Reception
Reviewers pointed out the game suffered from relatively poor graphics, a lack of many standard features and characteristically poor voice acting. However, the game still received solid reviews from western critics, whose general consensus was that the game is "inexplicably fun". Some advocate it as a "gamers' game" with nothing in the way of the pure game, like Kieron Gillen in his 9/10 Eurogamer review; the game's strong emphasis on arcade-style gameplay, with massively destructive weapons and hordes of enemies, suggests that this may have been the driving philosophy behind its design. Some outlets however, have claimed that the game pales in comparison to its predecessor, which had a larger range of enemies, missions, weapons and a second playable character.
Earth Defense Force 2017 holds a Game Rankings score of 70.67%.
