Earth Defense Force 5 is an excellent sequel, and tons of fun, just like its predecessor. If you have a gaming PC, just get 4.1 for now (or wait for 5), as the price is great, and it's so much better than the console versions. If you are a console owner, then there is no reason not to get this game if you like crazy, over-the-top action - if it sounds like it will be fun to you, it probably will be.
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
"The video game publisher PQube and game developer SANDLOT are today super excited and pleased to announce that the physical edition of "Earth Defense Force 5" is now available physically in EU and NA for the PS4." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
I just wish these games had higher production values.
Awesome game that.
EDF is absurd, yet it really makes it work.
