Tin Salamunic: Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair can be viewed in one of two ways: You may call it a messy, partially-broken, derivative third-person shooter, or you may view it as a brilliant homage to classic Japanese monster movies that offers countless hours of old-school fun. Personally, I find myself in the latter camp. It’s an absurdly addictive shooter that simply doesn’t care for fancy graphics or technical polish, and it’s one of the few games that can actually get away with it.
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.
Kinglink writes "The Earth is under attack again. This time insects are invading, it’s time to defend the Earth and everyone’s looking to you to join the Earth Defense Force. Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair has it all, big moments, giant insects and a ton of action. Will it be a blockbuster or a B-movie action flick?"
