This game is basically Earth Defense Force!

[Amogus]

With no classes and fewer big booms. But lack a moral boosting song!

[Dynamiez]

Nah, its extremely different. I played both.

Earth force did use starship troopers as inspiration too tho, in fact it copied it

EDF is your common sandbox shooter you step out of the bunker and rush around shooting kaiju's and aliens that is it nothing more.
The first version of EDF compared to the latest EDF 6 is the same the differents are just updated skins, graphic and more player classes.
If you have to compare EDF to another game it would be Call Of Duty.

HD2 is so much more yes you step out of the hell pod but the similarity ends there.
HD2 is not about killing spree's it's about completing tactical mission objectives and return to the mother ship before timer runs out.

(Op is trolling)

I mean dude's called Amogus and has an anime tiddy as profile.
both recipie for troll master title

[Ravagexe]

the fu***k is an earth defence farce?

Edit : Nvm it was just one of those weird ♥♥♥ games weebs play.

[VEPDEXPPP]

HD2 has somethings greater and worse than EDF but I feel that HD2 has more fun and greater longevity.

[Katzenspeck]

What? You mean that one Helldivers-like?

[RedShirt]

Both are very good games and both take inspiration from starship troopers.
That's why they have similarities.

[Zeddy]

Yeah but no? EDF absolutely wins on having more destructible buildings, more monsters, bigger airstrikes, etc. EDF is not about running from objective to objective and ignoring as many enemies as possible, it's about methodically clearing every enemy from every map.

I prefer that, genuinely, and if EDF6 hadn't been delayed I wouldn't even have bought this game yet. Helldivers has more western design goals with realistic weapons and a checklist of objectives rather than having the combat speak for itself (although the combat speaks very well!)

Deep Rock Galactic is a much closer comparison, or perhaps Helldivers sits somewhere between those.

Ok, so, I actually WORKED ON EDF: Iron Rain, and this is a way better game.

Like, my name is literally in the credits for that game, I helped make it, and this game beats the socks off it.

I tell people it's Lost Planet.
