The fourth Earth Defense Force perfects the arsenal, expands the classes and delivers one of the most gleeful co-op rides on 360. Technically dated, sure, yet no other game matches its big dumb friend-bonding magic.

"From the very first seconds"
The sequel inflates the formula with four soldier classes, hundreds of weapons and ever more oversized invasions of giant insects and colossal robots. The co-op release, where you pulverise hordes while collapsing entire cities, reaches peaks of gleeful fun. Brawny, generous and fiercely unabashed, a shooter that celebrates mass destruction with irresistible energy.

Is Chikyuu Boueigun 4 still worth playing in 2026?
A Sandlot sequel, known in the West as Earth Defense Force 2025, Chikyuu Boueigun 4 greatly enriches the formula with four soldier classes of distinct styles, an outsized arsenal and even more massive enemy waves. Cooperation for up to four players and the gleeful chaos of ravaged cities push the experience to its peak. The modest tech and the repetition stay embraced. An excellent game for fans of co-op mayhem, embraced B-movie spirit and large scale alien invasion.
