EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6

If you're wondering why the reviews are mixed, it's because EDF 6 used Epic Games' online servers so you needed an Epic account to go online. It's fixed now and does not need Without spoiling anything because EDF 6 is best played blind. Despite your victory over the Primers in EDF 5, the Primers will still win regardless. But the arrogance of the Primers and their need for a perfect victory is the downfall you will exploit to defeat them. DLC 1 of EDF 6 will make it clear why. The Earth Defense Force gameplay loop is being thrown challenges that you and friends have to solve by bringing specific loadouts. It can be more enemies, unique versions of enemies, unique enemy compositions, etc. Each enemy has weakness that can be exploited but with so many enemies and only two weapons, you and your friends have to cover the weaknesses of each other's loadout but not every loadout can beat every mission so you have to experiment based on your experiences fighting enemies. With EDF 6, it is the best EDF by addressing every weakness EDF 5 had. EDF 5 didn't have that much enemy variety compared to EDF 4.1 but 6 has more or less than twice the amount of enemies 5 had. It makes loadouts require more thought to be put in them. Enemies can feel oppressive if you don't know how they work but once you do, they feel extremely fair and well designed. Enemies can be similar looking but act and have different strengths and weaknesses. 5 had the issue where the music felt generic but the devs tried and it made playing the game super enjoyable. Unfortunately, reading the music titles and listening to them is a spoiler so I recommend completing the game first. The last thing I didn't like that much about 5 was that story didn't feel as utterly hopeless as 4 did but 6 fixes that because the Primers will go all out in 6. One neat thing that they changed was that some buildings have commercial fronts like some buildings can have a restaurant, bookstore, butcher, and there are even gas stations with a convenience store. You can't enter them but it helps the world feel lived in rather than buildings being rectangular skyscrapers. An issue I have with 6 is that the optimization is a lot worse than 5. You're already locked to 60 fps but it can drop 30 when enemy numbers are in the hundreds in the moment.

Really bad, by miles the worst edf game i played so far, edf 4.1 and 5 are far beyond this trash. Mission structure. class changes. really went in the wrong direction.

The joy to frustration level on this game is like 3:2. The final boss is unfortunately, not very good. Some of the other enemies added to this game that weren't in 5 are, not very good. There are a lot of enemies in this game that prevent you from simply playing the game by means of bullet shields stopping you from doing damage, attacks that stop you from moving, possessing plot armour and plot gates that stop you from damaging them. A lot of the cool weapons and play styles are gated by 40-50 hours of play and grinding (of which, you need the Loot Master Mod installed or else you're talking about adding 10-15 hours of playtime to that just to collect boxes). Some of the twists in the game and meta narratives are a bit of fun, and if you've played EDF 5 it has lots of references. This game should only be thought of as DLC for EDF 5. I can't recommend this game as a standalone experiences as it took me weeks of on and off play with a friend to get through the campaign once on Wing Diver on normal mode and the grand finale was THAT final boss!

Это KINO! EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 это эволюция пятой части почти во всём. Миссии более эпичные, классы более самостоятельные, управление более отзывчивое. Многие ругают игру за повторы миссий и врагов из пятой части, но мне кажется, что в данном случае хорошо смешали старое с новым. Причём очень круто, когда в некоторых миссиях из пятой от тебя ожидается то, что ты воспользуешься знаниями и изменишь ход миссии. В целом сюжет в этой части не просто лучше, он на другом уровне. В пятой части часто забывали о том, что появилось новое оружие, которым всё уничтожали, тут об этом помнят по большей части. Оружие в игре стало гораздо приятней использовать и новый баланс сделал многие пушки юзабельными. Все новые враги мне понравились, они круто используют физический движок и реально чувствуются особенными, с ними весело сражаться. Ни разу я не чувствовал, что у нового врага ленивый дизайн. Есть и ложка дёгтя. Синхронизация в мультиплеере очень плохая и вообще бывает люди вылетают. Ты никогда не знаешь, где на самом деле твои напарники, у тебя они всегда стреляют в землю или идут в стенку. Решения этому я в интернете не нашёл и судя по всему, это проблема не только у меня. Даже так, нам с другом было очень весело проходить эту часть. 146 миссия была адом, который мы преодолели поздравляя друг друга. В общем, я крайне рекомендую эту часть, это вершина серии.

It is absolutely fun to play with someone else. The enemies are funny and the whole game itself it just very entertaining. Even when repeating missions because of death it's just an absolute blast. A very fun pass time.

群がる敵をなぎ倒していく爽快なTPS。 自分はウイングダイバーを主に使っていますが、前作よりも飛びづらくなった代わりに火力面の自由度がアップしていて良い感じ。 前作では貧弱だったレンジャーも武器枠が増えていくらか強くなりました。 ストーリーも評判通り面白かったです。 前作では役に立ってなかったオペ子ちゃんがきちんと仕事してくれるのがなにげに嬉しい。 とはいえ不満も増えました。 むやみに硬い・倒しにくい敵。 とくにネイカー、あの性能で大量に出てくるのはどうにもおかしい…。 オンラインの不安定さや同期ズレの悪化も、どうしてこうなった。 あといいかげん、デフォルトでパスコード付き部屋は非表示にしてほしい。 大半のプレイヤーが入れない部屋が表示されてても邪魔なだけですわ。

When you can play the game, it's fun. Crashes alot and common workarounds don't work. This is only the 30th iteration of this game, this time they didn't get it quite right.
