Gameplay
Ideally, the gameplay for all titles in the series is the same.
InEarth Defense Force 5,you start by settling on one of the four classes and picking a loadout.
Each class features a distinct playstyle, and the loadouts are customizable.
Unfortunately, you have to make this choice before each of the 110 missions in the game.
Moreover, the objective is simple: kill anything extraterrestrial.
But it can be overwhelming when battling creatures ten times your size.
To acquire these, you must drop the baddies who drop armor, health, and weapon pickups.
Comparatively,Earth Defense Force 6retains the four classes.
The developer, however, explicitly stated that this is the largest game in the history of the series.
The game will feature more weapons and missions than ever before.
So far, this is all we could get on the western release.
Verdict
So there you have it.
If you are an EDF fan, you know theEarth Defense Forcegames have progressively improved.

However, if you could’t wait for the Western release, don’t let localization hold you back.
