No more underground ant caves, valleys, beaches, ruined cityscapes, and there’s but a single stage that takes place at night. Urban environments look much better than in 2017, though sadly this is the only kind of environment present in the whole game. Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions seem identical without any major glitches in either. It would explain the whole New Detroit thing (old Detroid presumably destroyed in 2017?) and also why there are now multiple classes of EDF troops.Īt least on par with EDF 2017 visually, Insect Armageddon manages to surpass its 360 predecessor in many aspects. A minor gripe perhaps, but it could have been so easy for Vicious Cycle to place this game perhaps ten or twenty years after EDF 2017. Parallel dimension or terrible memory? You decide. While the EDF games have never been big on story, Insect Armageddon seems to make no mention of anything that happened in EDF 2017.
Join the EDF ranks and make your way for the city of New Detroit to rid it of the alien menace. The Earth Defense Force alliance band together to stop them for either the first or fourth time, depending on your perspective. Sometime in the future, an alien invasion force made up of robots, insects, and well… robotic insects invades Earth. However, this title should best be compared with the second game in the series, Global Defense Force, as it shares most in common with that entry. How did Vicious Cycle fair in their efforts to carry forth the series Sandlot is best known for? Read on.īuilding upon the niche foothold it’s predecessor managed to curve in the US, most reviews will undoubtedly focus and compare Insect Armageddon to the Xbox 360’s Earth Defense Force 2017. With a developer change from Sandlot to Vicious Cycle, Insect Armageddon reimagines the look of the series, but make no mistake, this is still the classic EDF experience at its core.
After years wondering if I’d ever get to see another game in the series, the long awaited Earth Defense Force 4 has finally arrived.
