Earth Defense Force 2025 is a third-person shooter from developer Sandlot. A sequel to EDF 2017, it sees the planet Earth once again threatened by giant bugs and an alien threat known as the Ravagers. That is all you really need to know about this game’s story. It’s a throwaway tale, filled with B movie dialogue and equally cheesy voice acting. The main focus of this game is to kill everything in sight and have fun. EDF generally delivers, though it is not without its annoyances.
Sanctum 2 comes from developer Coffee Stain Studios. They’ve made the original Sanctum back in 2011. The Sanctum series is an FPS tower defense game on ‘roids, where it combines the basics of a normal tower defense with the adrenaline of an FPS. Sanctum 2 takes place on the planet LOEK III, where you are tasked with protecting cores from the alien race. The story that takes place is represented by a series of comic strips throughout the campaign and give a little back story on the fight you’re going to take part in. In the campaign you can either take the story on by yourself or with a total of 4 players in co-op. There is a total of 16 maps to battle across and they come in different environments so adapting is a huge part of this game.
