Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair

A deliberately over-the-top third-person shooter where the EDF fights swarms of giant insects and walking war machines across dozens of missions. You pick from four classes and a huge pool of weapons, and you can play with a friend on the same screen or with others online.
