Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable Previews

"Earth Defense Force 2017 is not really a good looking game, nor is its sound anything to hold in high regard, but it gets a lot of its gameplay right, and somehow this quirky title always seems to show up at just the right time on a system to let us know that yes, loot-heavy action RPGs are still a total blast to play - even if other publishers out there haven't bothered to fulfill our wishes for more of them."

"Essentially, all of this works together to make a game that is damn near endlessly replayable. The short mission structure keeps you in that “just one more game” mindset, and the tiny increases in hit points (I mean Stamina) make every mission feel like you’re accomplishing something. If you try out one of the harder difficulty settings and just can’t seem to beat it, you can always grind for a bit on the easier modes and come back to it later."

"Forty dollars is a lot to spend for such simplistic and repetitive gameplay, but its position as one of the few shooters on the Vita goes a long way toward making up for this considerable shortcoming. Couple that consideration with its highly enjoyable multiplayer component and its inclusion of a fun new playable character, and Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable emerges as a clear superior to its faulty but beloved predecessor."
