Why players love itThings to know
78% of themes are praise22% are divided0% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
23 of 119 sampled reviews raised it
This negates all the usual negatives of playing an EDF game on your own, with 4 builds at once you can cover any weakness like air raider usually being very fun until you have to move somewhere far away.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
22 of 119 sampled reviews raised it
World Brothers 2 actually improves on the first with snappier movement, better abilities, and weapons that feel distinct.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
20 of 119 sampled reviews raised it
Last but not least, the story is actually kinda entertaining and funny, and the music quite recycled, serviceable but with some really neat pieces.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
19 of 119 sampled reviews raised it
Characters from numerous Earth Defense Force games return alongside newcomers, creating an impressive crossover roster that celebrates the history of the franchise.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
11 of 119 sampled reviews raised it
I would probably recommend the PS5 version over the PC one only because it has true couch coop.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 119 sampled reviews raised it
All the voice actors did an amazin job, the models look great and some have damage textures.
