They are supplied with the latest weapons and equipment, and have thousands of securing every continent. However people at first use to feel that the aliens weren’t going to be a threat.But then two years later, (which was 2017) first contact is made when suddenly hundreds of proceed to hover over every across the entire, led by a massive positioned over Tokyo, Japan. The aliens, which are identified as “The Ravagers”, initially make no aggressive action towards victims. And as the EDF is mobilized, giant acid spitting insects resembling begin to appear and attack civilians. The protagonist is an unnamed Captain in Storm 1, a Japanese unit regarded as the best in the EDF, and helps exterminate the ants in Tokyo. Soon after, the UFOs start releasing more ants onto the ground, proving their hostile intentions. An air assault is attempted on the mothership, but is utterly destroyed by alien gunships.
Giant and are added to the fray, which contribute to already heavy losses. After weeks of brutal urban warfare, the surviving EDF forces abandon the cities and begin a guerrilla campaign in the rural areas.While patrolling the Japanese countryside, Storm 1 is informed by command that an extensive alien nest is being built underground. From this nest, the Ravagers will be able to spawn an infinite number of bugs and bypass EDF defenses. Intelligence provided by Scout Teams shows that a single alien Queen is at the center of the nest, and its destruction will stop the production of the rapidly multiplying bugs. Storm 1 assaults the nest with the help of all available Ranger Teams, and successfully kills the Queen.A few days later, Storm 1 assists a Scout Team with monitoring the mothership, which has landed on the Japanese coast and appears dormant, damaged, and defenseless. Oddly, it is observed sucking in huge amounts of air and releasing carbon dioxide, implying that the ship is more than a synthetic machine, and may be the intelligence controlling the Ravagers. Command orders the Teams to assault the mothership with heavy weapons, but it re-activates and wipes out the Scout Team.Before the Ravager mothership retreats, it drops a massive four-legged mecha on the coast, which uses a powerful plasma cannon to assault EDF positions.
Storm 1 destroys the mecha before it can cause too much harm, and later neutralizes several cyborg creatures of proportions. While the Japanese contingent of the EDF continues to hold out, the rest of the world is soon overrun and enslaved. Japan stands as the last unoccupied territory.All remaining insects and mechs on the ground make a beeline to the bombed-out ruins of Tokyo, where the mothership has stopped to repair and arm an enormous cannon, capable of destroying anything in its path. The remaining EDF forces move to block the Ravager advance so Storm 1 can destroy the mothership.
In a climactic battle, Storm 1 focuses fire on the weak spots the cannon has revealed, and the mothership crashes to the ground, exploding in a huge fireball. The remaining Ravager forces become disorganized and flee.The Earth Defense Force begins operations to free the occupied areas of Earth, and by 2018 the last of the Ravagers are wiped out.
With the planet finally liberated, a collective chant of 'EDF! Is heard across the globe.Gameplay The player takes control of an EDF soldier who is part of the elite unit Storm 1. To fight these alien forces the player can access over 150 weapons in the game, ranging from assault rifles and sniper rifles to rocket launchers, grenades and laser weapons. Only two weapons may be selected for each mission. Some levels also contain vehicles which can be commandeered; a, a, a hoverbike and a are available. The game takes place across 53 levels featuring destructible environments, taking place in settings such as cities and caves. There is no penalty for collateral damage that is inflicted on the environment by the player, for instance buildings will crumble after sustaining a single hit from a rocket launcher or grenade.
Other EDF soldiers can be recruited or followed, and attack enemies on sight, as well as provide radio chatter.There are five difficulty levels. More effective weapons are dropped by the enemies in the game at the higher difficulty levels, encouraging players to repeat the missions. In addition to weapons, armor enhancements which function as permanent maximum health bonuses are dropped along with healing items.PlayStation Vita port A version of the game was announced on June 5, 2012 as Earth Defense Forces 3 Portable. The new version includes both local and online co-operative play, as well as the return of Palewing from. The game was released on September 27, 2012 in Japan. It was released digital-only in North America on January 8, 2013 and in Europe and Australia on January 16, 2013 as Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable.Reception ReceptionReview scoresPublicationScoreN/A7.5/108/109/1031/40(X360) 32/4030/40N/A8/10N/A3.75/5B−7/107.1/10N/AN/A7.3/10GameZoneN/A6.9/107.5/106.9/107/10N/AN/A6/107/10N/AThe Digital Fix7/10N/AAggregate score68/10069/100The game received 'average' reviews on both platforms according to the website.
