- Earth Defense Force 5 is one of the most unassuming addicting games of the year and it managed to win me over in just a few hours. Over 1000 guns, 100+ missions, 4 very distinct classes… I’m HOOKED! EDF!

This is a hard game to prove its worth without having your hands on the controller yourself.
All of a sudden the game really clicked for me and out of nowhere I found myself fully onboard for whatever the franchise has in store next! (Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain)
I have currently converted two of my friends and my wife to the co-op EDF cause and it is a blast to play with some buddies.
Gotta link to pick up the game?
@@TOAOM123 Nah, no physical release so no affiliate link. All good
Yo boom I love this series if you have ps4 or 5 I'd love to play with you
I guess I'm kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to stream new movies online?
@Elias Killian Try Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
The only good bug is a dead bug!
I would like to know more

EDF XD
This series is seriously one of the most fun and engaging I’ve come across in all of my years of playing video games. Long live the EDF and Inferno or go home.
You've got the bug. Welcome to the EDF!!!
We know that in this reboot of the EDF universe, we are on an earth where ants, spiders and frogs do not exist and no earthlings are able to recognize them or find them in any way familiar.
Indeed. The closest thing they have to compare a giant alien frog to is...us. That's hilarious.
Oh is that why the characters are a lot more stupid than usual i was like do you guys not fucking remember the shit that happened in 4.1!
*THE LOOK JUST LIKE HUMANS*
Not to mention the aliens that at least look somewhat like humans apparently look nothing like us. Yet giant frogs are so similar they struggle to fight them.
They do call out the bees though. That surprised me.
Looks fun despite the bugginess.
Nice possibly accidental pun!
I see what you did there.
I was wondering what bugs you were talking about
*looks at video*
Oooooh kill me....
Trust me. The bugs are a feature.
its not bugged. its made like that on purpose
The game seems silly at first glance, but it is just extremely fun.
Playing as the jetpack chick with the Lance weapons (short range lasers basically) is the most fun I have had on console in ages.
Wait until you get more dashes + boosts for fencer. Best combo in gaming.
CaptainLekirk wing diver?
@@mark-o-man6603 dashcancelling as an Fencer is the fastest way of travel in EDF.
Wing Diver can't even compare.
@@der_saftmon Wing Diver has dash cancelling on the ground too and if I remember correctly one DLC core (higher dash distance) makes her even faster than fencer in EDF5.
@@mark-o-man6603 I only experiencef 4.1 so far
I imagine that at some point in the development, someone said, "frogs are bugs, right?"
Hell Arginus was a lizard lol
@@b111372 and Dragons evolved from giant insects in EDF4.1 so.. not the weirdest thing
Don't be stupid! Frogs look exactly like humans!
SciFi Channel should get down with this. Those ants and suits are amazing.
EDF has always only been interested in one thing and that's being, pure, uninterrupted arcade fun. It does it with no frills and no pretensions. It's a video game and it damn well knows it.
as an EDF series veteran is it just absolutely amazing to hear newcomers to the series just.... "get it" about these games, and have such a blast with them.
Therussianbadger made me instantly vibe with this game series.
And I am eager to get 6, when it comes to the west.
(I only have 4.1 The Shadow of New Despair, but I dig it)
I don't know how long 6 will take and think about getting 5, maybe.
@@der_saftmon You haven't gotten 5 yet? Go go go already! Embrace Fencer supremacy!
@@PlinaZ I- I'll get it by the end of the year at the latest, Sir!

The E.D.F deploys!
I fkn love you guys
That's my mayor complaint bout edf5 the new song not nearly as awesome as this one
That speech about eyes was some Churchill level shit. I could imagine the Big C saying that before the D-day.
The story telling while simple is actually very good as the tone was consistent from start to finish, especially how the story unfolds.
You totally talked me into getting this. Bug killing zen sounds up my alley.... Thanks Deadite.
Dude, it's so simple yet so good
Okay... not a challenge at the beginning?
One word: Inferno
I’ve never seen a game in my life that actually made shooting a Enemy such a rewarding and tactically pleasing task.
Being on top of a building, and firing a plasma cannon at a mech and doing so for serval minutes adjusting aim to throw off his aim was fantastic, the buildings around me crumbled as he barely missed and his aim was thrown off by my plasma canon, the buildings behind him crumble form the shockwaves of the plasma canon hitting him and my missed shots, my being forced back as he would destroy my building cover...
