    One of the best games to play with friends. Don't drop it on first few missions, just give it a chance to show it from the best side of gameplay

    Extremely fun coop with amazing gameplay.

    The amount of content is overwhelming, with over 1.000 weapons and over 100 missions.

    Graphics looks dated, true. But probably was the best way to move the insane amount of enemies on the screen without burning mid or low end PCs. Graphics isn´t it selling point, anyway.

    Хорошее продолжение EDF серии, с новыми так и уже давно известными врагами.
    В продолжении были добавлены такие положительные аспекты как:
    вариации улучшений класа, способности мобильности, новые системы перезарядки для виндрайвера.    Хорошее продолжение EDF серии, с новыми так и уже давно известными врагами.

    Very entertaining game.

    Best: - gameplay a specially with Wing Diver - single player with so many missions, enemy types, mission types - destruction - upgrading equipment - fun style/art/campaign Worse: - auto cam should been disabled by default, replaced by some arrows for manual focus - sprint cam of ranger - wy at most of screen i see zoomed ass? - stopping after sprint -    Very entertaining game.

    Best:
    - gameplay a specially with Wing Diver
    - single player with so many missions, enemy types, mission types
    - destruction
    - upgrading equipment
    - fun style/art/campaign

    Worse:
    - auto cam should been disabled by default, replaced by some arrows for manual focus
    - sprint cam of ranger - wy at most of screen i see zoomed ass?
    - stopping after sprint - should be normal run. Simialar thing with Wind Diver - jump is usless, why not just fly with space key?
    - super slow ranger helicopters
    - lasers are stopping wing diver in air - should be more physics. Similar thing when standing on destroyed building, there is a moment when u fall inside building
    - nonsense ideas for example emergency recharging of Wing Diver - it should be always immergency, or immergency disable all systems/recharge on demand.
    - lot of classes are just too slow or have not some greater boost extend option (even fencer)
    - targeting with self kill heavy weapons and camera. There is good targeting system with ranger but with heavy weapons there should be some helper for TPS camera (short range targeting/helper system, to not kill self)
    - looks like ps2/ps3 game, long loading screens with SSD    … Expand

    This one would have made for an average game in 2005. Now, 15 years later, if even fails to translate that into nostalgia.

    ~The weapon & health formula is amazing.
    Every crate you pick up in game that is RED armor
    equals +1 health in next match.
    It's alot of fun to farm/grind ur health up to the thousands so you can actually survive on harder difficluties.

    ~The harder the diffivculty=the higher the level of the weapon you randomly get at the end of every level based on how many "weapon crates" you collected....
    So many interesting & fun rocket launchers & missles.. Esp the missles that holm in
    and the rockets that you can shoot from across the map..
    And snipers that have long 6 second reloads but 2-3 hits will take out a enemy nest from across the map...

    The amount of strategies one can use are limitless...

    The biggest differenc ebetween EFD5 + The previous 4.1
    is The "special" slot you bring into battle. Usually just two wepaons
    but now you get that extra slot where you improve pickup radius
    or +90% health for healing homies when you pick up health
    and all inds of combos....
    ***Also,,ranger is usually EVERYONES 1st at solo playthrough.
    They mad eit so Rangers have alot of mechs & helicopters & tanks to drive.
    Uusally they were just for Air Raiders...
    ***EDF 4.1 + EDF 5 are both amazing games and i thanks the dude Gus for imtroducing me to both of them...    … Expand

    EDF oyunları çok eğlenceli ve güzel oluyor. EDF 5 de bu geleneği bozmamış ve eğlenceli. Herşeyin yıkılması, absürd sayıda canavar ve askerler arasında cringe konuşmalar tam bir EDF klasiği.

    Like its predecessor, Earth Defense Force 5 is a fine jumping-off point for newcomers to the series. The shooting remains as solid as ever, and the concept of mixing in loot drops with blasting large enemy hordes remains enjoyable, even if the whole package isn't as polished as expected from something with a cult following. However, EDF5 doesn't surpass the heights of EDF4.1 due to its flaws detracting from the progress of its improvements. The deeper combat thanks to some new enemy types only comes after spending the first two levels doing nothing, and the game is now more stable, but PC fans who've waited this long still have to buy the extra missions via DLC. Nevertheless, this is a treat of a game that actions fans will love.

    Quirky and deliberately cheesy, Earth Defense Force 5 boasts hours of enjoyable if straightforward content.

    Earth Defence Force 5 is yet the best game in the series. It offers just more of everything in comparison with its predecessors.
