EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: WORLD BROTHERS

If you can get this game on sale it is a decent little bit of fun, but if you feel the need to 100% games this one is a straight 1/10. You have to play through every mission 5 times over and get all of the characters and weapons which is just a bunch of mission resetting. Also there is 1 co-op achievement so you either have to find someone else who has the game or buy it for someone else to get that :)

Geez!. How many missions this game has?

just doesnt feel like a modern edf game, its a little bit too kid like, the voxels, violently vibrant colors. the bad voice acting is one of earth defense force's staples, you know that they dont take it serious but it feels like they did with this game. its a good game. just not an earth defense force game

EDF! EDF! EDF!

本編のEDFと同じと思わないほうがいいですね。後悔することになります。 操作性が悪すぎで、クセの強い操作方法を覚えないと満足に移動もできない。 チュートリアルはレンジャーから始まりますが、操作しても初期の場所から動きません。 最初はバグとしか思えない移動の遅さを感じます。 しかしこれは調べたらバグではないらしく、まずコントローラーのスティックを倒すと、速度ゼロから気付かないレベルで徐々に加速が始まっており、そのままずっと１方向にレバーを倒し続けていれば徐々に動いていく仕様になっています。 また、移動の途中でカメラ視点を動かすと加速がリセットされ、最初の速度ゼロ状態に戻ります。 移動するには再度そこから１方向にレバーを倒し続け、加速するのをのんびり待っていないといけません。 これが死ぬほどストレスです。足に重りでもつけているのか？と思います。 そしてカメラ操作が止まってから数秒経たないと、武器も撃てないようになっています。 こういうよく分からない仕様があるため、ＥＤＦ本編ではレンジャーの基本だった引き撃ちがまったく出来ません。あとマウスの戻る、進むボタンにキー操作を割り振れない。 なんでこんな操作感なのにレビューが好評なのかまったく理解できません。 私はスタートして３分で返金申請しました。 ＥＤＦシリーズが大好きだっただけに、非常に残念です。

I'd recommend skipping this one and moving to 2nd game (or whatever the latest one is at the time of reading). Mechanically and visually this game is cool, but 2nd game is the same game, just improved. [list] [*] Multiplayer is dead, so you're missing half the charm. [*] I doubt many people will want to play this game twice (mostly because nothing much changes) [*] It lacks difficulty until you unlock it (locked difficulties are a mistake), and you'll be unlocking it solo in this game. It just feels bland when not even the dumbest mistakes are punished. [/list] I think the biggest strength/weakness is the balance of units/weapons. Some of your finds to be very good and many will be boring. I think for this system to shine the game needs higher initial difficulty so players can actually feel the value of stronger units/weapons. For instance the concept of collecting characters is initially cool, but about half of all characters are recolored duplicates with slightly different stats (everything else the same). Many of the remaining half have duplicate abilities. For example: 2 characters have different dodges with similar cooldown, but one is faster and has longer distance. There's a 3rd one with slightly longer cooldown, but even faster and more charges. One of them is clearly useless, but the other 2 don't feel better (apart from getting around faster) because the game's difficulty doesn't set up any threats for dodges to be useful against. You can also see it as a strenght, because this makes it more kid-friendly.