The entire game is just, rewarding
Nevermind the fact there was 7 other of those fuckers around the map and I was dealing with just 1 of them
Even hard with the Grey’s in suit is challenging if your team isn’t working together
Press Vrancks
Earth Defence Force Inferno > Dark Souls
‘We all lift together’
the hectors were my favorite mass produced enemies to Die because of:
1- being destroyed by 90% of my arsenal
2- getting their arm ripped off by the Lysander Z
3- getting god-sniped by me in a tank (inferno 1 shot's are awesome :D)
I recommend Killing Floor 2 if you love choatic, difficult yet fair fun like this, gonna get this game later this week
@@-AceItX- Yes, please recommend more games that aren't even remotely similar to what is being shown in the video!
I can remember when I played the first mission on the ps3 version "Save the civilians!" *PROCEDES TO MURDER BUGS, CIVILIANS AND MY TEAM MATES*
To me I instantly clicked with the tone of the game. There's something inherently compelling about B-movie gun-ho soldier archetypes eagerly throwing themselves into the meat grinder and getting slaughtered en mass. It has somewhat of a similar thing going for it in that regard that the film Starship Troopers did. The thing is EDF has this "thing" going for it too where as things get more desperate and the humans get beat more and more despite your efforts it sort of takes a bit of a darker tone while still keeping the cheesiness and corniness intact.
I feel like I’m the one of the rare Air Raider players who uses the Medic vehicle instead of a tank or some offensive vehicle online. Even in 4.1 I hardly saw anybody using the Armored Caravan Support vehicle besides me. But hell whenever I was in a lobby everybody swarms to me because I’m the Medic I even changed my characters colors to white and red xD
Sora Terumi lol in online i’m the ranger and i’m the field medic, cause everyone thinks charging a shotgun and a laser cosmonaut is a good thing.
Wait until you reach mission 41 and beyond. Around that point, this game takes off its gloves (if you can even imagine it was wearing any to begin with) and starts becoming noticeably more chaotic than it already is lol.
Just reached mission 90, myself. Apparently, this game has 110 campaign missions so i'm getting close to the end. Just 20 more to go...and no end to the chaos in sight lol.
That's just the beginning. Then you.need all the wepons!
Things always get more interesting, once you unlock inferno difficulty. Then you'll know the true meaning of gloves off.
@@plo617 I wish I was good enough to see.
This game is criminally underrated.
7:39 "It's those aliens with monsters!" "This isn't what I signed up for!!!" Same.
In EDF there is no room for whiney babies. We destroy aliens against all odds equipped with the best fps drop in the entire world! EDF! EDF! EDF!
Great on PS5 💟
That level is pretty tame too. This game gets real crazy.
My first EDF game and having a blast. The minute my character started singing little sections of those songs you can sing while killing giant bugs, I knew I was gonna love it.
I been playing EDF since 3(2017 in the US), I was immediately hooked, imported the 1st 2 games. I love how in the 1st 3 games buildings get blown up with one explosive of any kind. Once you get eh Stampede M20 you can level a skyline instantly. 5 is excellent, they've really just given fans of the core gameplay more of what we want, and it has really payed off.
Glad to have you on board. Been playing since Ed1 2017 and it’s always great to new people getting as addicted I as I am.
Been a huge fan of EDF since finding EDF 2017 in the bargain bin at a game store years ago. I've played a lot of games since the NES, but the EDF games never disappoint and are always some of the most fun games you could ever play if you're just looking for mindless action and want a break from deep, sophisticated stories! EDF 5 is no exception, and I'm having an absolute blast playing it!!
Also, if you're looking for a challenge, you haven't seen a challenge quite like playing an EDF game on inferno difficulty!
Don't you dare try to tell me EDF doesn't have one of the most philosophically profound and gut wrenchingly human tales in the medium.
This game is an excellent palate cleanser.
Remember boys, the real EDF experience starts at INFERNO difficulty!
Yeah, I get bored watching most of the playthroughs of this game because they're all on normal difficulty. There just isn't enough things to shoot at on normal.
*Sees the words inferno difficulty*
*Remembers the horrors of EDF 2025 on Inferno*
*PTSD kicks in*
But you need online to play Inferno right? Aint that really really really hard?
@@regensyscronos347 Not even. It's all dependent on how much you grind armor and weapons. If you want to solo inferno expect to grind for a long time.
@@regensyscronos347 You play play on Hardest and Inferno offline too, you unlock those difficulties by beating the last campaign mission on any difficulty :-) Yes Inferno is hard but that's how I learned to appreciate the true depth of EDF (where in Normal/Hard it's a fun and mostly braindead game, but Inferno gets your noggin' joggin')
EDF was just a nice change of pace for me. Gigantic insects? No developers would dare to do that because its so bizzare. And when the gigantic fortress comes into place, my frames dropped to below 10 and I didn't even care.
