7.0
Earth Defense Force: 2017 was low-budget, low-rent but high on fun. Now, with Vicious Cycle at the helm, the production values have increased and a new class system has been introduced, but the gameplay mostly remains the same. Unfortunately, it feels like somewhere along the line, with all the polish and shine, it’s lost its soul.

4.0
Insect Armageddon fails to capture the chaos that made its predecessor "special," meaning there's little to distract you from the simple, repetitive, and boring gameplay underneath.

6.0
This campy bug-blasting shooter from developer Vicious Cycle does an admirable job of improving on its predecessor's faults, but a short campaign, a lack of checkpoints, and glitchy gameplay make it tough to recommend to anyone but fans of the franchise.

7.0
Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon has lots of explosions and destruction, but not quite enough variety to keep things moving.

7.0
