Earth Defense Force is a series of low-budget Third-Person Shooter games developed by Sandlot and published by D3 Publisher.20 Minutes into the Future, scientists have discovered radio wavelengths from outer space, thus proving the existence of extraterrestrial life. Unfortunately, these aliens aren't here to give humans an olive branch and welcome baskets, they're here to take over the Earth. Moreover, before they do so in person, they deploy shock troops in the form of swarms of giant] bugs, robots, dinosaurs and other assorted B-Movie Monster Mash. Not to sit idly by and let the aliens pave a path of destruction, governments of the world establish the eponymous Earth Defense Force, a unified multinational military effort, to stand up against the invaders.One of the main draws of the series is how the game makes the player feel like they're in a Japanese Kaiju B-Movie as they take on legions upon legions of enemies and Godzilla-sized (And occasionally Godzilla-looking as well) bosses. The gameplay throughout the series is relatively simple: for the most part, you take control of an infantry soldier of the EDF to shoot down any and all aliens throughout many stages of the game. Along the way, you can find armor power-ups that increases your soldier's maximum health and weapon boxes to obtain new weapon; more powerful weapons are usually found by playing through the missions in harder difficulties. It's as simple as that... right until you get stomped into the ground.The games in the series so far includes: Monster Attack / The Earth Defense Force (2004, PS2) — Originally released in Japan in 2003 as Vol. 31 of D3 Publisher's Simple 2000 Series of budget title games for the PlayStation 2 and the first game in the Earth Defense Force series. It was never released in North America but was released in Europe in 2004 as "Monster Attack", a title most likely intended to be a Shout-Out to the Mars Attacks! series of trading cards, while also have aliens invade Earth with robots, flying saucers and giant bugs simply because they can. Global Defence Force / The Earth Defense Force 2 (2007, PS2) — Released in Japan in 2005 as Vol. 81 of the Simple 2000 Series and a sequel to The Earth Defense Force. The sequel expanded on the original with more missions, new enemies, and introduced the Pale Wings, female soldiers equipped with jet-packs with the ability to fly and reach higher ground. Like its predecessor, never got a North America release but it was released in Europe as "Global Defence Force" and "Terra Defense Force" in Korea. There is no voice acting in the EU version. Earth Defense Forces 2 Portable (2011, PSP) — A re-release of Global Defence Force for the PlayStation Portable. Only released in Japan. Includes seven new levels and new high-level weapons. Earth Defense Forces 2 V2 (2014 Playstation Vita) — Another re-release of Global Defense Force for the Play Station Vita, including all the content added to Portable. Also adds a variant of the Air Raider character from Earth Defense Force 2025, though he cannot call in vehicles since that is not how this game works. Released in North America in Fall 2015 courtesy of XSEED Games under the title Earth Defense Force 2: Invaders from Planet Space. Global Defence Force Tactics / The Earth Defense Force Tactics — The oddball in the series. Released roughly around the same time as Global Defense Force but it was made from a different developer. The game was developed by thinkArts, and unlike the two previous games, this game was a tactical turn-based strategy game. The story took place after the events of The Earth Defense Force 2. Earth Defense Force 2017 / Earth Defense Forces 3 (2007, 360) — Released in 2006 in Japan, and while this is the third game in the series, it is first game to get a North American release. The game is more-or-less a remaking of the original Earth Defense Force. Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable / Earth Defence Forces 3 Portable (2012, PlayStation Vita) — Re-release of EDF 2017 for the PlayStation Vita. Adds the Pale Wing character from it's predecessor Global Defence Force, and includes seven new levels and new weapons, including some used by the Fencer in 2025. Earth Defense Force 3 for Nintendo Switch (2021, Switch) — A port of Earth Defence Forces 3 Portable with online multiplayer up to four players. Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon (2011, PS3, 360, PC) — More or less a follow-up to Earth Defense Force 2017, however it was developed by Vicious Cycle Software instead and the first game developed, and set, outside of Japan. Earth Defense Force 2025 / Earth Defense Forces 4 (2013, PS3, 360) — Released in July 2013 in Japan and February 2014 overseas, it is the true sequel to Earth Defense Force 2017 and more or less a remake of Global Defence Force. Taking place eight years after the events of Earth Defense Force 2017, the Ravagers have returned in an attempt take over Earth again. Applying elements from the previous installments, Earth Defense Force 2025 features four playable classes (Rangers, Wing Divers, Air Raiders, and Fencers) and online multiplayer. Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair (2015/2016, PS4, PC; 2022, Switch) — An Updated Re-release of 2025, released in Japan for the PlayStation 4 in April 2015, following in December for North America and the next February for Europe. A PC port through Steam came worldwide in July 2016. It includes an expanded campaign, some Quality-of-Life improvements and some remixed levels. A re-release for the Switch is planned for 2022. Earth Defense Force 4.1: Wingdiver the Shooter (2018, PS4, PC) — A spin-off of EDF4 focused entirely on the Wing Divers, with a shift in gameplay from third-person shooter to top-down arcade-style shoot-em-up. Earth Defense Force 5 (2018): Released in Japan, the US, and Europe on the PS4 and later on PC. It is another Continuity Reboot of the series. Once again players are taken back to the first invasion of the alien threat. This iteration of the series updated its graphics, added more blood and gore, new weapons and equipment, a few new enemies, some enemies from previous titles and introduced new character features to the four classes introduced in earlier games. Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain: A spin-off title and yet another Continuity Reboot announced on Tokyo Game Show 2017 for the Playstation 4. It was developed by Yukes. In Japan it wasn't even titled "Chikyuu Boueigun" and the title font suggest that it's a sequel to Insect Armageddon, although it's not the case. Earth Defense Force World Brothers (2020): A Spin-Off Hero Shooter game with blocky voxel graphics, featuring a Crisis Crossover plot of the enemies from all of the previous games (even Insect Armageddon and Iron Rain) joining forces. A new EDF has to fight Back from the Brink with the help of "Brothers" (and Sisters) representing each game's versions of the main classes, alongside several brand-new Captain Ethnic characters that can be recruited. Earth Defense Force 6 (2022): A sequel set three years after the end of Earth Defense Force 5. The game takes place on a dying Earth where the alien Primer civilization invades once again.Has no relations to the Shoot 'Em Up Earth Defense Force developed by Jaleco.Good luck out there, the Earth is counting on you! | |

