Game profile

Earth Defense Force 5

An arcade third-person shooter where you play an EDF soldier fighting giant alien insects and machines. Levels throw enormous hordes at you, and you pick weapons and loadouts to survive. It can be played solo, in online co-op or split screen, with a deliberately goofy tone.
