HPP: "Earth Defence Force: World Brothers 2 is a fantastic time and absolutely worth picking up for Earth Defence Force addicts like myself or anyone who fancies a smooth entry point to this legendary series. It continues to make smart refinements to the series’ core gameplay loops that make it more accessible, fluid, and dynamic than ever before while also getting rid of some of the rough edges that could make the mainline entries a bit of a chore to play."
"Earth Defense Force spin-off games have been hit or miss. EDF: World Brothers, however, struck the right balance between new ideas and classic EDF gameplay – not to mention adding the fun of crossover characters and enemies from EDFs past. Three years later, Yuke’s and D3Publisher have delivered a sequel in Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. The new game is much bigger than its predecessor, but bigger isn’t always better," says Co-Optimus.
MonsterVIne: "Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 builds on the voxel-filled chaos of its predecessor with an all-new story, more characters, expanded enemy variety, and improved underground mechanics."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "In a way, I get it: there isn’t a lot that differs Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 from its predecessor. It’s a bunch of new levels and characters, with the added benefit of feeling a bit more polished than before. With that being said, just being able to enjoy more of a shockingly competent formula with slightly better visual effects, less glitches and even more content is already great in my books. It’s still tons of fun, so “more of the same” in this case is a good thing."
