Edf-Ia Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon Series I Played

I have a bit of personal history with this game as it was not only the first game in the series I played, but it was also the first ever Xbox 360 game I owned when I got the system for Christmas way back in 2011.

When I was younger, I certainly put my time into the game and not long after, I discovered the brilliance that was Earth Defense Force 2017.

Over the years, I learned fans considered this game to be the black sheep of the series.

In replaying it, I realized theres lot this game did for the series mechanically speaking.

Theres four classes to choose from, you can sprint in addition to rolling, plus theres an active reload system ala Gears of War (although its a bit more finicky in this game).

Additionally, you earn XP and level up, which not only increases your characters stats, but also unlocks new weapons to purchase (though you can find weapon drops from larger foes like Hectors and the Praying Mantis).

I think where the game falters most is its mission structure.

They attempted to add objectives to provide context to the non-stop killing, but all you do is either hold the line against enemies for a certain while or activate beacons on downed EDF carriers, which gets old fast.

In short, I think Insect Armageddon did some right for the series by modernizing the series core mechanics, but in the process, the absurdity and fun was taken out.

Dont expect to take on anything too crazy besides ants, spiders, gunships, Hectors, larger Hectors, and robotic praying mantis, among other creatures.

Also, 15 missions is way too short for something like EDF.

Yes it has its flaws, but I enjoy some aspects of it better than the traditional EDF games, like the classes and enemy models.

EDF 4 and 5 overall are superior of course but this was a fun, and cheap, diversion while waiting for 4 to come out on PC for me.

Share Report Save level 2 Original Poster 1 year ago Yeah, its by no means a bad game, and Sandlot did cull a lot of stuff from this game in regards to its mechanics and implement them into future titles, like four character classes (instead of two like in EDF 2), reloading, and even being able to sprint.

I think if the campaign had been at least 10 missions longer, then the campaign wouldnt have felt as lacking.

Share Report Save level 2 1 year ago I feel the same way about Iron Rain, tbh.

Like its not a great EDF game and dramatically inferior to EDF 5 but its fine as its own thing.

If it were an indication of a new direction for the main series, Id be really bummed but as a spin-off, its whatever.

I had plenty middle-of-the-road fun with it and it did a few cool things.

Im glad I snagged it when it was 50 off.

I dont think its a bad game as it did a lot right for the series, had it been a bit longer (about 5 to 10 missions more) and maybe introduced a couple more enemy types, then it would have been a more satisfactory experience.

As it stands, EDF: IA is fun, but leaves you wanting more.

Share Report Save level 1 1 year ago It brought alot to the table, but sadly not enough and it got old fast.

I loved the active abilities for the tactical and battle armors, trooper armor was way to bland though, shoulda let him equip 3 weapons at once.

Jet was my favorite, the only class i got to armor level 8 and it was alot of fun.

Firing a sniper rifle at a building and causing a nuclear explosion was a blast.
