About

The Earth is in pieces...again! We've gotta do more to save the planet! --Loads and Loads of Giant Enemies-- The square Earth is under attack by giant enemies. Giant ants, giant spiders, giant bees, giant scorpions, giant UFOs, giant robots, giant monsters.... And if that weren't enough, there are also giant aliens, and even giant EDF soldiers. The situation seems hopeless! Still...there's nothing more satisfying than taking down these invading foes. --Create Your Own EDF Unit-- Teammates scattered around the world are waiting to be rescued. Select 4 teammates from among those you have collected and create your own team. Design the team perfect for your play style, select your equipment, and then deploy to battle. There are over 100 characters to collect! --Full Array of Soldiers from the History of the EDF Series-- In addition to soldiers from the mainline EDF series, this game also includes soldiers from the EDF spin-offs. Enjoy some familiar faces, as well as soldiers from the latest mainline release, "EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6." Includes over 600 equippable weapons and accessories. --Familiar Enemies are Back, Too!-- Enemies who ravaged the planet in previous releases have also crossed over into this world to join the fight. Enjoy fighting numerous enemies, including redesigned voxel versions of old favorites, as well as new enemies unique to this release. Includes over 100 missions and 5 difficulty levels. --Online Co-op & Offline Split-Screen Play Supported-- Up to 4-player online co-op supported. Also, as an exclusive feature for the PS4™ and PS5™ versions, split-screen play is supported, allowing you to defend the Earth with your friends and family. - ~The Story~ After Dark Tyrant was defeated, peace was restored on the square Earth—but now, it has been broken into pieces once again. We watched the skies, assuming any new enemies would come from above—which is why we were surprised when the supermassive "Gaiarch" emerged from below ground, shattering the Earth into pieces. YOU are the legendary Commander that once saved our planet. Now, we need you to lead another team to save our Earth again. The EDF never back away from defending the Earth, be it round or square—so let's go to the rescue!

    Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 is more of the same from the previous entry and, honestly, it never needed to be more than that. It's the sort of chaotic, messy fun that lets players just forget about everything and chant "EDF! EDF!" on their brain. Sometimes silly is good.

    In a way, I get it: there isn’t a lot that differs Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 from its predecessor. It’s a bunch of new levels and characters, with the added benefit of feeling a bit more polished than before. With that being said, just being able to enjoy more of a shockingly competent formula with slightly better visual effects, less glitches and even more content is already great in my books. It’s still tons of fun, so “more of the same” in this case is a good thing.

    World Brothers 2 é um excelente título introdutório para quem não conhece EDF, assim como para fãs de longa data que procuram uma experiência mais direto ao ponto e que permite uma experimentação mais rápida.

    If you’re looking to scratch that EDF itch, Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 is a decent enough way to do it – but EDF 6 is considerably better and more engaging, and that does make it a harder game to recommend. It’s still fun, for sure, because EDF mostly has that pizza-like quality that even when it’s slightly bland and predictable it’s still quite good – but I can’t help but feel that a fully-fledged World Brothers sequel should perhaps have taken its LEGO-like destruction mechanic a little further, or leaned more into the abject silliness of some of your comrades.

    While it's not all that different from its predecessor, Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 proves to be a worthy follow-up, offering more missions and more Brothers to collect, and ultimately just being more fun in general. Whether you're an existing fan of the series or want a fun way to dip your toes into it, World Brothers 2 is easy to recommend.
