World Brothers 2 provides excellent upgrades to mechanics from the first game to make this one feel even better to play.

Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 may be a bit basic at times but it offers a fantastic and colorfully chaotic experience of protecting the world from strange enemies with even stranger allies.

Just like the in-game character, I'm a very happy Canadian bear because EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: WORLD BROTHERS 2 is finally here.

"Better late than never," we often say, usually to excuse our own lack of interest or effort. But in this case, it's true. Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 is my first EDF game, and I'm having a blast with it.Read More

Of all Earth Defense Force games, World Brothers is easily its most easily recognizable, with its colorful presentation, voxel-like graphics, and light hearted premise. It’s also, ironically enough, the most polished, and dare I say, fun, of all of the many games in the franchise to have ever been released by D3 Publisher ever since its inception, more than twenty years ago. A follow-up to this successful spinoff was more than obvious, but I never thought Earth Defense Force: World Brothers...

I like the improvements Yuke’s made to the first game. While they could have phoned in the development of World Brothers 2, I was greeted instead with a completely new story, lots of new brothers, and enough enemy variety to keep me entertained through the end. I was pretty impressed with the end product and think it’s a pretty good addition to the EDF franchise. I also had a really great time playing with my friend and others online, even if my online time was limited.

While it's not all that different from its predecessor, Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 proves to be a worthy follow-up, offering more missions and more Brothers to collect, and ultimately just being more fun in general. Whether you're an existing fan of the series or want a fun way to dip your toes into it, World Brothers 2 is easy to recommend.

Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 is exactly what I want to see from the EDF formula, and it's wonderful on the Steam Deck.

8/10

Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 is a surprisingly polished EDF spin-off that is fun for newcomers and veterans.

If you’re looking to scratch that EDF itch, Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 is a decent enough way to do it – but EDF 6 is considerably better and more engaging, and that does make it a harder game to recommend. It’s still fun, for sure, because EDF mostly has that pizza-like quality that even when it’s slightly bland and predictable it’s still quite good – but I can’t help but feel that a fully-fledged World Brothers sequel should perhaps have taken its LEGO-like destruction mechanic a little further, or leaned more into the abject silliness of some of your comrades.

If you can get past the childish and highly repetitive English dialogue, Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 is a great option for players looking to mindlessly blast giant insects, aliens and Kaiju to bits with their friends, either online or with a local buddy.
