~The Story~
After Dark Tyrant was defeated, peace was restored on the square Earth—but now, it has been broken into pieces once again. We watched the skies, assuming any new enemies would come from above—which is why we were surprised when the supermassive "Gaiarch" emerged from below ground, shattering the Earth into pieces. YOU are the legendary Commander that once saved our planet. Now, we need you to lead another team to save our Earth again. The EDF never back away from defending the Earth, be it round or square—so let's go to the rescue!

ストーリーに感動して泣きました。オススメです。 四角い見た目でもテーマが深いです。 4キャラを切り替えて軽快に敵を倒せて楽しいです。 本家と違い、仲間を拾う以外にアイテムを集める必要がないので気楽に遊べます。 キャラの試し打ち用ステージがありますが、地下判定らしく必殺技が地下用に置き換えられてしまうキャラが多いのが欠点です。
没有地球防卫军铁雨好玩,里面的机甲什么的都不能召唤,只能用关卡内提供的,而且这个价格不如买绝地遣兵2,剧情的话还行而且中文配音挺有意思的,但是那个穿熊猫服装的那个恶心的配音就不能正常点吗,越听越恶心但是他的技能清怪还挺强的,真想单独关闭他的语音。打折了再买,原价太贵。
Enjoyed the first one but holy hell the mission 11 is already pure madness and when I unlocked the Japanese maid with her electric crossbow I knew I was falling in love with this game! Pure insanity in all the best ways and plays perfectly on my steam deck!
If you enjoyed the first World Brothers, you'll love 2 because they improved upon basically everything in the first game. It's more fun to play, it's more dynamic, characters have more things they can do, and generally it's a huge step up. It's basically the sequel you always wish for, but rarely get, which is great because I've always liked D3P and their games, and I like to see them do things well. If you like action games where you have to fight large number of enemies and sometimes bosses, if you like games where you can ride fun vehicles, if you enjoy large, destructible environments, you'll have a fantastic time. The abilities are all really fun, and their special attacks are all great. The music, just like the first, is absolutely excellent. The soundtrack is just as wonderful and solid as the first. All in all, I'd recommend this without hesitation, especially if you like EDF or World Brothers. But it's also just a really fun game on its own, with a sense of humour and just enough self-awareness. It's got hours upon hours of content, and it's extra-fun with friends, which it's also easy to play with. Just a great game in general.
Its probably the best blocky-game I've ever played. I wish the AI was a better though, like I wish they wouldn't hop on your vehicle with you. its surprisingly a lot more chaotic when you're swapping between 4 characters. The buildings...surprisingly take good punishment. Sometimes it'll leave holes in the buildings. I'd imagine thats what it'd feel like trying to take apart actual nano blocks too. Cons that I had... - The navigators talk too much, Yeah i know I can swap characters, you dont have to keep reminding me. - no vehicle summons. I can't call something like a NIX unless it's on a certain map. - sometimes you get stuck in mech vehicles. Pretty hard to wiggle out of. - You can't micromanage your team mates. You have 3 guys following you, but you can't leave them in 1 spot and leave. it has a recall button at least. Even though its blocky, its actually the best looking EDF Game I've seen...But only if you're flying. The explosions and junk might clutter your field of view. More complaints that I have with the game after finishing.... July 8, 2026 - I wish the story characters you got had names on them. Like if you got Slugger Sister, it isn't automatically renamed as "Jackie" or something. - The game is in fact localized, its to the point where I'm pretty sure Jackie does have different dialogue in comparison to the Japanese dub. I'm also pretty sure Fyta isn't his actual name, because I never heard Fyta mentioned once. - For a rated T game, the characters sure do swear a bit more often then I expected. - You and your allys need more stuff to say, either that, or they just talk too much durring fights. - If you rescue a character, they don't keep your gear if you already rescued that character previously.
Another great homage and a world more stable game than EDF6. Still top contender for best solo EDF game, and now its even better/varied choices than the first World Brothers! More of everything and nothing too bad until you aim for higher difficulties. Really one of the best casual EDF intros for both returning and newer players, if you can stand the Voxel style and terrible personalities within.
I really enjoyed WB1 and I think I like this one even better. The graphics are charming and nice to look at and the cast is funny and likable. WB2 was a very fun time, my favorite EDF spinoff tbh. [quote]A request going forward with EDF on PC, please go back to normal Steam multiplayer services, like you had in all the games before EDF6. It worked perfectly fine. I had no issue playing EDF online on PC until EDF6 came along. In 6, I'd experience multiple desyncs in a very short amount of time - don't you think that's strange? It makes no sense that people should have to suffer EOS with an unstable and laggy connection in multiplayer just out of consideration for the whoppin' 5 players who decided to buy the game on EGS. Make EOS secondary. Most of the EDF players are here on Steam anyway, so make Steamworks MP the default service. It's more stable, there are little to no desyncs, and it doesn't require an extra login.[/quote]
This game is a absolute ♥♥♥♥ post. 10/10 Please.... Don't listen to the English VA
Very underrated co-op game. If you liked EDF in the past, then this game is a strong addition to the series.
