About the game

What players say
Was really pleasantly surprised with this one. Went into it not really knowing what to expect. Turns out to be a really solid EDF game with "Hero Shooter" elements.

This not only includes your standard EDF classes but EDF...

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
