Tries to push the franchise forward
Just as playable as past entries
Same gloriously destructive gameplay as ever
New soldier class makes for an innovative new style of play
Incidental plot elements are surprisingly well executed
New classes that all have differing strengths in combat
Universal weapon pool
So no more frustration of getting an amazing weapon that's only usable by Fencer
Sixplayer online coop
Cosmetic character customization to show off your soldier's style

Welcome changes to the EDF formula
Graphics are better

Missions can be challenging but rewarding
The editors didn't like
Changes don't feel substantial enough or fully thought out
Nothing you haven't seen before. Actually
It's less than you've seen before in some aspects
Graphics and performance still can't quite keep up with the series' ambitions
Movement and combat is stiff and unwieldy at times
Later levels lack incentives to keep going
Mission variety is fairly tame
Various connection issues and crashes ahead of release (which have gotten cleared up with the 1.01 patch)
The unique and silly weapons don't get unlocked until later on
Requiring a fair amount of grinding and luck to unlo
Store is somewhat confusing
Paying for weapons sucks
Difficulty is a little high on normal
Story isn't very compelling and voice acting is unimpressive

Changes don't feel substantial enough or fully thought out, Nothing you haven't seen before. Actually, it's less than you've seen before in some aspects
Its ultimate execution is flawed and could use heavy revisions
Various powerful guns, PA gear is cool, Missions can be challenging but rewarding
Story isn't very compelling and voice acting is unimpressive, Framerate issues caused by too many enemies
Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain lets you blast away at hordes of alien enemies, making you feel powerful. The framerate drops when too many enemies appear, but it doesn't ruin the game. The story isn't very compelling, but manning your PA gear in combat ma...

Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain is certainly the prettiest insect-splatting simulation to grace the PlayStation 4 and there are a number of innovations to appeal to a Western audience, but Iron Rain still falls into that campy B-movie aesthetic...

Abstract: Several years ago I reviewed Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon for the Xbox 360 and aside from being a tad creeped out by giant bugs running around, I enjoyed it. Just over seven and a half years and a few more installments later and I got the opport...

Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain offers players with a nice change of pace from the hyper-connected and competitive nature of contemporary gaming, with a game that actually feels like a game...
Never takes itself too seriously, Silly, chaotic action with plenty of variety, Absurd levels of customisation across classes
Looks like a PS3 game at times, Performance issues are hard to ignore
I wouldn't recommend Iron Rain over Earth Defense Force 5, since it fails to deliver the distilled, charming experience I adore from the Sandlot series.That said, it makes some welcome advancements to the formula, with deep customisation features and plen...

At first blush, I worried that Iron Rain was a little like EDF lobotomised – a little ‘saner', more approachable, but lacking a certain something for the process. But as I played more, began diving into meaty, 15-20 minute battles, kept changing my loadou...
