Earth Defense Force: World Brothers Review

The Earth Defense Force franchise has had its ups and downs, though I generally think the positives vastly outweigh the negatives. While the mainline series pretty much sticks to the formula fans have come to know and love, for better and for worse, the spin-off entries attempt to shake things up a bit without making significant changes to the core experience. Earth Defense Force: World Brothers, for example, boldly asks the question, "What would happen if we distilled the game down to its very essence and then made everything out of voxels?" From where I'm seated, this sounds like a very poor idea. Thankfully, I'm a person who doesn't mind eating their words, as World Brothers provides a wealth of content for fans of the EDF, new and old. Think of it as the Minecraft Dungeons of the long-running series.
