5th Finished Game of 2023


Earth Defense Force: World Brothers (2021) (Steam)


To finish, or better, give a break in the Earth Defense Force series, follows analysis of the game I played in parallel to the other games.

Spin-off of EDF, World Brothers has a voxel graphic style, game is a parody/homage to the whole franchise, including other spin-offs as well as original characters.

Different from the original games, here instead of classes with their variety of weapons, we have 62 characters with unique abilities and their respective weapons, each character has 3 variations (basically a change of colour palette with different stats), each character has a SP bar which is basically their unique 'ultimate' attack and a secondary ability such as rolling, flying, dropping mines, protective barriers, etc.

Game is divided in bringing all classes of his franchise and original characters, being nothing more than caricature dolls of various countries like Cowboys representing the U.S., Ninjas and Maids representing Japan, Sambistas representing Brazil and so on, history boils down to an entity called Dark Tyrant who starts the game literally destroying the planet Earth leaving to the characters rebuild the planet as if it were pieces of Lego.

Game is great and very entertaining, but fails by the repetivity, dozens of missions on the same map, as previously said variations of the same characters with different colour palette, after finished, game only instigates you in question of catch all the variations of weapons of each character.
