Helldivers 2 made a big impact earlier this year with its unique gameplay and satirical storyline. However, similar themes have been explored in other games, such as the Earth Defense Force series. Earth Defense Force has been around longer, providing players with action-packed gameplay reminiscent of Starship Troopers. Both games involve battling waves of monsters and offer an exciting experience.
Despite their similarities, Earth Defense Force stands out as a single-player experience due to its competent AI teammates, making it more accessible for those who prefer solo play. The recent release of Earth Defense Force 6 in July offers a new adventure for fans of Helldivers 2.
Ready for deployment
Earth Defense Force 6 is a third-person shooter set three years after the previous game. Humanity faces a new alien invasion, adding to the action-packed gameplay. Players embark on missions to eliminate alien threats, with each class offering unique playstyles and abilities. While teamwork is crucial in Helldivers, Earth Defense Force focuses more on completing objectives individually, providing a different gaming experience.
Earth Defense Force 6 features four character classes, each offering a unique combat style. The game boasts a wide range of enemies, from giant insects to mechanical drones, providing an engaging and varied gameplay experience with over 130 missions to complete.
A true B-movie
Earth Defense Force 6 embraces B-movie aesthetics with its graphics and campy voice acting, adding to the charm of the game. While the storyline may be nonsensical, it contributes to the overall entertaining experience of battling aliens and creatures.
Earth Defense Force 6 offers a familiar yet enjoyable gaming experience, blending action, humor, and janky physics. Despite its flaws, the game delivers mindless fun and a unique atmosphere that keeps players engaged.
With its release on PlayStation 4, PS5, and PC, Earth Defense Force 6 invites players to embark on a thrilling adventure filled with chaotic battles and absurd storylines.
