Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is Mediocre

This game was supposed to continue in DLC but it never happened, I doubt it would've made it that much better though.

I must agree, although I enjoyed the Gears Of War type design of the characters

That ending for infern was funny but also hella bad. "Roger roger" they a fuckin clonewars droid?

The amount of reaching in this video is crazy

Nah edf insect armageddon is one of the best games

this was my first EDF game and actually got me onto the series, i liked the game a lot, mainly because one feature was the npc allies could rez you at least once(if i remember right it's been awhile)

will you do the other 2 Spin-offs?

As a young teen this was one of the most disappointing games in my teenage and years. The best part of the game was the addition of the classes, I loved 2017 so much and I was so excited for this game only for it to be a disappointment. The over reliance on homing missles , hectors now being mini bosses, lack of levels and epic bosses like ant queen, legally distinct godzilla, spider king, HORRENDOUS flying enemies, limited enemies on screen etc ruined the game but I actually prefer the weapons for the classes in this one, sometimes I just want to equip a reliable normal gun on someone not named ranger. As for the tone I THINK what they were going for is a throw back to cheesy Hollywood action movies like independence day as opposed to Japanese monster movies which in theory I like but execution wise it could have been better

It feels like a 00s reboot of a franchise like shadow the hedgehog or the edgy space invaders reboot

I personally think Insect Armageddon was the most underrated EDF out there. Insect Armageddon introduced me to the EDF series and I'm glad I discovered it. EDF is a underrated series in general and I'm really happy it was a part of my childhood. Also, I'm still surprised people make vids about EDF, especially Insect Armageddon and it makes me happy to see its still known. Honestly Insect Armageddon was probably one of my favorite ones and I recommend it for alot of people. Some people I have introduced it to judged it because of the graphics and the graphics are definitely out dated but I still think its a good game and deserves to be known. Thank you for possibly reviving the series along with with TheRussianBadger its amazing to see EDF content again.

Ah the curse of having fun memories with a game when you were younger and later on discovering that this is considered a bad game, joy. But for real though great video dude, honestly would’ve never expected too see a video essay of EDF like ever lol

Thanks for the vid

So apparently Insect Armageddon takes place during the same time as EDF 2017. In the final mission the EDF Commander states that Storm 1 (The Player) and along with a few others were the only remaining EDF Force. I guess Insect Armageddon acknowledged that based on the difficulty endings. In the Final Mission of Insect Armageddon You die. Still though the Final Mission is extremely underwhelming but not gonna lie though I actually found the Dialogue to be pretty funny for the Final Mission anyway. But I think you will like Iron Rain. It is much better than Insect Armageddon. Has some pretty cool designs too.

Ya, this games enemy designs r the best, Americans 2nd attempt "Iron rain" is my least liked because they mix half series from edf:ia and half goofy from jp edfs, edf iron rain still can't do story right

"Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon released in 2011 four years after Earth defense defense 2017" it took my brain a second to process that ngl

lol WHAT is that ending dialog??! xD

It's unfortunate that this game is so bad, it's a good thing you have some really nice friends who were willing to play this with you even though they didn't like it lol

As always your review is very well thought out and presented, look forward to the next video! :)

I'll always have a soft spot for Insect Armageddon because it was the first EDF title I ever played. I got an Xbox 360 for Christmas and one of the games that came with it was EDF: IA. I replayed it recently and I think it had a lot of great ideas Sandlot would cherry-pick and implement into their series.

Where I think the game falters is its scope and size. It's much a smaller and shorter game than the Sandlot ones. It also tries to be funny in an ironic way but misses the point. EDF's dialogue is great because it's played straight, but in Insect Armageddon, everyone's spouting quips and trying to be as sarcastic as possible.

Iunno, that pilot was pretty smooth. I'd fly with him.

Insect Armageddon looks like a interesting experiment, but yeah, it's not quite EDF. Same as Iron Rain, but IA seems a nicer atmosphere

Loving the amount of content lately, keep up the good work man!

For all of the constant shit talking about this game that I did while playing it, this is a fairly tame review. Dorkaxe easily could have done a bit about every time I said the game is bad while we were playing together.

Bro You need to do Hollow Knight

I agree, I was such a big fan of 2017, my friend saw this game and thought it was more cooler, maybe cause hes more of a graphics person at the time, I knew something felt off when playing it, the biggest turn off was the lack of levels that 2017 had tons of, and it didnt feel as fun to play, I didnt want anything to do with it after a first playthrough. And once I learned it was just a basic spin off I was glad that the series didnt become that lame...

This is not Dead Rising 3 DLC. We need Dead Rising 3 DLC.
