Earth Defense Force 5 is a strange creature. Not unlike the giant alien monsters you fight, it seems out of place in this modern world. What looks and feels like something pulled straight out an early 2000s arcade is fleshed out into a full game with a pretty ridiculous number of missions and amount of replayability, but the question is – is it fun to play? The answer, of course, is yes.
ESTNN Writes: "“EDF! EDF!”, my friend and I cheer into the microphones late at night as hordes of ants, wasps, and frogs with laserguns threaten to overrun our position. The screen is littered with the remains of their comrades, making it hard to see how many they are.
In moments like these, I remember why I love video games, when a friend and I have at it with the same glee we had before we became bitter adults. Even if those games are just about shooting bugs with bigger and bigger guns.
In short: Earth Defense Force 5 is excellent, and you should grab someone dear to you to shoot some bugs."
It really is. The dialog is complete hilarity. Every person is just so dumb and nonsensical. 5/5
Because blowing up UFO's never gets old.
Satisfying visual feedback, so many games have lost this principle and it's sad. Almost everything you do has an interesting and Satisfying reaction, making everything physics based is the key to that, watching everything fly, crumble, and react to your weapons, and slowly increasing you weapons capabilities to do so to an absurd degree, just keeps ramping up the satisfaction of how good it feels to play this game.
Games are great, they may not be the greatest visually, but man do they really push the hardware they’re on cpu wise
