EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: WORLD BROTHERS

just doesnt feel like a modern edf game, its a little bit too kid like, the voxels, violently vibrant colors. the bad voice acting is one of earth defense force's staples, you know that they dont take it serious but it feels like they did with this game. its a good game. just not an earth defense force game

Geez!. How many missions this game has?

If you can get this game on sale it is a decent little bit of fun, but if you feel the need to 100% games this one is a straight 1/10. You have to play through every mission 5 times over and get all of the characters and weapons which is just a bunch of mission resetting. Also there is 1 co-op achievement so you either have to find someone else who has the game or buy it for someone else to get that :)

Was really pleasantly surprised with this one. Went into it not really knowing what to expect. Turns out to be a really solid EDF game with "Hero Shooter" elements. Rather than having your standard 4 classes Ranger, Wing Diver, Air Rader and Fencer. You instead have a whole selection of different characters to choose from. Each with their own unique abilities. This not only includes your standard EDF classes but EDF classes from every EDF game up till this games release. We're talking Global Defense Force (EDF1) all the way through to EDF5 and including spin off games Insect Armageddon and Iron Rain. Giving this game a very Avengers Endgame/Super Smash bros feel. You will also be fighting enemies from those games too. The writing is pretty enjoyable and very light hearted. I had a great time playing through this one and I would 100% Recommend if youre on the fence about trying it out. Especially if youre an EDF fan whos played all the games.

I'd recommend skipping this one and moving to 2nd game (or whatever the latest one is at the time of reading). Mechanically and visually this game is cool, but 2nd game is the same game, just improved. [list] [*] Multiplayer is dead, so you're missing half the charm. [*] I doubt many people will want to play this game twice (mostly because nothing much changes) [*] It lacks difficulty until you unlock it (locked difficulties are a mistake), and you'll be unlocking it solo in this game. It just feels bland when not even the dumbest mistakes are punished. [/list] I think the biggest strength/weakness is the balance of units/weapons. Some of your finds to be very good and many will be boring. I think for this system to shine the game needs higher initial difficulty so players can actually feel the value of stronger units/weapons. For instance the concept of collecting characters is initially cool, but about half of all characters are recolored duplicates with slightly different stats (everything else the same). Many of the remaining half have duplicate abilities. For example: 2 characters have different dodges with similar cooldown, but one is faster and has longer distance. There's a 3rd one with slightly longer cooldown, but even faster and more charges. One of them is clearly useless, but the other 2 don't feel better (apart from getting around faster) because the game's difficulty doesn't set up any threats for dodges to be useful against. You can also see it as a strenght, because this makes it more kid-friendly.

EDF! EDF! EDF!
