    A cheerful, simplistic, awkward, colourful children's game. Fans of the series should be warned: this is more Lego than EDF.

    Game is fun but there are 3 major problems. 1. There is one particular level with waterfalls and a rainbow bridge where an enemy clips in a wall and is stuck inside it. Normally you can't finish missions until you kill everything so if an enemy gets stuck you'll likely won't be able to kill it. Forcing you to restart the entire mission over or spending loads of time trying to kill it. ThisGame is fun but there are 3 major problems. 1. There is one particular level with waterfalls and a rainbow bridge where an enemy clips in a wall and is stuck inside it.

Forcing you to restart the entire mission over or spending loads of time trying to kill it. This unfortunately happens often in this level
    2. One enemy called saurous lags the game exponentially when it uses its fire breathing to the point the game doesn't register inputs making you stand still as you life drains in 3 seconds. Thankfully it doesn't appear in to many missions
    3. RNG is the worst I've ever seen in any game. Say you want a rocket launcher, you'll need to find the Character that holds it in a mission and rescue them. Doesn't sound bad right? Unfortunately, no. First you have to hope to RNG that the character spawns in a level and hope to rng that, if you do rescue them, they have a weapon. If they don't good luck finding them again. Then be disappointed they don't have it once more. Also the one level that all characters are guaranteed to spawn at some point is the one level dedicated to saurous    … Expand

    All in all, EDF World Brothers is good, but it is also just EDF with a new coat of paint and I don’t need one every year or two. I want these titles to be special and had I not had an EDF title in the last five years (let alone two) I think World Brothers would have been more exciting to play. However, as a fan of EDF it is just another EDF game and honestly had I not been reviewing it I would have likely skipped it because past the coat of paint and new mechanics, it is just shooting giant bugs and monsters. With that I will basically say that this game is on par with EDF 5. It is still fun but nothing special.

    Overall, Earth Defense Force: World Brothers is a fun remix of the Earth Defense Force formula. Not only is the art style almost entirely adorable, but the way the gameplay has been split across your team members keeps the game fresh and fun.

    Although the effort to make the series fresh and accessible is admirable, it’s backfired. Fans will be disappointed, newbies will wonder what all the fuss is about. [Issue#3, p.144]
