Earth Defense Force: Insect Apocalypse

The game is basic and wears its budget status on its sleeve, but it is great nonetheless. Shoot me a PM for my PSN ID to play online.

Finished up Easy, Normal, and Hard on EDF 2017 pretty easily, though the spiders are becoming huge pains in the ass. Just started a Hardest playthrough with about 2700 health, let's see how that goes.

I finished a normal playthrough of EDFIA and the trophy didn't unlock, but that's about par for the course with this game. 2017 crushes it in so many ways. The environments are always the same here, the enemies are fewer than 2017, and the game does nothing to mask its repetitiveness. Yay, I can play online, but now the two of us can fight the same bugs in the same places over and over. 2017 had the huge spider, the Godzilla clone, the massive robots coming ashore, fighting in the bug tunnels, the huge mothership at the end, etc. This is just the city over and over. Bleh.

It just doesn't have the personality; it lost it on the transition to a more modern aesthetic.

Also the missions kind of suck, yeah.

Agreed, 2017 is a lot better with variety and how it doesn't force you to level up 4 different classes for no reason.

Leveling up 4 different classes is a choice, not a requirement. Once you've unlocked all the classes you can pick a favorite and stick with it. But yeah, the developers have said the lack of levels, variety, or anything resembling an end to the game is due to budget restraints, but that didn't stop Sandlot from making their three games in the series kick so much ass.

So the DLC finally went up for this, and turns out it's just two lame weapon packs.

I was hoping for some new missions.

[kingoffighters]

I am sick of replaying the same 15 levels, which are mostly the same too.

[Beefy Hits]

Fun game. Rented it because of watching my money instead of buying it. It'll be a sub $15 game pretty soon because it's not Gaylo and Call of Doody. You know I'm right. I'll give it... 4-5 months to drop down to $15.

VGchartz says the wordwide sales for this are 90,000 copies for Xbox 360 and 70,000 copies for PS3. So 160,000 combined.

They are dumb not to put up another Chapter or two as DLC.

I'd gladly pay them another $5 - $10 for more levels.

Instead they put up some stupid ass guns as DLC, when there are already a million of them in the game to begin with. Give us something we don't have a ton of!
