Thousands of giant insects and aliens once again ravage the earth, and only the Earth Defense Force can stop them. Defend the city of New Detroit against an infestation bigger and meaner than ever before. Destroy these monsters at all costs, even if it means turning entire city blocks into rubble! Enjoy raw arcade shooter satisfaction on a gigantic modern scale. Collect over 300 weapons: assault rifles, rocket launchers, energy weapons, sniper rifles, grenade launchers and more! Play with 4 upgradeable armor types: Jetpack, Battle, Tactical, and Trooper. Experience Massive replayability through arcade style scoring, tons of weapons to collect, and multiple difficulty levels in every game mode! In addition, the game also features a six player Survival mode that pits a human squad against a nonstop onslaught of the largest enemies the aliens have to offer. New Detroit’s giant bug problem is unavoidable, and mankind’s last hope lies with the Earth Defense Force.

Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon and the soldiers are equipped better than ever in the latest cult classic iteration that follows in the footsteps of Earth Defense Force 2017 (Japanese Title “Earth Defense Force 3” developed by Sandlot), and Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon continues the rich history and hardcore fun of the series.

I've wanted to love this game since the day it came out as I loved 2017, edf2, and more recently 4.1. This is a decent game in its own right, but aside from premise doesn't have the spirit of other edf titles. This reminds me more of the take the world seriously and a more western approach to incremental upgrades …

Amazing concept but not so good execution. The atmosphere is weak. I don't really feel the danger of an alien invasion. And I don't know much about Earth Defense Force series but, seriously, is this humanity's best strategy to defeat aliens? To send a bunch of guys against millions of huge insects and giant robots?

Amazing concept but not so good execution. The atmosphere is weak. I don't really feel the danger of an alien invasion. And I don't know much about Earth Defense Force series but, seriously, is this humanity's best strategy to defeat aliens? To send a bunch of guys against millions of huge insects and giant robots? Gameplay is repetitive and guns feel like water pistol. Eventually I quit playing at the middle of second chapter. I hope someday we can see a big budget alien invasion title.

Insect Armageddon - Inevitable Disappointment

Welp, here it comes, the first disappointing entry I've played so far in the EDF series. What makes Insect Armageddon's fun so flawed? Mind you, it's still fun, but...

Less levels? Check. Less outlandish and interesting character classes? Check. Less enemies? Check. Longer levels muddled with needless objectives? Check.

However! Cheeky dialogue? Check. Improved graphical capabilities? Surprisingly checked.

Welp, here it comes, the first disappointing entry I've played so far in the EDF series. What makes Insect Armageddon's fun so flawed? Mind you, it's still fun, but...

Less levels? Check. Less outlandish and interesting character classes? Check. Less enemies? Check. Longer levels muddled with needless objectives? Check.

However! Cheeky dialogue? Check. Improved graphical capabilities? Surprisingly checked.

For those simple bits, it seems Vicious Cycle was out to bring a Western touch to the EDF series; however, they failed to catch what made it so much fun, with it missing the variety and crazy fun of the previous games. If you've played through the EDF series though and need more of a fix, it's still a fair bit of fun!

Hilarious and fun, through and through. Just like Earth Defence force 2017 before it. Excellent fun to have with a buddy or two. 4 Character classes to choose form and to level up. Fantastic game. Only 9.99 on STEAM atm. Check it out!
