Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair reaches new heights in its gigantic military vs kaiju gameplay on PlayStation 4! Huge monsters clash with squads of giant robots as bomb-mounted tanks and flying troops equipped with laser rifles shoot it out with alien bug armies in the streets! With the new heavily-amoured Fencer class, the action has never been bigger or more explosive! EDF! EDF! EDF!

Soooooooo close to finishing the Vita version (EDF2). Twenty hours and 78 missions. Amusingly, for the platinum, you're expected to do it all over again with the other two character types (60 hours, say), and again at multiple difficulty levels.
Yes, because I've nothing else to play right now. Very good.

Great find turkey. Bought this on Psn a few months back for 20 odd. Steal at this price. Boring single player game but CO OP is where it shines!

Good find! Will pick up, played the coop last week with a friend, such a blast - EDF! EDF! EDF!

Is this coop split screen or online coop only?

Thought this game was total garbage. Could only tolerate it for about 2 hours.

It's very Marmitish. I love it myself for the co-op, it becomes surprisingly strategic on the Hardest and Inferno difficulties.

It is really rough. I really like all the tongue in cheek badness of EDF but this one seems far less fun than the old PS2 games. Most of the weapons are completely useless and it gets pretty boring using the rocket launcher.
The spider webs take an absolute age to take down and strands which drag you halfway across the map to your death are an atrocious design flaw. You can't release yourself as there are so many buildings in the way.
The general concept is great but could be so much more with a decent engine like UE4 (cheese intact).

This game is ridiculous. The EDF games are very niche but so much fun. I bought this one on ebay recently for dirt cheap, the very first time i played online i figured out you could sing a song with in-game commands. Me and a random player were taking turns at singing the lines to the EDF song. Best game ever.

4.1 is grindtastic too. I usually loathe those types of games but this is still fun to play even after all the hours I've put into it. I'm at 56% completion (though I only need 19 Inferno plays combined for the four classes), so close now and I just unlocked the WD's Gungnir last night, woohoo!
