  6.0

  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

  4.0

  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.
