EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 4.1 The Shadow of New Despair

it’s pretty fun. firing a plasma launcher into a big group of giant ants does something to my brain that i don’t think any other game can.

Genuinely amazing game, I just wish the games didn't force you through the snooze fest that is Normal difficulty to get enough gear (and especially armor, mostly armor actually) to be able to play the higher difficulties (You can probably just coast off a decently equipped friend or randoms if you're not an asocial hermit though) I think I got shellshock from playing this ♥♥♥♥

Just a fun action game... Don't try to understand or follow the plot, because you will become lost and it only makes threadbare sense. Instead focus on Killing bugs and mechs and even godzilla lol. Many upgrades to gather, many new weapons and playstyles. The Action is top notch and the game is a blast. Even in 2026. You could probably run this game on a toaster.
