About Earth Defense Force 5
Earth Defense Force 5 is an arcade shooter set in 2022, as the Earth Defense Force (EDF) fights an all-out attack by unknown life forms. You take on missions as an EDF soldier, battle immense enemies and help restore peace to Earth. The conflict begins when a huge fleet of starships attacks an EDF base on the outskirts of a city in Japan’s Kanto region. The attackers, known as the Primers, are an intelligent extraterrestrial civilization; enormous insects also attack a base built further underground.
The Primers
The Primers bring the series’ first humanoid alien foes. You face these intelligent enemies as the EDF fights back against the invasion.
Missions and classes
You choose one of four EDF classes for missions. Completing missions unlocks new ones and advances the story, and you can switch classes before missions as often as you like. The game contains more missions and weapons than previous entries in the series.
Co-op play
All missions support online co-op for up to four players, as well as local split-screen. You can play alongside EDF soldiers around the world.
Battlefield damage
Armor peels away from enemies where you shoot them, and their fluids spill onto buildings and floors.
