Earth Defense Force 6 Reviews
In the end, Earth Defense Force 6 maintains the status quo set by Earth Defense Force 5. The initial tone might be an immediate cause for concern, but the quick pivot to more familiar elements reinforces the idea that the team still understands what makes the game appealing. The gameplay changes are mostly miniscule to the point where only the keen-eyed will notice too many things different beyond the bestiary. With a presentation that also remains unchanged, the game lives up to the ideal that it really is "more of the same." That's exactly what most fans want, and they'll certainly be most excited to get their hands on this game. For those hoping for some kind of evolution that doesn't rob the game of what made it a cult hit, there is little hope of that happening anytime soon, considering how divisive most of the past entries were.
Earth Defense Force 6 is a sequel that refines the experience of the series and without major changes. It's a title that's sure to please longtime fans and one that first-time players can give a chance to get to know the series.

There's certainly some fun to be had in EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 but don't expect it to offer much noteworthy when you compare it to the previous couple of entries in the series. Playing it did make me excited for WORLD BROTHERS 2, though. š
If you put aside the awful introductory cutscenes and unforgivably bad framerate for a PC game, Earth Defense Force 6 is basically more Earth Defense Force, and thatās never a bad thing. A completely stupid but endearing shooter with simple controls and a really fun gameplay loop; thatās all it needs to be, at the end of the day. Would I recommend picking it up on PC over its more traditional console versions? Well, if you can put up with the crappy performance (something which can be remedied with a patch), Iād say yes. Mouse and keyboard controls on an arcade shooter will always be a welcome addition to a successful formula.
Earth Defense Force 6 provides near-endless excitement and fun. I'm having a total blast after 75+ hours already logged and not one ounce of fatigue has set in.
The main problem with EDF6 is that thereās simply too much of it. The base game includes 147 levels, each with five difficulty levels if you really want to be a completist. While itās undeniably fun to blast away at aliens, bugs, and robots, at a certain point it all feels a little repetitive. The game starts to feel like a slog of explosions, no matter what the setting is.
Earth Defense Force 6 has a heartfelt plot of humanity to save the much devastated state of earth from invaders since its prequel. If you listen closely to your comradesā quotes and communications, you will be drawn into the lore of reasons to become a planet defense combatant. The visuals will remind you of the retro era of gaming, frequent frame drops and out of place grotesque aliens may be a put-off to some, but the sentiments of utilizing all sorts of equipment to just fend off aliens off the planet is something to experience for.

Earth Defense Force 6 remains as corny and bombastic as ever with all types of weapons to take down hoards of foes in what remains a fun and chaotic experience that feels a bit stuck in the past.
Personally, I really enjoy Earth Defense Force 6 and think it is definitely one of the better entries in the series. See you on the battlefield soldier! EDF! EDF! EDF!
Earth Defense Force 6 is the series at its best. Taken together, the engaging narrative, expanded enemies and locales, and class changes push EDF 6 to new heights. With the most content of any EDF game to get through, I can easily recommend picking the game up. Iāve spent 44 hours with the game so far, and Iāll easily spend a few hundred more playing through the campaign again, alone and with friends, multiple times over. The fun never stops.
EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 is an evolution and successor to EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5 both in gameplay and as a game. Thereās so many quality of life improvements, more missions, a far more intriguing storyline, and the best enemy variety the series has ever seen. EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 is a triumph of mindless fun. It delivers everything fans of the series have come to expect and more. While it doesnāt reinvent the wheel, it refines the formula to near-perfection. With its over-the-top action and addictive replayable gameplay, EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 is a must-have.
Earth Defense Force 6 is an over-the-top game that retains its defining elements while adding something new to the experience. Itās one of those games you play knowing it will feel like a B-film.
