One Of The Best Games Ever

[John Wesley Harding]

If you're wondering if you should get this game while on sale, yes you should. Pickup the DLC later if you want to, think of it as bonus content on top of an already complete experience.

Except you should very much get 4.1 and 5 beforehand because both are way better than 6 is and ever will be. It is also far from "one of the best games ever" there are plenty of objectively better games.

On a technical level this game is a mess compared to 4.1 and 5, so while the game is fun I would never recommend actually paying for it.

This is the best EDF game currently if not ever made.

The game is stuck in the speed trap. Every new part has to get faster until the game is completely broken. Fencer and Wing Diver play completely the same.

After the first third of the game you get a 6x dash cell and 5x jump booster. For Fencer then you put piercer in one hand and Galeon or Canister Cannon in the other, and you're back to Wing Diver. The playstyle is then also the same.
That's why all of the Fencer's weapons are so weak for balancing purposes.

Fencer have 2x2 weapons, so you switch between them and just shoot. Similar to Wing Diver's weapons, which consume a lot of energy and you can no longer fly.
And in close combat I fly into the enemy with Fencer's piercer, similar to WD's Rapier or Phalanx.
The same style of play. There are therefore only three classes.

Non-owner, anyone with that weapon setup is boring and ineffective.
It is better to hop + dash as Wing Diver than slowly fly around and use up energy. Why are you short range? Limiting yourself to behave like other classes is boring.

4.1 is ancient compared to EDF6. Its a great game still but going back to it is rough.
