Is Iron Rain really that bad?

[slingshot5]

It looks cool but I noticed its got microtransactions n ♥♥♥♥. Is it good?

[misstear1us]

the elites that worship the japanese engine (that is incredible btw) hate this version and deem it inferior cuz its unreal engine and more about cosmetics than physics... i agree with the facts and notion but dont think it should be treated as a dang 'spinoff' alt option of edf like they are. (and btw the new one is this reskinned voxel

If you buy the credit dlc in this you are legit just donating since you get more than that crappy pack gives in 1 run

The biggest problem is the level design. Difficulty is all over the place and you can literally never tell how hard a mission will be. They range in difficulty from start to finish too. The first level is harder than some of the later levels I've played. Somewhere in the 15-20s there's one with so many ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ robots you cant ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ move. And the hit stumble in this game will happen from almost ANYTHING. which is complete garbage because so many guns require build up, charge, something. And you lose ALL of the progress on that if something too big steps too close to you.

So many levels I've just been stun locked to death from like 10 seconds into the mission. EVerything instantly aggros onto you and you get bum rushed from the first second.

i've only played for just over an hour but this is by far my least favorite thing about the game. I had one mission where i just mopped up everything instantly and then the very next mission, they throw in 20 new types of monsters that just bumrush me, i get stuck in a little crater in the map and can't get out again. Dead. Super frustrating

This is why I always bring turrets but some maps you can't do anything about it unless you plan really hard or are heavy striker. Trooper can have a VERY hard time in some levels.

after ten minutes (first mission) yes.

Honestly, if the NPC allies would actually shoot at enemies, I would probably like this game a lot more. There are other reasons that it's not as good as EDF 4, but the squadmates firing at nothing or derping around is the only issue that really kills the fun for me.

I didn't even know there were microtransactions until seeing this thread...

[Jayconius]

My main gripe with this game is the lack of monster rag doll physics. You kill something and it becomes a literal wall that you can't shoot through or move.. It literally infuriates me how long it takes for the corpses to despawn.

Il like the game but he is not perfet...on the best difficulty and with max HP you are dead with 2 hit.

Impossible to play the Prowl Rider with katana on the best difficulty, just take ranger with best mecha or heavy striker.

The best difficulty is a pain in the ass...not realy fun and just try hard. The limite of life point is a stupidity on iron rain.

The game is not perfect but i like it....the problem is "where are the players?".

[KDD!^putler kaputt 26/93]

if you mean on hardest then you need to get a proper loadout first
only a couple missions in the dlc are actually ultra hard rng fests

AI too bad

March, 2023, and I'm playing EDF IR while waiting for EDF 6 to make it to Steam. I love the differences in EDF IR, as I also play EDF 4.1, EDF 5, and EDF WB. EDF IR is a lot better than most EDF players give it credit for. I read and understand the angst against it, but it does not distract me from the fact I enjoy it none the less. I can't believe that I'm still playing it with my other EDF titles, but here we are, IR still delivering the EDF experience I crave, though in a different style, but I love the difference.

Friendly AI is stupid as hell and is laughable, but sometimes the enemy concentrates on them, good enough. I'm the only hope for Earth's survival anyway, so it is up to me to save the us from the alien baddies.

Not a AAA title, but it still delivers. Loving it as it is. Did I mention March 2023? There you go, still being played. Thumbs up.
