This was a super welcome surprise today: there's a #HumbleBundle with almost the entire #EarthDefenseForce franchise except for the newest game Earth Defense Force 6. This is probably my favorite game franchise in recent years.
$25 gets you #Steam keys EDF 4.1 and just about all of its DLC, EDF 5, EDF Iron Rain, EDF World Brothers and World Brothers 2. That's like 90% off or something, I don't do math. Also it's like, charity of something?
If you've never played these games before, they are basically old #Kaiju movies where you play as infantry with increasingly unrealistic weaponry, killing swarms of bus-sized insects and aliens and robots etc. They lean into their b-movie atmosphere, and take themselves hilariously seriously.
Usually I opt for the Japanese audio tracks in games like these but the English dub is so hilarious that you have to keep it on.
