3.5/5 ★ – FishToes's review of Earth Defense Force 4.1 - The Shadow of New Despair.

A lot of mindless shooting. I wish when I was selecting my gun I could see a picture or little video example of what it does, and I also wish there was a results screen so I could see the number of bugs I killed or civilians saved, etc. Most importantly I feel like it would be more satisfying if when I killed or shot a bug a tick or mark or something would display on my screen. I might as well just swing my mouse from side to side and hold down the chute button till I win. I have a lot of fun playing this game with friends but I don’t think I can play all these mission by myself as I just don’t find it super fun once you get past the “mindless shooter” portion
