EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5 Reviews

Terrible mouse handling. There is either some sort of smoothing or negative acceleration which makes aiming with a mouse feel awful.

You can act like you are kamen rider riding motorcycle and shooting while riding it just to be fall due to the bike cant turn properly then got mangled by red ant far away from your team. 10/10 would summon bike again

Solid 3rd person shooter. Honestly the most fun I've had with a 3rd person shooter in a few years. No crafting. No hub-world. No bs rpg mechanics. Shoot bugs, get more guns to shoot more bugs.

Welcome to Earth Defense Force: a game where you shoot giant bugs, colossal robots, and who knows what else (we’re still not sure) to save the Earth from an “all-out attack” by aliens whose primary goal seems to be making sure your ammo supply runs out. Set in the ultra-plausible near-future-past of 2022, this game promises endless action, intense warfare, and... well, that’s about it. Gameplay is as deep as a kiddie pool. You stand, shoot, and dodge giant space ants that seem far too large to exist in any reality that involves basic biology. The story? Forget about it. It’s just an excuse for more chaos, and the plot’s primary function is to repeatedly shout “STAND AND FIGHT FOR HUMANITY!” in your face like a motivational poster with a machine gun attached. The graphics look like they were ripped from a 2007 PowerPoint presentation, and the AI is so predictable that you’ll start to question if the "enemies" are actually just cardboard cutouts being moved around by someone off-screen. In conclusion, if you're in the mood for a game where the only strategy is shooting until your eyes bleed, The EDF! has you covered. Otherwise, you might want to let Earth fend for itself this time.

Average EDF mission_ - We need to protect the civilians and the city! Get in there and kill those monsters! - *Proceeds to demolish half the city with bombing runs/absurd amounts of rockets/orbital laser strikes/howitzer shells/etc* - 90% casualties. Acceptable losses. Mission accomplished! Four different classes that actually play very differently from one another, lots of stuff to shoot, lots of fun weapons to play with, lots of cool vehicles too, and grinding is actually very fun, and even better with coop. Helldivers II still ain't got nothing on this game.

*plays with randoms* everyone spams "EDF!" proceeds to get our butts handed to us by unholy creatures. 10/10 would die alongside them again

This game rocks. For $15 its a crazy steal. Its like if someone tried to make the best ps2 game of all time. Its jank but its great jank. And the humor lands instead of feeling like they are trying too hard. The voice lines are great.

Yeah its really fun, but if you are not playing with other people its a goddamn slog to get past some missions. Plus more than half the time you'll not get ANY loot for missions espically if you play like a sniper cuse you only get like 10 seconds to collect shit after mission complete. For real for real, fun idea, fun game, dogshit frustrating to play alone. I don't even think you get achievements for the missions unless your playing online cuse I'm on mission 39 right now and im pretty sure thats atleast 5% of the game completed, dig?

This is the first EDF game I ever played. Bought it on sale cause it looked cool. I don't have the free time I once did, so just being able to jump in and have fun without a bunch of preamble and never ending cutscenes is important to me in a game, and EDF has that in spades.

Definitely inspired Helldivers 2, but for cheap. it's also been in the market for decades. Really fun and addictive. There's some mechanical depth in the weapons like your playing a Monster Hunter game but it could just be a laid back fun game. It's also really better than EDF 4.1. Air raider class is pure bliss, just to add.
