NZG:
The first Earth Defense Force came out in 2003, and has spawned anywhere between three and seven sequels, depending on how you classify remakes and ports. The gameplay back then largely consisted of running around and shooting giant bugs. Thirteen years later and it’s still about running around and shooting giant bugs. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Plotwise, there’s not much. The giant insects have returned, and are causing an understandable level of mayhem. You’re part of the Earth Defense Force, dedicated to stopping them. And then… No, actually, that’s it. Enjoy!
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
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?"
The batch of games set to headline the March Humble Monthly bundle have been revealed.
