Insect Armageddon Product Details
Released on 21/07/2011
Insect Armageddon is set in New Detroit and features a Campaign mode that lets up to three players team up online to battle the insects and aliens across the completely destructible city. The nonstop action gameplay in Insect Armageddon is the fastest and deadliest in the series. To arm their EDF soldiers, players must cash in points to collect over 150 unique weapons and four upgradeable armor sets. In addition, the game also features a six-player Survival mode that pits a human squad against a nonstop onslaught of the largest enemies the aliens have to offer.
New Detroit’s giant bug problem is unavoidable, and mankind’s last hope lies with the Earth Defence Force to defend the world from the insect swarm, even if it means blowing up the entire city as part of the extermination process.
Features:
- Epic Battles Against Hordes of Insect and Giant Alien Robot Invaders – Players will face-off against non-stop swarms of attackers ranging from giant ants and spiders to robots standing more than 100 meters tall for the most outrageously destructive battles ever seen before.
- Online and Local Co-op Campaign Mode – Players can jump into Campaign mode via online co-op or grab a friend and work together to battle through the alien and insect swarms for world supremacy!
- Over 300 Weapons and Four Upgradeable Armor Types – Battle alongside an EDF squad through New Detroit armed with four upgradeable armor types and over 300 unique weapons including assault rifles, rocket launchers, energy weapons, sniper rifles and grenade launchers to repel the bug infestation from all enemy fronts.
- Completely Destructible Environments – Do whatever it takes to defend the earth. Use mortars and grenades to tear down entire city blocks from skyscrapers down to hot dog stands as you try to keep the insect invasion from infesting New Detroit.
- Six-Player Online Survival Mode Multiplayer Battle – Be victorious in an all-out fight to the finish in Survival Mode where up to six players are deployed to clash against an endless swarm of enemies that gets tougher with each wave.
- EDF has a niche but cult following among hardcore gamers, Japanese B-movie and SF fans. Other users will pass their way.
- EDF 2017 was released 4 years ago and many of its fans are now dying to play EDF IA.
- Fans are following EDF-related news very closely
- X360 Official Magazine UK: “You have no idea how pleased we are to see the return of the delightfully barmy EDF”

Earth Defence Force: Insect Armageddon Review
Bugging Out
Fans of cult video games will no doubt feel right at home in the Earth Defense Force universe the Japanese bug-splattering classics have been keeping us entertained for years. But now the series is back, with an American setting and a ton of new weapons and enemies. Can you handle an insect invasion of this ferocity?
Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon (Xbox 360, PS3) throws you and your squad of elite soldiers into the mean streets of New Detroit, a futuristic city that under attack from alien forces. A lot of these aliens take the form of bugs, so expect to fight off ants, wasps, and spiders and expect to fight off a lot of them! This is run-and-gun warfare on a scale that will dazzle and amaze you. It carnage so vast and relentless that wee still recovering from our playthrough! Gaspbr />The best defence...
The game's premise couldn be simpler: your mission is to move through the alleyways of New Detroit, making the place safe for humans once more. With some fearsome weapons in your hands - and squad-mates watching your back - it your job to take out the enemy as soon as they start erupting from the ground, or spewing down from floating drop ships. Boom.
Enemy waves come thick and fast, and as you progress through the levels youl find the threats you face getting bigger. After youe got used to the basic spiders and ants, youl be up against mechanical spiders, giant walkers, massive, eight-storey robots, and even a few unforgettable bosses. They all go down the same way, too: fighting for every last breath as you pump missiles into them.
Insect Armageddon pace is absolutely amazing - nothing can prepare you for the onslaught of the game missions, or the trauma youl be putting your trigger finger through. Find a spot, line up a target, fire at will and then do it all over again. EDF may not have the blockbuster graphics of a Modern Warfare 2 but if youe after a weighty bang for your buck, there no better game out there.
Kaboom!
There are plenty of options to get stuck into as well. As you progress through the missions, youl power up new armour classes, switching between light recon suits and more heavy-duty wear, and youl unlock new weapons for your team, starting with simple rocket launchers and assault rifles before scaling all the way up to massive homing-missiles and plasma shotguns.
You'll also get to try out a range of dangerous hardware. If fighting the invaders on foot is getting you down, why not climb into a turret, a giant mech, or best of all a massive tank to level the playing field a little? Just make sure you keep an eye on your vehicle health meter so you can get out before it takes too much damage and explodes.
Impressive though the player action is, what really amazing about Insect Armageddon is the way in which New Detroit reacts to the battle. This is a city where you can bring down every skyscraper just by firing a few rockets, allowing you to distract enemies and clear some space for you to finish the fight.
By the end of each level, the place will be in ruins and you will have killed literally hundreds of outer-space meanies. It like being a super-weaponised fly swat - and the game won judge you for how much damage you inflict on the earth while youe supposed to be defending it. Sweet!
On top of that, you can also enjoy this crazy alien slaughterhouse by teaming up with your friends. Insect Armageddon supports split-screen co-op for two, online campaign play with two extra players, and up to five friends for a survival mode that sees you facing wave after wave of overgrown bugs.
Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon may not take itself too seriously and with its rough graphics and simple animations, it isn the best-looking game youl have ever played, but if youe after a guilty pleasure to blast through with your pals, there simply nothing quite like it out there. Shoot guns, splat bugs, drive tanks and save the human race - if you ask us, that's what video games are all about.
Ants!
+ Great weapons.
+ Destructible environments.
+ Online play.Roboflop:
- Basic graphics.
- Basic sound.
- Ants and wasps, but no beetles?! -
