To save our precious earth from any alien attacks, from vicious giant insects who have once again come back, we send out all our forces and won't cut them any slack, THE EDF DEPLOYS!
It's not the most polished game out there, it does not have the best graphics, the game is quite frankly a bugfest (in more ways than one ), but it has tremendous personality, good re-playability and memorable quotes and shout outs, it's clear that the localisation team put in great effort to preserve the spirit of the game. It's a fun game to just play with your friends and mess around with.
The Pc version is how the game was supposed to be in first place. The framerate is finally decent and you can play smoothly one of the best shooter of all time. Don't consider this as a traditional FPS, this is a truly arcade experience, this is Space Invaders in 2016.
It's like Serioussam, Gundam, and Starship Troopers had an orgy. It's crazy, ridiculous, and if your fingers don't hurt after playing this. Then you're doin it wrong.
EDF is a marvellous game, with tons and tons of content. You shoot millions of insects, robots, godzillas and dragons with a huge variety of guns. What is there not to like.
The graphics are last gen, but when you see the true amount of enemies on your screen, you'll understand why. The only real gripe I have is that the FOV is not adjustable and too narrow, which kills you more often than it should.
Writing this review after wrote review for Anthem. While anthem is more polished but failed in execution, EDF is less polished but far more succesful in the execution.
Overview:
Not-so-serious but very action heavy shooter. (Can pass as game in Nintendo console, if you know what i mean)
Graphic aside, the gameplay feels solid, the battles are satisfying, lots of explosion (which is good in this case), and is surprisingly entertaining and funny at times.
This game deserve much more attention.
Music:
Not music with stellar rating or genius author, but fits the game and the tension of the game perfectly.
Story:
Love it.
While the story might be just good at it's best, the narration and voice actor is well-fit for the game.
I often find myself paying attention to the story for the LOL of it. Player with more open-minded perspective for gaming will surely be able to appreciate the script and the story.
Gameplay:
Game offer many tactical depth especially at higher difficulties and
despite it's simple playable character game-play design, the skillcap over each character is very2 high such that the same stage can seem far different when played by beginner or by expert player.
It's a great satisfaction by itself when you managed to pull a victory in what seems to be almost impossible mission itself.
The coop in this game is fantastic especially if each player know what they are doing, and they do really change your approach on how to finish a mission. Even if your teammate are beginners/so-so, you don't have to think hard, just Mission-Start and enjoy the laugh.
FYI, if you don't like the coop the game can be cleared solo just fine.
The minus:
1. The armor grind, however this is not really a big minus, as you can clear Hardest with just 1k~1.5k armor or so.
2. Bugs and Glitches, it happens sometimes, but not to the point to be stressed about.
3. Some weapon hitting yourself by just-firing it. This can turn tides of the battle against you. Does not happen often and only few weapon have this glitches, can be laughed off as funny moment.
This is in response to SidAlpha's review in which he says, "I am not going to go along with the rank and file fan boys that are giving this game rave reviews. " The fact that he had to mention that he is going against the grain makes it sound like everyone who plays this game and enjoys it is a fanboy...WRONG! I had never played the series before this game, and I had no idea what to expect. I say the game IS worth the price, especially since it was discounted 30% on release anyways.
That being said, the game's graphics are from a previous age, but the content is there. There is really no reason not to love the game if your not absolutely obsessed with presentation. There are 4 unique classes, hundreds of weapons, over 80 missions, and great game play. I am the consumer and I say yes!!! EDF!!!
Read the review by PC gamer, sums it up quite nicely, they gave it 80/100
This is my game to let off steam. It is not a beautiful game, but it is like playing an 80s japanese monster movie .. so bad its good kinda.
But seriously .. it is surprisingly funny, it has a HUGE amount of single and multiplayer content and is just simply fun!
Also, there are not enough games where you shoot giant insects .. they deserve it!
Don't listen to the critics. Watch some of the gameplay on YouTube and then decide. If that interests you at all then I guarantee you're going to love it.
I've been waiting years for a version of this to come to the PC and I am not disappointed. The port is a faithful transition of an addictive game with diverse enemies, weapons that pack grunt, and completely destructible environments. Also, I actually like the graphics and think they're as good as they can be with such a huge amount of in-game action.
I wish there were more games like this but it takes a company that thinks outside the square to make one. It's a shame that some people can't see the cleverness or appreciate the satire.
One negative is that I have my PC connected to my TV and had problems changing the game's resolution and menu text size. Eventually I sorted these out with a patch by Natrox on the Steam forums. Hopefully an official patch is forthcoming.
