It's EDF, just a very thin, very simple version of it. The UI and graphics are meh, but that's on brand. The issue is that the series usually makes up for this with loads of weapons, scenarios, and levels. There are only 15 levels here, the weapons aren't very good, and there's not that many of them. Just go play another version. Basically any version. I put less than 6 hours into this and it feels like I've seen everything.

I like the game play and the simplicity of the plot. It is a good game to play when I just want to shoot things.

What if EDF was directed by Roland Emmerich? It... it would suck, to be honest. But it's still a pretty funny experiment, if you'll manage to grab it on sale.

Ends on a cliffhanger and is hella short
