EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 4.1 The Shadow of New Despair

I think this game is better played with friends as the difficulty spike is rather steep 20 missions in. Still, crazy to see that this game is legacy of robot alchemical drive. I might not go back to playing it, but I still respect the heck out of it for what it is.

Great stupid fun with friends. Not the most polished game though

Maybe there's a fun game in here somewhere, but I don't see it. I bought this game because I love squad-based shooters, and I thought this might be like Helldivers. While fun on a pure lizard-brain level, it gets old really quickly. You can move, shoot, and jump, you have two different weapons, and that's it. Once you shoot all the enemies in an area, you slowly jog to where the next group are (it felt like 5 mins each time) and shoot them. Lather, rinse, repeat, until you clear the level. The enemies either fall with one hit or take a ridiculous amount of punishment to go down. There are other people on your side but they ignore you and the list of commands you can impotently shout. There is a constant barrage of chatter in your ear, either your supposed teammates, some what I guess are radio announcers, or shrieking civilians. The announcers are occasionally amusing but mostly it's just irritating and serves no gameplay purpose. The overall structure is just a series of context-free levels with no story, campaign, or other interstitial content. There are other classes you can play as but I was already so bored I couldn't be bothered to try them. This could be fun to play with friends, but otherwise I see no purpose to it. Waste of money

洞窟ステージがこのゲームをクソゲーへと昇華させました。 暗くて敵も目の前も全く見えないし、バグだらけでNPCや敵が壁にめり込む、（倒せないので進行不可）壁抜けするのは当たり前。NPCはすぐプレイヤーの目の前(斜線上)に移動して 邪魔をする(勝手に死ぬ)し、狭すぎて敵の攻撃もろくに回避できず、 通路で敵の死骸が重なりすぎて障害物となり、敵に弾が当たらないのに、 敵の攻撃は死骸を貫通してくるクソ仕様。 マップ機能がないから暗すぎて道に迷うし次に行く場所が全くわからない。 そして何回も洞窟ステージを強要させられ、終盤に至っては3回以上も連続で 洞窟ステージという苦行を強要されたのでアンインストールしました。 プレイ時間の半分が洞窟で迷子になっていた時間で、ここまで不愉快になったゲームは久しぶりです。 どうテストプレイしたらこれにOKが出るのか、本気でわからないレベルのクソゲーです。

Лучшая игра во вселенной! Советую всем, защищать землю важнее всего! EDF! EDF! EDF! 10 дохлых инопланетян из 10

This game makes you feel like humanity is worth fighting for. I was crying during the final boss.

4代虽然兵种系统平衡问题比5和6明显，以及一些机制有点搞，[spoiler] 比如脚男不能跑，单人捡箱子特别坐牢（[/spoiler] 但关卡设计与丰富程度还是不错的，5和6玩腻了可以来4.1玩玩 而且这代应该是历代正传edf里剧情表现相对打的没那么惨的一部了[spoiler]不如说5代吃瘪太严重了，4代到后期才打完半数人口，edf最后几关才没有多少可用的部队差点gg（[/spoiler]

i man a helicopter that mows down bugs with a minigun and rockets, this game is godlike
