Earth Defense Force 5 - Review of the Worst BEST Game EVER

the EDF series is the best video game franchise this planet has to offer like/subscribe yada yada mmm I don't think a 30-second video is gonna please the YouTube algorithm I should probably explain more hmm maybe somehow if you don't fight you will become their food for the uninitiated Earth Defense Force is a long-running series dating back to 2003 in each title he plays a member of the EDF whose sole goal is to defeat an alien invasion of Earth think Mars Attacks mix with a little independence day and an incredibly strong dose of nineteen fifties b-movie camp that is beautiful to behold it's writing it's just ah the base gameplay loop is simple pick one out of the four classes wing diver Ranger aerator a fencer playthrough mission complete it's relatively simple objectives while looting as many boxes off the battlefield as possible the red boxes are health that make your character tank here as you play through the missions that actually hold over four mission evasion the green boxes are the random weapon drops that will be revealed at the end of your fight and ha-ha boy-- the weapons each class specializes in some insane dacha the Ranger is your standard infantry class and probably the most balanced between maneuverability and firepower support and offense weapons include shoulder-mounted rocket s-- tracking missile launchers a plethora of hand grenades and renamed launchers some planted explosives like the C 20 bombs your more standard assault rifles machine guns and sniper rifles shotguns don't underestimate these classic weapons they're super effective at clearing out large groups or nailing priority targets at range new for the Ranger is the support equipment slot now the Ranger can carry boosts in armor enhancing equipment and medical supplies to heal their allies over time or they can drop all that and take on the ability to bring in vehicles like motorcycles or tanks another new feature that adds to the Rangers mobility is the ability to sprint mobility is life in EDF being able to dodge or reposition is a big part of survival it's a nice rebalance to the class giving it more options in life than before the wing diver is still a half-naked jet pack flying energy weapon wielding badass if you want your POV to always be an eye in the sky for your team swooping around and killing targets dropping explosive plasma bombs well this is your class the fencer is the slowest beast of the game a soldier rocking an exoskeleton that can be customized to your playing style Welding two sets of weapons that range from sword and shield shield and shield massive hammers mini guns mortars tank cannons the weapons change how your character actually moves swords give a boost forward averaged weapons give a boost upwards it's not the easiest class to play as you can quickly become overwhelmed by enemies but it packs a major bit of firepower and lastly my favorite class the air Raider the dude with a radio and a no shits given attitude someone gave this guy all the military codes and how do you get to use them his personal weapons are a sticky grenade launcher that can be detonated with a quick of a button but that's not where the fun is these are the air Raiders weapons whether it's dropping artillery strikes mortar strikes offsite battleship cannon rounds ac-130 blasts ion cannons calling in vehicles all of the vehicles by the way that's what this class is all about which your party can drive or can mount inside your job is to support your allies but killing the crap out of the enemy I can even drop in support items like energy bunkers and shields healing devices all held over from past games the biggest difference for this class at least in my opinion is how you call in airstrikes now when you pull out your radio and you call in an airstrike you actually get a zoomed out view of the battlefield and you can rotate the area where the bombing run lands in past games you literally threw a smoke and hope for the best this gives you full map range for where you want to call in your bombing run you can soften up targets before they get close pull enemies to the group if you need to it's the best class ever and I love it it can be a bit challenging if you're trying to play solo though there are some new weapons that make it a little bit easier like the ability to attach beacons to targets heads and watch 150 millimeter cannon and shell land right on it that's so good all these classes work together really well there's all kinds of ways you can play if you're playing with somebody who's rocking the heavy smex suit well you're probably gonna want to put down maybe some heels for them or some some defensive positions for them or maybe some turrets to back them up to keep the enemy off them if you're playing with a winged diver you're probably gonna want to stay mobile drop in a vehicle that's fast and quick like the graves which is an armored APC that can get you all over the map meaning you can drive down an alleyway while firing in one direction while your other ally flies down with a jetpack and knocks out those priority targets gameplay so far and we're oh just starting to get into this bind you but it's EDF if you played it you know what you're getting into you're gonna buy this it's freaking awesome more stuff a lot of the same maps return a lot of the same weapons returned but everything's had a bit of a rebound some of the things that have changed though weapons instead of getting version a B C D and E of the same gun now you actually get upgrades to the original gun it makes selecting weapons a little bit easier though it is a little sad to see the weapon list seems so short even how far we are into the game so far but it's a nice change that you're just getting straight upgrade to those weapons as you pick up the same version over and over there is a max - how many upgrades each weapon has which it'll stay in the top right hand corner other changes have been made there is a lot more riding in this one in past once and there's a lot more voice actors and it is still that b-movie quality that you expect that monster escaped from a zoo or something this is weird we're talking about a horde of 10-meter monsters and no one noticed a thing before the [ __ ] hit the fan maybe they were hiding something a mission like this hurry the tanks operational it is a little disappointing that in this version of the game the song that your troops will sing is kind of crap and doesn't even come close to comparing to the last title have a listen [Music] [Music] [Music] yes sir would I recommend you buying this game yes though if you've never played an EDF title before and the price tag on this is pretty substantial at $60 you ask if you've never played one before and you want to play with your friends pick up version 4.1 this is the version that came out prior to 5 it's very close to being the same game just without some of the rebalance stuff that I've mentioned but it's a joy to play and it's way cheaper you can get earth defense for point 1 shadows of new despair which is kind of vague a reworked version of 4.1 you can get that one for $20 right now that's not even on sale but if you're an EDF veteran I don't even know why you're watching this video go and play 5 it's amazing I highly recommend it I know I'm gonna be playing it over on Twitch quite a bit play my aerator and Colin and airstrikes you guys have any questions about EDF where you want to see a video as I get farther into it to see some of the more ridiculous weapons and whatnot let me know maybe I'll do a compilation video some of the fun stuff that I ended up unlocking as we go through it right now it's reporting there were only a few percent into the game and that's counting all the weapons and there we're all turned to soup ft boys
