Just a quick video to show whats "EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: WORLD BROTHERS" about.
As for someone who enjoys the EDF games from time to time, EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: WORLD BROTHERS is also, so i would say, a pretty good EDF game. Its for sure better than EDF: IR (in SOME cases) but still a bit "odd" from the gameplay.
Sure, as EDF game, the bases are here. You and a small group of people are fighting against big bugs and other aliens which splitted our "cube earth" into pieces. You as EDF member have to get a team together and defend whats "left" from the earth, get earth back together and clean the universe "finally" from all nasty aliens.
Different in EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: WORLD BROTHERS, you dont collect weapons- or armor boxes but "brothers" and "sisters" which come with their own unique weapons as well. Max 3 per mission (+1 in some special levels) which feels a bit grindy from time to time. Gone is the "collect all the weapon and armor" boxes since the only boxes which exist are healing -, group healing and ability boxes.
Also, yes, you play with a group of 4 people now (every player who joins does, making it a 4x4 people in total) which are each unique of its own with special abilitys and stats. Some come with abilitys like a hookshot, throwing granades (or similar) or even calling airstrikes. Also, each character has to level up by "collecting" another copy of said person WHIIIiiiich is sometimes hard to do since it gives around ~100 characters you can get and some are more rare than the others -making it already noteable "grindy" if you can only get 3 random each mission. By leveling said characters up, they are able to use other weapon types like rocketlaunchers, snipers, melee, shotguns and like.
As for armor, unlike main EDF games you get now after each mission you did with a character(s) a bit of its own, each character his own armor WITHOUT collecting any armor boxes like other EDF games.
As for how it works, i like it and the voxel style is "fitting" to how the game plays and how the story (mostly fun and actual fanservice and jokes about actual old games fromt he series). I would rate this game better than EDF IR but maybe not better than EDF 5. Is it still worth it? For sure!
The difficulty ramps up around mission ~15-20 (IF you play on normal - In this video, i play on Hard). The first 5 missions, as nearly always in EDF games, are pretty easy and more a learning curve.
Here i show you mission 11 with 2 characters of my standart team (Jet and Fencer) and 2 i used just some missions (PR and Air Raider) but began to actually love already. It is still a working team wile the Jet and PR provide the agility and suppressive fire, the Air Raider gives the "punch" with the air strikes and the (way to over the top) rule of good super ability. Even if it looks like i dont use the Fencer here "that often", hes always my strong "fall back" character with strong close range attacks and a big health(armor) pool.
gameplay begins at 2.46 .
