Earth Defense Force Iron Rain Free Download Unfitgirl I have this thing. I hate cucumber. I hate it so much. But no matter how much I explain why, most people don’t understand. I must just taste it differently than other people. It’s a fundamental, maybe even genetic difference. I get it, others don’t. I think D3 Publisher might have realised that there’s a similar problem at the heart of the Earth Defense Force series – one Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain only somewhat successfully attempts to fix. EDF is the anti-cucumber. Fans love its quantity-over-quality approach to content; its enormous, gorgeously mindless combat scenarios; its ‘is this supposed to be funny?’ storytelling and voiceovers; and even the way the series’ wildly outdated looks skitter across the screen with a perverse, stubborn charm. You might be able to tell that I am one of these people. But no matter how much you show it to friends and try to demonstrate its janky charms, most take one look and go, “It looks like a PS2 game, leave me alone please. I’m trying to sleep.” Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain, it seems to me, is a conscious attempt to see if a few more people could be convinced to enjoy this cult favourite if it filtered a little of that essence de cucumber out. D3 has yanked the EDF license (hopefully temporarily) from mainline developer Sandlot and handed it to Yuke’s, most famous for its work on the WWE 2K series, for a spin-off that’s arrived just months after the last western release, Earth Defense Force 5. It employs a whole new engine, a more flexible approach to its class system, and a more seriously told story (well, as serious as alien invasions and genetically modified ants can be).

What Yuke’s doesn’t change is the core concept: This is still a game in which, over the course of 52 missions, you consistently arrive in a large-ish square of land with some pre-picked weapons and proceed to shoot the absolute shit out of an assortment of giant insects, B-movie aliens, and the occasional kaiju knock-off. And, honestly, if Iron Rain is an attempt to make EDF more palatable to the mainstream, it’s probably failed. But that’s because it’s playing things a bit safe – which means it’s also extremely good fun, almost the entire time, for basically the same reasons as the mainline games. The most immediately noticeable change is, naturally, how it all looks. Unreal Engine has been wheeled in to provide Iron Rain with a slick, if somewhat anaemic, facelift relative to what we saw a few months ago. The results are a little uneven. Lighting is frequently lovely, and your (newly customisable) character is a real joy to watch as they sweep onto the screen during miniature intro cutscenes. The first time I saw my own custom soldier air-drop onto the battlefield I felt a twinge of delight. When, hours of play later, I saw him do the same thing except wearing the orange hot pants I’d bought him and toting a laser cannon the size of a moped, I felt even happier. On the other hand, better character models for the many, many enemies only serve to highlight quite how ramshackle the low-quality animation looks. Worse, Iron Rain performs badly. The Devil’s bargain behind EDF is that its bad looks have historically allowed for literally hundreds of enemies

Bring Personality to the Battlefield

And allies to sweep across levels with minimal impact on the frame rate, but Iron Rain can’t manage the same feat. On a PS4 Pro running in 4K there’s the occasional stutter, particularly when buildings collapse and explode. On a standard PS4, frame rate suffers regularly, sadly. That many levels feel a little less populated than returning fans would expect, seemingly for fear of that strain, is perhaps the biggest indictment of Yuke’s changes. Embittered fans might feel similarly about how Iron Rain tells its story. Older games breeze past the idea of such things as ‘reasons for any of this to be happening’ with complete carelessness, instead dropping you without much interruption into ludicrous battle after ludicrous battle. Yuke’s, on the other hand, has made a conscious effort to place the story of EDF in some sort of context, introducing a recurring cast of characters you fight alongside, a more involved plot, even a socio-political backdrop (told mostly through loading screens and incidental dialogue) in which corporations now bankroll the world’s last remaining armies in return for soldiers having to buy their weapons with scavenged materials. While I’m a little sad that what we’ve lost along the way is the blank strangeness of fighting as and alongside generic soldiers (and the ability to make them all sing on command), as Iron Rain continued I started to love how much effort had been put in here. In trying to take itself seriously, EDF becomes even funnier, particularly as English voiceover artists throw themselves wholeheartedly into hammy performances. Chinatown Detective Agency Switch NSP

