Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 10 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Iron Rain is an offshoot of the EDF series... it's alright. After 25 hours and 30 missions, I was actually having some fun with this one. However those first 30 missions were a bore. I do not recommend this game if you haven't played the mainline Earth Defense Force Games as they are far better. Plenty of games, so so many other games are better than this one. However, if you enjoy EDF and you are curious at how this game is, definitely pick it up. You will be a bit underwhelmed, but at the same time shooting bugs is shooting bugs. It's great to turn your brain off and grind this game out sometimes. This is my favorite game series and I can't recommend it enough. See below for a quick summary ranking of all games in the series.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 21: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

I'm not joking when I say this is literally the "Bowser has all the power stars, you know what that means M." It's the edf version of that. It has like 50 people screaming voicelines constantly like this is mass effect andromeda because you're not allowed to just play the game. You're not just an edf soldier, no, you're "Closer" the survivor from the attack years ago with super special powers, something that really just feels unnecessary given the nature of an edf game is just shooting down massive hordes, having a power that just makes that easier upsets the nature of the game, you're already an insane soldier doing insane things, why do we need to justify that we're extra special at all by giving a power that just isn't meaningful in any way? Honestly it's just more strange that all these soldiers can barely gun down maybe 8 ants at the best of times. Really the biggest problem on top of this is how it has ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ orbot from sonic boom as a shopkeeper npc that will constantly spout voicelines when you want to just swap out a weapon. Then you have to buy the weapons by grinding missions to unlock the option to buy, then grind coins, then grind gems. It just doesn't really feel good, especially when you'll end up with rockets that will do less instance damage than a sniper, that does less damage overall compared to a rifle which also does more damage over time than a mini machine gun. I'm not exaggerating when you will rank up and unlock more weapons just to get a super special rocket launcher that will take firing 11 missiles into a walker enemy, only for that same enemy to fall down to a single clip from the base shotgun. So ultimately the story is just ass, the weapons feel terrible, and all around just feels mediocre and very of its time. Which I also forgot to mention the remove vehicles from being in missions most the time, it's no longer a trooper specific thing. Both flyers and troopers can pilot vehicles, which are also called down through grenade like items that charge you currency. None of these vehicles feel good either! You go from the original monster attack helicopter to this sci fi pelican looking spaceship that's unable to fire any guns, it just drops small bombs, bugs out on the controls and barely does any impactful damage. Similarly the tank has small guns now that are alright, but instead of a cannon you launch tracking missiles that will 100% of the time miss.
I can’t really put my finger on it but I actually prefer this one to the main line series and I hope yukes gets another crack at it one of these days! Helped to cure my helldivers 2 addiction..good times!
Positives: Graphics (Compared to previous titles) Customization for characters is better. Negatives: - No Air Raider Class - No mod support - Forces a command line to run the game due to multi cores or it constant crashes.
It's clear that the people who made this didn't understand why people think the EDF games are fun. The game also does not have support for higher resolutions and has no settings in the main menu, You have to start the game and watch an unskippable cutscene to change your settings. Also you navigate the menu tabs with Shift and Tab.
This is the Assault Horizon of the EDF series (Ace Combat fans know the reference). I enjoy it for what it is, and there are some really good additions and changes that the mainline series should take note of, but the parts that it gets wrong... oh man. I would have felt cheated if I had paid full price for that abysmal gunfeel. How do you get shooting giant ants wrong? Especially when you already have a template you can work with? Still, even if the game is off-center, you'll have a good time. It does do plenty enough to keep you entertained, so you'd be remiss not to try it just to see a different take on the formula. EDIT: Having played some more and having finished the campaign, I'll say the game grows on you in many ways. It's still a marathon of good steps forward and awful steps backward. At least it doesn't bait you with a mothership tease like Insect Armageddon.
fun and high quaitly
