason - because many people actually enjoy its sense of humor, the appropriate graphics, etc. If you don't enjoy that, well, then you are beyond help.

I played the first and second chapter and had a blast, it was easy and very fun, but I didn't realize that I could attack multiple monsters with spell attacks until I accidently tapped the left arrow in battle, during the third chapter. Wow, lol, i'm retarded.

Ok. I just have to say this. This game is extremely good. I'm at the start of this chapter, and my gameplay hours have reached 21. Compared to the time i used finishing Bioshock(20 hours) and seeing this is only the third chapter in a story of eight or so chapters I am really amazed. This game really has an interesting story, a nice ability system. and few limitations. I only wish that this would be on a handheld instead becaus the fact that some directions oversteer others bother me and I could really use a D- pad. I do not believ that this is anyones fault. and the game pretty much makes up for my problems to move my character. I must say that this is one of the best games i have ever played, and I'm going to rate all chapters top rating. keep up the good work.

I had around 70 hours of game time, and then stuff happened, and my safe files were deleted, so now I have to start all over again.
I am somewhat uncertain of weather this is a bad or a good thing. On the bad side, I now have to play for another 70 hours before finishing the story. On the good side, I now have to play for another 70 hours before finishing the story.
Well, better get to it. Tally-ho!

I'm really happy to see that this game is finally in the top 5 of this category! Now I'm looking forward to see it with the highest rating on Kongregate!

BUT I HONESTLY SAY THAT I WOULD ONLY BE CAPABLE OF CREATING A STORY AND MAYBE SOME NEW SKILLS. I HAVE NO IDEA OF PROGRAMMING. I ONLY GOT IDEAS FOR THE PLOT AND A REALLY GOOD PLOTTWIST

I had a great idea. Since 2 out of 5 people on comments are saying they have a problem, psuedolonewolf, master of all that is awesome, should start a troubleshooting thread in these forums. Thumbs up if you agree. If one is made, I will also make a post with the address.

@Dekmar Well,i never had to focus on learning physical defensive skills(maybe because i use the same party)the best way to learn magic defensive is to physically attack a elemental it'll counter you with the same spell of it's own element that it would use if it targeted you on his own turn sorry i guess this was long i hope it helps!!!

I've played through this series four times now and have a couple tips for completionists: 1-Walkthrough on Kongregate 2-Goznor.com 3-Start from chapter 1 (and make sure to get Social Fox in the encyclopedia in this chapter) Hope this helps!

To anybody hating on this game...This game isn't all about the gameplay and the battles. It's also a mockery of just about every random battle rpg game ever (most final fantasy games, pokemon, dragon quest, so on). Like when you get no items after a battle, the box displays "these opponents were poor and had no items". Haven't you wondered how a freaking magicarp got its tiny flippers on thirty bucks? And it makes fun of all the irrational parts of tons of plotlines and actions, like how that guy next to the portals says "somehow the dark energy is confusing the...magic-ness...of the portals" or how one of the lizard men you kill says, "I hate the taste of floor". If you're here for nothing but a random battle rpg game, don't complain about it wasting your time or being unoriginal...this is a parody. It may not have super original gameplay, but it's definitely creative and funny.

In Goznor there is a Guardian who sais: "Bloody useless developer. Waste o' space, 'e is." Well...thats just not true!

This game is an absolute masterpiece I must say. I love the series and it really gets your attention. It is truly a unique series that is luckily free for all of us to play and we should most definitely be grateful as such. It can tell such a great and interesting story with interesting twists and yet hilarious dialogues/descriptions. MARDEK RPG is one of my most favorite games and it's great for killing time. This game certainly deserves more credit. I love it and looking forward to the next installment, fantasizing about how it can even get more improved then it can be now! 5/5!

It sickens me that games like Sonny are rated higher than this. The Sonny series is garbage compared to the MARDEK series. This game is an absolute masterpiece. Definitely one of the best flash games out there.

I must admit I dont like RPG games but Mardek is an exception, love the battle music, the challenging quests, the witty conversations between NPC's, there is much much more I could praise about Mardek, Great Job! Pseudolonewolf This is a piece of Flash Game RPG Treasure P.S cant wait til Mardek 4 :)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Just so y'all know, Mardek 4 is never coming out. This is the last game in the series - the series itself got rebooted about 3 years ago and is now on mobile platforms. But it's still one of the most solid RPGs, ever.

Finally, after years having played this series, unable to progress in the past due to IE glitchy sticky keys (now I use a different browser), I have finally completely beaten this marvelous game in it's entirety. So sad that it will not be continued ever, but perhaps someday, somehow, we can return to Belfan, track down the Dark Crystal, find Enki, and soar into space aboard the Goldfish to save the universe from the corrupted Annunaki! Until then, the imagination shall have to suffice. Truly this is one of the best thought-out RPG series to have graced the gaming world. Thank you Pseudolonewolf, even if you no longer care for it.

I don't get why people don't like this game. Is it the pixel graphics? Those are easily passed over for me; much better than the annoying chibi graphics EBF4 has. The combat is fun and simple, relying on a 4 element circle plus a few other elements which make this game similar to pokemon in a way. It has rewarding loot, a good story (two things that EBF4 lacks) and has a lot of status effects that make sense and aren't too hard to get rid of. Next, it has an engaging amount of content and replayability, unlike EBF4. Heck, I've commented here before, but MARDEK just has so much more redeeming qualities than EBF4 that makes the game fun and not a drag. So please people, open your eyes. This is a good game, sure it has its flaws, but so does every game. It's like another poster here said, it's a GENRE that it is making light fun of, not a copy off. Thank you for reading if you did, I really wanted to get that off my chest.

Ah, damn. Beat the game and replaced my save file with the end of game one and now I can't reload it for the impossible. Should have a warning for that.

There will be a 4th chapter, just not for quite a while. He explains all of this on his website. He's currently working on other, equally fantastic games. Have patience, and faith.

My favourite pastime is trying to shepherd the boys in the Warport through security and into the Warp, where they don't actually do anything... What does that say about me as a person?

Security Guy: Do you find me attractive? Me: No. Security Guy: Terrorist!!!! I throw a noxious bomb at the demon. Demon casts death on itself. Security Guy: Obviously our security is no match for you go right on through!. Me: Cuz my common sense is 100000 times that of your security.

You could claim that Mardek was ripped off of Final Fantasy just as easily as you could claim that Skyrim was ripped off Mardek. ITS CALLED A FANTASY RPG!!!
