xyzzysqrlAfter The Witness, I needed something packed full of EXPLOSIONS and STUPID THINGS. So I dug out EDF2017.
EDF! EDF!
God I love this game. Storm 1 is you. Aliens approach the Earth! Scientists have named them The Ravagers. Will they be friendly? Oh no! Giant ants are attacking! It's the work of the Ravagers! Their spaceships are invincible unless you shoot the giant glowing spot! EDF! Everything explodes! You get new guns, like "Two guns taped together that shoot in a V" and a flamethrower and hand grenades that split into more hand grenades. Oops, R&D didn't make the tracking system for your missiles correctly. There goes half the city!
NOT YOUR PROBLEM.
Follow the captain! The captain's dead! Are you scared? Hell no, you're Storm 1. It is official EDF series canon that after everyone else died, Storm 1 stood in a field with a rocket launcher and assault rifle and fought a giant-ass transforming UFO Mothership until it blew up. He's like Ace Combat's Mobius 1, but on land. You cannot stop Storm 1. Not even the Mothership Laser can stop Storm 1, and it has the special power to not just blow up half the city, but also MURDER THE FRAMERATE. Try dodging in super slow motion!
There have been other EDF games. Insect Armageddon tried too hard, Invaders From Planet Space is on the Vita, EDF 2025 was awesome, EDF 4.1 will probably sell me a PS4 someday. But this is EDF! EDF! EDF! 2017 and it's AMAZING. One of my favorite games ever.
