  The ageing visuals can’t quite deliver on the promise of that ‘Insect Armageddon’ tagline, either. It’s impossible not to become desensitised to the spectacle after a few hours. After that, EDF gradually loses momentum. Its extensive armoury can’t stop the rot, and the end result is decidedly shallow

  Insect Armageddon is terribly cheesy in all the right ways. The lack of split-screen is a bit of a disappointment, but the mindless shooting and better performance on PC is simply too fun to keep me from caring all that much

  Overall Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is a game that comes up short in almost every category. Yes, it is fun to kill insects and robots – everyone loves to do that. However, there is not enough variety in the enemies, missions, or classes to keep things from becoming stale rather quickly

  At least EDF is honest about what it is, and delivers the same thrills and more often at a significantly lower price. To put it sweetly - and with a delicious culinary metaphor! - Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is all cake and no icing

  If you like the idea shooting a rocket into the head of a twelve-foot tall ant and watch it fly spinning into the horizon, buy this game. If you like squad-based shooters that use more than sepia tones and are willing to accept a little silliness, buy this game

  Insect Armageddon feels trapped between the competing goals of trying to emulate its cult classic forebear and trying to be a modern video game. It splits the difference, and the result is a game that probably won’t please fans of modern shooters or fans of 2017.

  Insect Armageddon can be enjoyed in short intervals with friends, but don't expect anything more than a B-list multiplayer rental. It's a generic shooter that brings nothing new to the table, and there are far better options in the backlog to cure your summer boredom

  There are certainly issues, such as the lack of variety, and playing alone is tiresome, but this game manages to overcome those problems and keep on ticking. Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is another good entry in this ridiculous franchise, and there's lots of enjoyable cooperative content for the reasonable $40 price tag

  I wish the campaign was longer and the ending more satisfying. I wish there were more enemies (though the new ones are really disgusting). I wish there was more variation in the levels. But despite all that, I love EDF to death. It delivers a metric ton of stupid fun. Plus it retails for only 40 bucks. You have no excuse not to give it a test drive

  This is normally the part of the review where I'd say "But if you just want to shut your brain off and shoot some bugs, then -- blah, blah, blah" but it would just be too insulting in this case. Even the most brainless of braindead fare can aim higher than this rat-hitting-the-feeder-bar inanity. You deserve better.
