>Wants to protect humanity more than EDF themselves

>Helps Save USA and the WORLD.

Besides this, lets talk EDF, Iron Rain and both EDF 5 Mission Packs are out and we still need to talk more about these games.

So, what are, so far

>Best Weapons

>Best Enemies

-In Iron Rain, I would say that The Poison Energy Thrower is a weapon that surprised me with the effectiveness. It can really wreak havoc on Sideros and Larvae like few weapons can.

-Prowl Rider is a really nice class to play with if you want to go fast and have an exclusive vehicle to ride, sadly it was not expanded enough yet.

-Mission 50 was a real challenge and still gives me some hard time in hardest or higher.

-Enemies in IR are really hard to deal with compared to most of the one in EDF 5 in my opinion, but the Ravengers here are absolutely amazing when they transform. Wish they had used them more.

-In Iron Rain, the AA weapons are only acquired once you kill a certain number of enemies, but it seems that if you KILL the baby spiders, they count as spiders in the kill count.

Expect at least a Year probably.

>>16451128

That's Iron Rain, girls and boys can be all classes now.

>>16451135

It is inferior to the main EDF series, but Yukie's had a difficult task. They had to reboot the series completely, based on Insect Armageddon. That is a lot of work, and I must say that the only thing they failed is in how you acquire weapons in the game. Since it have four in game currencies that you need to worry about in order to unlock a weapon after you acquired it on a mission.

how to 4.1 fencer right proper? I love the heavy mortars but I wanna do good shit with the melee weapons too, I've already gotten dash cancelling down, just about

Well it isn't 5, that's for sure. EDF 5 was the mainline perfected and while some missions do fall a bit flat I'd say IR does an decent job. Weapons need an improvement though not a whole bunch have that good feel to them and buying them is kind of a pain.

If it lands on PC I'd say wait until it hits the $25 range. Not terrible for a company that did wrestling games before.

best melee builds I've found are either hit and run with massive explosion or kite and use a rapid fire weapon. So you obviously need a shield or javelin launcher in one hand, but for the other weapon I use the hammers/rollers for a big fuck off explosion especially cause you can get up to 90% damage reduction when using them. This is best against shield bearers or dashing into a swarm. For kiting, use something like the boxing arm (I can't remember the name for the life of me right now) and simply back away and fire until they get too close and then dash.

Try the force ax + jav combo, or dual force ax. Fastest cancelling melee weapons in the game, has some good versatility and utility, and has been my go-to weapon for green ants. They give unlisted damage reduction as well, around 80% I think, but attacks come out so fast you don't really need it. Downside is not as much damage as some other weapons.

>>16451135

It is pretty good for what it is. Definitely worth playing at some point. I find its fencer to be much more enjoyable than 4 or 5's. not as clunky, fast, or imbalanced as any of them, just a well rounded classic mech feel to em.

>Best Classes

Probably Prowl Rider. Haven't played it very much, but I can see its potential for combat and shenanigans.

>Best Missions

The ones where yer on a boat!

>Best Weapons

Rocket-propelled drill.

>Best Enemies

Tough call between Scourgers and giant crab. Scourgers are all around fun fights and have great designs, but the crab has a very EDF2 feel to it, which is best EDF design-wise.
