“EDF作為一個歷史悠久的ip,前幾部都是非常精彩的作品,當然該作也沒有讓大家失望。遊戲場面如此恢弘,怪物、飛船的大小也各不相同,一百多關的內容,一望無際的地圖,交疊錯雜互不相同的樓宇,能用20G的大小就概括真的很不容易。除了最基本的槍械射擊特效外,怪物的炸裂特效也非常搶眼。雖然有些血腥,但是終歸是爽字佔了大頭~~~配合上奧特曼打怪獸時的音效,視聽效果絕對是極佳!”

About This Game

Stand and fight for humanity.
This arcade shooter takes place in the year 2022, as the Earth Defense Force fends off an all-out attack by unknown life forms. Become an EDF soldier, battle against endless hordes of immense enemies, and restore peace to the earth.

Make way for the series' first humanoid aliens.

Just what is this intelligent, extraterrestrial civilization that has attacked our own, known only as the Primers? Matching their intelligence, they bring the series' first humanoid alien foes. Battling against these intelligent foes will bring you to the depths of yet-unknown despair, and the heights of joy.
Face the enemy with wisdom and courage!

The most jam-packed entry yet, with online co-op play!


This entry has more missions and weapons than any before it. On top of that, all missions support online co-op of up to 4 players, as well as local split-screen. Control the 4 classes and play with EDF soldiers all over the world.

STORY

This is no training exercise.
This is the living nightmare we'd all feared.


It all started in Japan, 2022. An immense fleet of starships laid siege to an EDF base located in the rough city outskirts in the Kanto region.

This was an enemy humanity had never encountered, the Primers. Even worse, enormous insects attack the EDF base built even further underground. The EDF fights back.


Even more realistic battles
Armor will peel off where you shoot enemies, and their fluids will spill out onto buildings and floors, making you feel like you're truly on the EDF's battlefield.


4 EDF classes powered up like never before
As the player, take on missions with one of four classes. Finish missions to unlock new ones and advance the story. You can switch classes before missions as many times as you'd like.
