EDF! EDF! EDF!
Earth Defense Force 5

The fifth mainline installment in the man vs. bugs saga known as Earth Defense Force was announced to be coming to the PC. Not only that, but Earth Defense Force 5 is coming to the PC this week on Thursday, July 11. That's a mere three days away from today! You can presently add it to your Wishlist on Steam if you want.

As usual, you will play as a member of the Earth Defense Force (EDF) as they battle giant ants, massive spiders, and all sorts of creepy crawlies. At your disposal will be a huge arsenal of weapons, vehicles, mechs, and customizable class types.

Unlike the previous games, EDF 5 makes it a bit easier and far more viable to switch classes. In the previous games, if you switched classes, you were typically at a power disadvantage because you usually didn't have enough in the way of armor upgrades or weapon unlocks to tackle the level you left off on. Weapon and armor pickups are distributed now between all four classes. Speaking of weapon pickups; if you pick up a copy of a weapon that you already found, there is a chance it will upgrade the existing weapon instead of just being wasted.

Mission variety also seems to have been made a bit more varied in this go. New humanoid enemies add a bit more variety to the mix. Some of these enemies can regenerate limbs that are lost. There are still giant, multi-story robot like foes to take on, and more. This release also serves as a bit of a soft reboot for the franchise's plot.

Earth Defense Force 5 was previously released for the PlayStation 4 late in 2018.
