Just finnished all Trials here are some Tips that might help ppl having hard time:1. For Colossus: use fast small unit, i used Gobling, to make him advance slower, each time Collosus tries to kill a Goblin he stands still and the time for Collossus to stand up and go foraward again takes 2 sec or somthin, so with fast respawin Goblings runnin at the Collosus = win.

5) seems that unit can have only 1 status effect applied (stun, burn, etc. and seems that same with rage/protect)
6) seems that stunned units do not fly up in the air

nice game... Good graphics and pick-up-and-play UI...
Anybody got ideas on how to beat that BF boss monster at the end?

Instead of the diamond showing "this guy has some accessory," how about a thumbnail of the actual accessory? Then we can see what everyone has without clicking to everyone's accessory screen.

Raben Fader : for colossus, just get some melee troops (I used Amazon + anubis), and a lot of ranged, who will hit, retreat, hit, retreat. Rage helps a lot too. It's easy.
For beast king and end of hope : omega-seal Iron fortress + Regen. And it's unkillable. For swordmaster, ranged units will kill him fast, protected by the fortress, for beast, just use titans to deal damages.

Quite simple game for basic levels. No management at all. Just send everyone to attack. (even no spells needed) In beginning: some tough guys and rdd, then some levels with only tough guys or with swarm (zergging). Only interesting level is with black wolf. Good thing is to mention that you can put your wolf so that it receives only 1 hit. This will give you extra time needed.
Overall:
1) a bit annoying that some images are 8bit and some have pretty good graphics.
2) freaking annoying way of using magic. It is much better not to use it at all if possible. Why not add hotkey or extra panel?
3) Hero is useless after first three missions.
4) no information on how to unlock units.

Hell, is it even possible to kill the Colossus? He even kills my Omega-Seal-Black-Dragon with ease. Or that swordmaster. She heals herself for about 250 per second (I think). The Undead Beast King is fast as hell (well, maybe because it's a "White Tiger", just more overpowered), which means he will be at your side of the battlefield in no time, which means he will be able to damage your hero in no time, which means your hero will die in no time, which means you'll lose in no time. And here is the (maybe) biggest problem in Epic War 5: Your hero sucks. His/her damage is irrelevant. His (or her) HP are awfully low (White Tiger, Golem, Death, Phoenix, Black Dragon,... They all have more health). How is your hero supposed to be a hero, when he dies just by looking at him?!

Have to say, the bosses were fun, but everything else was disappointing.
The art was great, I liked it.
But the story, the fact that your hero is pretty useless, and the maps disappointed me quite abit =/ other things too but those are the major ones.

Honestly, I loved the first 2 Epic War games and the 3rd were fine, but only the first 2 felt truly epic to me.
The control scheme has changed to something awkward (thanks for that <.<), the graphics have been dulled down, the storyline neutered (as DevilLordJ said: the elves join the skull knight just because he killed a troll?).
It just feels rushed and neutered overall, with the exception of the upgrade system (which I honestly downright love).
It's sad to be disappointed by a series that started out amazing and has been taking a turn for the worse ever since :(

JUst a question. When this game is available to download. Will it only be able to play on the CPU? Will there be any way at all to play it on the PSP? Mine's hacked so I can download any plug-in needed. I just would love to play this game everywhere I go ^_^

I don't know why there are so many complaints about this game. Personally I think it is a 5 / 5. True it may not be as good as version 2 but then neither are any others. Even so, still a great game. Dunno what ya'll whining on like bitches for so much, you haven't had to pay for none of this and it's a challenging game on the later levels.

Story has huge potential but isn't utilizing it. I was super exited when I saw the continent map, because I thought that there would be a great story and lots of levels. Instead, there were only 3 battles per continent. Units spawn way too quick, and enemies don't send waves. Also, this needs a castle to protect. The hero death thing is a little weird. It could still work, just the game would be better with a castle. I really like the leveling system where each unit gets their own special level bonuses. However, I think leveling should go back to gold and have more upgrades available. Each unit receiving its own exp is like the hero death; it could work, but it would be better without. One last thing: the game's pace I think is too fast. I know that's VERY subjective because some people like faster games, but the EW series is a strategy thing.