"They are carrying weapons, if you don't kill them they will kill you" Oh shit I didn't know that. This game is hilarious.
Thanks for making this. This is a series I have wanted to give a go at for some years now but just end up getting to involved in other games.
Its a great game. Play with a friend, split screen couch coop. Have a beer and slaughter thousands of giant insects, very nice!
would you like to KNOW MORE?
This game makes the movie better.
LOL, this is the closest we're getting to a Starship Troopers game although this game is more inspired by Kaiju movies.
Lmaoo
Thump-subbed! ^^
I'm considering to buy EDF5 for the ps4. Thanks for the video! :)
Straight up action. Love it in its simplicity. This is all gaming needs to be. Fun. Not lecturing & faults promises.
I used to play the first game of this frachise in PS2, it was such a great game at the time.
I picked up EDF 4.1 on sale late last year and loved it, since then bought 5 and played it split screen to completion and again solo on harder difficulties. Great game!
I did exactly the same in 2018-19 and we finished 2017,4.1,5, IA and IR all in split screen.
The 5 is incredible and peak of the series. I just returned to it now in 2022 and it's so good. Runs 4k60 flawless on pc too. Mouse controls are great. It's 60fps on ps5 too

Honey I Shrunk the Kids.
First clip is Fencer😁. Hell yeah welcome aboard lol. I think splitscreen is essential for all games.
Split screen is such a rarity that even if I don't like EDF (I'm playing through 4.1 and haven't decided), I'll still praise the game for having it as a feature. Now I just need to convince my family to also get into it.
Welcome comrade. This game deserve's at least 1/5th of Fortnite's success.
Mark Oman This game is cross platform too? It definitely needs some of those players. Of course, I don’t play Fortnite or have played this game before, but I support cross platform games.
@@mrdude88 No, it's only on PS4, but I can see it coming to PC later. The studio is too small to get it running on Switch and I assume the titles that were released on 360 sold like shit, so it's not worth porting those games to Xbox.
@@mark-o-man6603 Most of the EDF games the hit the PlayStation library besides Vita versions was also on Xbox.. AI, 2017 and 2025 was on Xbox as well. 4.1 is 2025 version for PS4.
It might but its good it hasnt that much success otherwise the game would be mainstreamified to please the masses and it would stop being edf
@@grog_speed its on pc now
Oh hey the Bike is actually functional this time around!
The first time you and some randos sing the entire song together is truly magical. And so is the second. The third *notthefourthnotthefourth* and fifth time as well.
welcome to EDF my friend :)

Welcome to the cause Brother.
Wow legitimately one of the best games I have ever played. I am so happy I bought this.
I loved EDF4.1 in the PS3 days. Just bought EDF5 today, and 5+ years later, I can tell you with certainty after a couple hours, that EDF5 is "simply more of the same things". More importantly I can also tell you: "WHAT A GAME! !!"
The best from the West gave us the legendary XCOM games.
The beast from the East gave us the legendary (yeah it is!) EDF!
This is the Sharknado of gaming
More like the fast and furious of gaming
@@silentwatcher4883 dafuq? the fast and furious of gaming is NFS, don't even compare
expect sharknado is shit :D
Incredibly bad but in the end entertaining?
I love this franchise. So happy that 5 doesn't have that INSANE "every weapon" trophy!!
It does have 100% all levels all difficulties all classes tho

Welcome aboard to the EDF's Infantry Unit! We're always glad to see new recruits fighting to protect our beautiful home!
Welcome to the edf family
I've been a fan of this series since 2013, and there are two things I've noticed in this game that VASTLY improve my enjoyment of it.
First one is Wing Diver being given a dodge roll action. This is INSANELY useful and was sorely missing from previous iterations.
Second one is a QOL improvement, and that's the sprint function. Being able to travel across the map really fast while also being able to pick up crates within a larger radius alleviates a lot of the issues we had about the previous games, where we had to tediously combat roll around just to pick up all the crates. Now you can travel around the map super fast and you can pick up more crates at once.
My only gripe with the game are the first two or three missions which are basically just a tutorial and should've been optional.
*sees giant bipedal frog*
"THEY'RE EXACTLY LIKE US!"