Self-Plagiarism | |
| Earth Defense Force (Video Game) / int_116f6f1c | comment |
Self-Plagiarism: Two years after the success of the original game, series publisher D3 released Simple 2000 Vol. 78: The Great Space War(aka: Space War Attack), a flight action game that, like EDF, has the player fighting a variety of giant bubs, Kaijus and alien aircrafts and with a similar goofy and low-budget vibes. Though it is not officially considered part of the series (The game has a different developernote It was made by Bit Town, the developers of the Sidewinder series, from which the game recycles a lot of assets and no EDF branding or any recognizable characters or elements from the series) but the intent to apply the EDF formula to another genre of game is obvious enough. | |

| Earth Defense Force (Video Game) / int_17caab49 | comment |
Target Spotter: Most of the Air Raider's damage potential comes from his ability to call in artillery and airstrikes. He can also equip a laser guidance system to direct missiles launched by allies, and certain Fencer missiles cannot be fired without this guidance. | |

Easy-Mode Mockery: Zig-zagged. You get the weaker weapons within Easy and better weapons on harder difficulties, but it's probably best to start on the easier difficulties to boost your health, as the hardest difficulties would be unwinnable without sufficient amount of health. | |

EDF 2017 gives us the Genocide Gun, a Wave-Motion Gun that deals 1,000,000 damage! The downside is that the blast could kill you (and your allies) too and certain non-mook enemies are immune to it, and you have unlock it by beating all 53 missions on Inferno. | |

| Earth Defense Force (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Some of the unlockable weapons are capable of incredible destruction, but are limited in their usefulness thanks to excessive blast radius (Friendly Fireproof is averted, making you a larger threat to your allies than the enemies), long reload or lock-on times, or simply having finite ammo that cannot be restocked. | |

| Earth Defense Force (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Insomuch as high explosives can be considered "boring," playing as a ranger with an assault rifle and basic rocket launcher may not be nearly as flashy as chucking grenades that can level entire city blocks or calling in strikes from a Kill Sat, but it's a loadout that gives you no glaring weaknesses and still affords you both crowd control and decent hard target stopping power. | |

Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": A good few of the enemies are just scaled up versions of Earth creatures, but the game will rarely call them whatever they look like, the basic mook enemies you encounter are called "Alpha" and "Beta" respectively, but they are in fact giant ants and jumping spiders, and the "flying Aggressors" are simply giant wasps. | |

EDF 5: After destroying Mothership no.11, all that's left of EDF is the Strategic Division head, the Chief Commander, Storm Team and a handful of soldiers. The Nameless, god of Aliens, joins the fight while all ten Motherships are rushing to protect it. EDF implements Plan Omega, forcing every still living human being to attack the motherships as a desperate attempt to buy the remaining soldiers a chance at fighting The Nameless. | |

Kaiju: The non-robotic and non-insect enemies. In the first two games, we have the Saurus, giant dinosaur-like monsters that breathe fire. In EDF 2017, we have Vallak, which are much like the Saurus from the previous games but they also have cyborg version, the Mecha-Vallak/Dino Mech, armed with plasma cannons on their shoulders. EDF 4.1 and EDF 5 have the Erginus, which is pretty much Godzilla with the serial numbers filed off. 5 has the even bigger Archellus, which is Anguirus on steroids. Iron Rain has Beizal as the Godzilla knockoff that can be thankfully taken down with small arms fire. The biggest threat, however, is Raznid, and is the series' largest kaiju to date. | |

And all this DESPITE it starting with the freaking Earth being destroyed as well as it is implied that you command what's left of humanity! | |

In general, increased mobility, as well as ability to switch characters on the fly (and have them teleported on your position as soon as you play) Unselected AI teammates don't suffer friendly fire damage and take reduced damage from enemies. | |

Character Class System: Starting with Insect Armageddon, the series started using different character classes with varying abilities. The classes that appear in most games are as follows: Rangers: The Jacks of All Stats who can excel in almost any situation and can wield a wide array of weapons. Wing Divers: Fragile Speedsters who use jetpacks to gain air superiority with their energy weapons while flying out of harms way. Fencers: Mighty Glaciers who compensate for their lack of mobility with the ability to use two weapons at once, including some of the heaviest weapons in the game. Air Raiders: Support-centric soldiers who can plant bombs and summon armored vehicles, from tanks and helicopters to Humongous Mecha. | |

Darkest Hour: All of EDF has been reduced to what can fit on one carrier ship at the end of 4.1. Mankind stares into its own extinction. A final voluntary mission intended as a combination of Suicide Mission and Face Death with Dignity is launched at the ravager brain, with little to no expectation of it actually succeeding. EDF 5: After destroying Mothership no.11, all that's left of EDF is the Strategic Division head, the Chief Commander, Storm Team and a handful of soldiers. The Nameless, god of Aliens, joins the fight while all ten Motherships are rushing to protect it. EDF implements Plan Omega, forcing every still living human being to attack the motherships as a desperate attempt to buy the remaining soldiers a chance at fighting The Nameless. | |