Epic monologue from hero, to make his or her strength seem more astounding...While s/he sits behind an army of creatures that are stronger than they.

Rudy Sudarto your response to D Swabeys comment annoyed me. I agree with him completly. Your statement "some tester said it was the best art yet". Is irrelevet in this situation. It doesn't ultimatly matter what "some tester" thought it does matter however what the gaming community thinks. The game itself in the storyline sense is dull and seems too convienient. So the Elves creature of light join the dark undead skull knight because he killed a troll...... The battles were definitly more enjoyable when we had to destroy the enemys castle anyway. The game feels rushed and the only thing I think you've done well is the upgrade system. Now that you can choose what gets improved and that the upgrade points are seperate to the different units made it much easier to build up where your units were weak. This game could be awesome but like I said it seems like you've rushed it. It was a real shame to me as I enjoyed epic war 1-4 but like many kongregaters was let down by this one...

im srry but this is the worst game in its serie seriousely at least in the other one your castle had to be destroyed i mean the other games u kept on respawning here u just die. its pretty good but not epic or even great

This one is so cool but less skill some items are very interesting but only one item per characters... Maybe more will be better. When the hero die it's over and in high level the hero can't stand in front so maybe more powerfull skill and more slot for the hero.
The world map is nice but i find the flag to big and the small soldier to select a stage is not appropriate i think.
And finally all the boss stage are very fun too bad we can't have them in our team to fight like the King of hell. But very funny !

Hero dies mission failed. frustrating. having to individually click each warrior to send forwards and backwards each time irks me. A few times now my hero has died when I have forgotten to send him back. The game itself isnt bad and i would give it 4/5 which IS a good score but there are little tweaks here and there that could of made the game much better

Tip for the developer: Try making the game as flawless as it can, for example like the Learn 2 Fly 2 which is nearly perfect so again good job and hoping for epic war 6...........

EW5 bug: if u build more then one "castledeffence" - deffender spawn only by first one, if all 10(?) respawnt, do suizide-bomber units not respawn (it stay that u have 10, but they dont run out). "Trial 2 Go!Go! Power Goblins" caused by me almost freeze-lags, even if I take all possible option-grafik to minimum, only in this one level/stage. Wich-buff-aktive-timer would be nice! Aktiv-hero-bind-to-place-buttom would be nice (sometimes he rush bcs of missclicks by casts). What do dark-Elementar atack? can't find any difference with it, some little faq ingame about buff/debuffs would be nice (Rang, x% plus or minus, x damage, x deffence)

Is it me or do heroes become completely useless about 75% into the game. If i let my hero into the battle for even a moment he dies within 2-3 seconds. Also when I try to pull him out of battle the 1 second delay before he listens to the command is usually lethal.

I really like the Epic War series but i think this is kinda a quickie. I see the boss units as having bad pixelation and that the bosses are quite frankly Damn OP. The melee classes just are not that useful because of the huge amount of damage that the bosses can throw and the ranged classes seem to be the best in the game. I Also found that the game required little to no input from the user if you attack move , move your hero to the left then press M and go have a sandwich. :D overall i would rate this 6/10 because it doesnt meet the high standard that the other epic wars set.

Aww, now i feel bad for saying that this is bad. Well, it is still good, but the epicness is mostly gone. I personally think this will be the downfall of Epic War. Unless, Rudy, you do a miracle save if there is going to be ew6. Still love your games. FAN 4EVER!

Seriously guys, im looking at the freakin comments and all i see is "GRAPHICS BAD", "NEEDS THIS", "TOTAL FAIL", its a beta, that means the game isnt COMPLETE so basically you should just hold your horses and let the game upgrade

For all of those having trouble with the colossus have 3 ranged units and 3 low spawn time units (goblins hobbits etc). Keep kiting the colossus and cast rage on your ranged units while the squishy people tank.
It helps to put electricity element on your spear men to stun his units as they spawn.
I used hobbit, goblin, vampire swordsman, archers, centaurs, dark wizard dude. This formation also beats most "super boss stages" For isntance end of hope.
Against most other titan stages like the Iron fortress use fully upgraded vampires to cast regeneration on your titan units while you have freeze+stun enchanted ranged units dealing damage from afar. upvote if you find usefull