I play EDF 5 on PC in 5k and honestly its one of the best looking games I own, yeah the graffics are a little dated but you see every shell caseing, everything is destroyable, when you shoot enemies pieces of them come off, this game pays ALOT of atention to detail and is more realistic and has more destructive environments then even the newest battlefield games.
I played this with my brother for HOURS! This game is addicted as you said in the thumbnail. We couldn't stop playing togheter on the campaign and versus mode. This game is the goat for me 🐐
Tbh I would pay top dollars just to have the old edf anthem back.
You missed so many armor and weapon boxes! I just joined the EDF crew myself. How did I miss such a fun game before??
Played 4.1 and love it, hope this comes out on PC soon.
Welcome to the EDF, recruit!!
Definitely picking up this one
Am I the only one who got stressed when he didn't grab some weapon boxes? XD
Is there like any customization for the character? New armor or anything?
EDF! EDF! EDF!
Been playing it since it was in the SIMPLE series imported. PS2 i think??? I can't even remember what year that was but probably around 20+ years ago?
This game has always been a diamond in the rough. Basically the game loop just works.
I had this game sitting in my cart because it was on sale, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to purchase it. Then the sale ended. And I went to purchase a different game, and I was just pressing ex to get through the purchase screens, and I ended up purchasing this game at full price by accident.
It literally just happened this morning, and I’m already addicted to this game.
Agree - the EDF series is one of the best, and I have been playing comp games since zx spectrum days
at first my girlfriend was like wtf are you playing and now she's super addicted too.
is edf 5 come sfor pc i will get it, always wanted to play one. Don't know if the old one on pc is as good
In EDF 4.1 there is a wing diver weapon with 15 shots named the Custom lancer and is the upgraded version of the normal lancer. The weird thing about it is disgustingly OP. It can take the robots out in 4 to 5 shots while it takes out the ants and arachnids out in 1 shot. The thing can also do real absurd damage against the motherships that drop the ants. The problem with the wing diver back in EDF 4.1 is that the energy management is a little insane. And that was my go to weapon.
EDF is an amazing series been playing it for years it's just sad it took 8 games and unreal 4 to do it for people cause there all hung up on looks, have we really forgotten about the joy that was single player and multilayer games that are not broken and filled with micro transactions. They crappy B+ video games are what define games when they were games and not pay to play services. good review!
Oddly I never played this game from the previous series. One day someone posted the ign review in a fb group. Before it even finished I was like i want that damn game! Bought it as soon as I could and just love it so much.
Me just driving straight into this series was the best thing I've done. Never played a EDF game till I got EDF 5. AND WOW It's really something of a new experience._.
You know how many people say "__(insert game title here)__ game really makes you feel like __(insert character here)__"? EDF really makes you feel like a startship trooper.
What you said about Destiny 2 is spot on. It's that exact reason I can't bring myself to play games like that. Graphics focus and poor gameplay.
trade graphic quality for total mayhem. fair enough
One of my top 5 games of all time, I never get bored of this game
Where do the sick posters of the classes at 3:18 come from?
Brings back memories of the ps3 EDF I'm glad to see this again hhaha
Played hundreds of hours of EDF, can't wait to get 5. It came only digital in America right?
Yea only digital
@@BoomstickGaming Got it man, thanks
Still not on pc yet ;-;
This game is awesome stayed up all night when I stopped playing it was 4 am
You sold me on this game. I'd always see Japanese streamers playing this but never thought about getting it myself. Just wish i had some buddies to play it with, I can't imagine the online being that busy for such a niche game.
You'd be surprised. Online lobbies for EDF game are constantly busy many years after release. The people who play this game PLAY this game.
Waiting for this on steam baby!
EDF!!
Extra Credtis sums it up best: "It is the BEST kind of stupid fun"
Ohhhh gun toting frogs! I'm in.
They had a good graphics version that took place in the US a while back.. but I don't think it did well.
Iron Rain and Insect Armageddon are fun games but they do not have the same charm as the traditional series.
This looks like the Japanese MMO on console I've been looking for thank you, I hope there are healer roles
Just thinking about the fact that a normal not-so-famous PS2 game literally became a famous PS4/PS5 game is just insane.
It basically looks like a remake of Body Harvest.
I'll probably be buying this in a week or so for Christmas
HOLY CRAP I REMEMBER THIS!
late reply but how do u unlock the ability to change armor?
totally with you bro - playing edf 4.1 instead of anthem!
PC Release July 11 2019! Find it on steam!
I want this on pc so bad :C I play the punk outa 4.1. This looks so good! I can't believe the motorbikes are actually legit now.