The unfortunately named German scientist Dr. Mengel has to be heard to be believed. It’s in those twists and additions to the expected that I think Yuke’s has excelled, most obviously in how it’s altered how you pick a playstyle. Traditionally, EDF’s classes lock you into a style of play, with weapons unlocked semi-randomly and on a per-class basis. Iron Rain flattens that system out somewhat. Unlocks are given based on the mission completed, and your character can freely switch between different exoskeleton rigs (called PA Gear), each with distinct strengths, weaknesses, and special abilities. You can equip any two weapons and a set of limited-use items to any PA Gear loadout. This means you can build a character that can fly, taking advantage of that innate added escape option to exclusively use heavy weapons with absurdly long reload times. Equally, a heavy PA Gear option that lengthens reload times can more than make up for that drawback by letting you dual-wield weapons – who cares about long reloads if you have two miniguns with gigantic clips? It feels like a real freedom of violent expression, and becomes all the better in 6-player co-op multiplayer, with everybody using the same pool of items to wildly different effect. It does mean that the sheer madness of a traditional EDF’s classes has been chipped away somewhat. Gone, for example, is the silliness of the Air Raider, a class built almost solely around calling in airstrikes or skyscraper-sized mechs.

Enriched Off-Line and On-Line Mode

But Iron Rain does mitigate that with breadth of choice. Having finished the campaign once, I’m still not close to unlocking every one of its hundreds of weapons. And yet my arsenal includes a shotgun that, for some reason does more damage if its bullets hit the floor around an enemy, a rocket launcher that splits a single missile into 30 if fired over enough distance, satellite spotters that call in orbital bombardments, and one laser cannon that (and this is per the menu’s description, by the way) can fire a projectile every 30 seconds that turns into “a small-scale star” on impact. Equippable items include blow-up decoy dolls, strafing runs from EDF fighter jets, floating grenades that fire lasers indiscriminately, and a variety of vehicle drops that range from mechs to planes to a useless pickup truck whose only ability is to honk its horn (and even that has an ammo count). I have reliably changed my loadout almost every mission, simply because there’s so much to choose from. The only thing I haven’t changed for a while is my PA Gear’s ability to summon a giant scorpion I get to ride on, because if you try and tell me that that’s less fun than the ability to boost in eight directions, I will call you a liar. That constant change is part-and-parcel of the design. Iron Rain recognises that introducing new enemy types (and there are many here, from baby-birthing spiders to spider-birthing UFOs to orbital missiles that transform into walking, chitinous tanks) isn’t enough to change the basic routine: run-shoot-reload-repeat. But change how you shoot in every mission, and that routine is disrupted. Chivalry 2 Free Download

Curiosity is always rewarded (unless you accidentally choose the grenade launcher that just fires a big light-up sticky mine and then has to reload for ages – that one just sucks). There are a few odder design decisions along the way. Some species of enemy can be completely immune to energy weapons, but the developer (understandably) doesn’t spoil what you’re about to face when you enter a mission. This means that if you happen to go in fully stocked with energy weapons you will, at best, have to wait for your human or AI companions to do all the work, or just immediately quit and restart with a new loadout. It’s a relatively rare issue, but it speaks to a slight lack of care in how Iron Rain presents you with information about what you should be doing (a bit of a problem if it is trying to attract a new audience). This reaches its nadir when, after dozens of levels that revolve around blowing up scorpions, UFOs, or the bigger structures spawning them, you’re suddenly placed against an implacable bullet sponge of a final boss that a) isn’t as interesting to fight as ‘several dozen ants’ have been for the majority of the campaign and b) is so woefully unreactive that by the time you work out how to beat it, it’s already become boring. It’s a neat metaphor for the developer’s work as a whole. When Iron Rain tries something wholly new, it’s rarely as fun as the mainline games, for fan or neophyte alike. It’s best when it alters the EDF template a little, presenting a new spin on an old idea.

