How it feels

A frantic, over-the-top arcade shooter where you and friends mow down giant alien hordes with goofy weapons and cheesy dialogue.

What players say

Players are split on EDF 5. Many love its campy charm and addictive co-op, calling it the best worst game, but others warn about a $145 total cost with DLC and recurring multiplayer freezes that make it unplayable. Solo play is described as tedious due to manual item pickup and scaled enemy health.