In Japan, gave it a score of two sevens and two eights for the Xbox 360 version, and three eights and one seven for the Vita version; while Famitsu X360 gave the former console version a score of one seven, two eights, and one nine.Reviewers pointed out that the Xbox 360 version suffered from relatively poor graphics, a lack of many standard features and characteristically poor voice acting. However, said console version still received solid reviews from western critics, whose general consensus was that it is 'inexplicably fun'.
Some advocate it as a 'gamers' game' with nothing in the way of the pure game, like in his review; the console version's strong emphasis on arcade-style gameplay, with massively destructive weapons and hordes of enemies, suggests that this may have been the driving philosophy behind its design. Some outlets, however, claimed that said console version paled in comparison to its predecessor, which had a larger range of enemies, missions, weapons and a second playable character., for example, gave it six out of ten and said, 'The illusion of epic-scale warfare remains a powerful and entertaining one, broken most significantly by the player’s need to avoid overexposing themselves to its fundamentally tedious nature.'
Contents &Carriers in these two games are basically smaller versions of the. They have similar projections to the Mothership's, though these do not do anything, and spawn enemies from the green section on their underside. Since did not appear until Global Defence Force, in Monster Attack they are the only enemy spawners in the game.Unlike in all later games, Carriers in these games have no weak point; the entire vehicle is vulnerable to attack regardless of whether it is dropping enemies or not, meaning Carriers in these two games are not nearly as difficult to deal with as in later ones.EDF 2017 carrier in action.2017 features a redesigned carrier; while sometimes referred to as a 'UFO' in briefings, it is far less like the classic 'saucer' than the old design. Instead, it is a chrome-silver design that appears inspired by Federation ships from Star Trek, with a rear section mounting two large 'nacelles' added to the saucer section.The Carrier is very different in terms of mechanics; its entire body is now plated with heavy armor and is immune to all weapon fire. Only the spawner on its underside is vulnerable, and this is protected by a bay door that is usually closed except when the Carrier is dropping enemies.Like most mechanical enemies, Carriers will trail smoke when they are damaged, with sparks also added as the damage becomes more severe.Lightning squad faces an army of robotic ants, with an advanced carrier in the background.The Carriers first appear in Chapter 1 Mission 2:, though in an invulnerable state.The appearance of the carrier looks more sinister, and looks somewhat like a woodlouse or an odd robotic face.
In Insect Armageddon, the carrier plays the same role as before, but with a few differences.Most notably, this is the only game in the series where they are armed, firing cluster munitions from their spawning ports. Carriers never target Strike Force Lightning directly, but can carpet bomb the ground as is seen in the mission.There are two types of carrier, a smaller version with two spawning ports and a larger 'advanced' version with four. The latter variant is tougher and spawns more enemies at once.Carriers deploy enemies from the spawning ports on their sides, which are covered with iris-like armored doors when they are inactive. As before, these are their weak point; since they are smaller, there is a small degree of homing added to missile and rocket weapons fired at them, which will drop down and curve up into the ports. The brightness of the light in the spawning ports and the red circle at the rear of the carrier indicates its remaining health, growing darker as it takes damage.The Carrier's rear 'health indicator' spot also functions as a weak spot, and can be damaged / locked on to when the spawner ports are open. This is useful for dealing damage when the Carrier is dropping a large number of enemies (thus obscuring line of fire to the bays), or if missiles are not hitting the ports correctly.Carriers in Insect Armageddon do not crash vertically, instead diving to one of several scripted locations in an area, where they will drag along the ground before being obliterated in a massive explosion when they come to a halt.
The explosion will deal damage to anything nearby.2025 / 4.1'And while you're down there, steal anything that looks like wax or polish!' In and the standard 2017 model returns, now referred to as a Transport Ship.