4 Mobile Soldiers and Weapons

It’s the year 2033, and Earth is once again the victim of an alien invasion. Known as the Aggressors, the bug-like horde’s mothership hangs overhead before one of its attacks devastates the vicinity, leaving everyone dead except for you. With your life intact, you go on to destroy the enemy base before slipping into a coma as a result of the ensuing blast. Seven years later, you reawaken to a world overrun by Aggressors. Thanks to your previous heroics, many believe you are the key to winning the war and so with a new squad to command, you join the fight once again. It’s not a particularly spectacular plot, notably so considering it was supposedly an area of importance for the dev team, but it makes up for that to a degree with some humorous and intriguing dialogue. The “EDF! EDF! EDF!” chant is never too far away, but dig a little deeper and you’ll uncover teammates that reminisce about their childhood playing wrestling games and an in-game radio that provides context and commentary on the world around you. While some fun little quips will keep you going, unfolding events aren’t especially noteworthy, but then narrative has never been a focus of the Earth Defense Force experience. Gameplay has always been king, and that hasn’t changed with this latest spin-off. Once again we find ourselves facing off against an almost insurmountable army of bug-like creatures, and only two weapons to dispose of them with. The objective is almost always the same: Kill anything and everything that stands in your path. Chocobo GP Switch NSP 

Occasionally diversity creeps in with a point to defend or a vehicle to escort, but the task at hand is always going to boil down to killing a lot of enemies. That’s no bad thing though because the franchise has clearly uncovered a formula that just works. Carving your way through waves upon waves of ants, spiders, and scorpions is so mindlessly enjoyable – to the point where it’s enough to carry the game through to its conclusion. Weapons are easy to handle and fire, bullets deal a great amount of damage to even up the odds, and mobility is at an all-time high. Gameplay feels like its cranked up to 11 for every single mission as blocks of buildings fall to the ground, hundreds of enemies swarm upon your position, and multiple larger foes lay down fire from a distance. Although, there’s nothing sweeter than rounding up a herd of bugs in a tight area and blowing them all up at once with a rocket launcher. There may be a whole nest of ants scuttling over with pincers at the ready, but you’ve got the tools and means to dispose of every last one. Classes make a return, with three that can be found in previous titles and a new one that genuinely changed the game for us. Trooper is your generic infantryman with a dodge to get out of tight situations, Jet Lifters can fly through the air with a jet pack, and Heavy Strikers are tanks that can equip two weapons at once. And then there’s the Prowl Rider. Equipped with a grappling hook, we played the back half of the game’s 52 missions exclusively as the new class thanks to its incredible amount of mobility.

You’ll be able to cover great distances in mere seconds thanks to the hook’s range, getting you into the action quicker and out of it if you need a breather and a health pack. But that’s not even the best part. Every class has an overdrive ability, and the Prowl Rider’s allows the user to mount and control their very own gigantic bug. Yeah, it’s absolutely incredible. Despite further new mechanics such as a stamina meter that puts a cap on how often you can use abilities, active reloads that’ll get bullets into your weapons quicker, and a new way of unlocking weapons that does away with picking them up off of corpses, simplistic fun is still at the heart of the experience. It’s a perfect setup for jumping in for a handful of missions, or as a distraction from some of the more serious titles on the market. Alongside the campaign, the series’ very first competitive multiplayer mode makes its debut with Iron Rain. Titled Mercenary, it’s a 2v2 grab for energy gems that can be sourced from the slaughtering of bugs. You’ll gain points by bringing those gems to certain points on the map while being wary of the enemy team who can steal what you’ve gathered if they kill you. Due to the small nature of the online environments though, this quickly descends into utter chaos. It’s tough to put any sort of strategy into practice due to the sheer amount of critters on-screen at any one time, to the point where just grabbing as many energy gems and banking them could be considered a major success. It’s successful as a quick dose of gratuitous fun, but it’s unlikely to hold your attention past an hour of anarchy.
