Earth Defense Force 6 review - the ultimate bug hunt

Earth Defense Force 6 makes a horrendous first impression. Opening with a stunted tutorial ripped out of the 2006 PS3 bargain bin, Sandlot's sixth mainline entry in its generations-spanning arcade shooter spends its opening minutes in a drab, poorly rendered military bunker. Compared to the real game's frenetic, balls-to-the-wall action, your introduction is a grating tutorial in one of the ugliest rooms game engines can render. You're then pushed out into an already-razed environment that does little to excite.

Earth Defense Force 6 review bombing sparks action on player accounts

The Earth Defense Force 6 Steam launch has been a mixed success. Finally arriving on PC, the bold, bright, and bananas co-op game has been met, quite rightly, with high player numbers and some serious raw enthusiasm - to this day, there is nothing like the EDF series, and we're glad the latest edition has finally gotten a port. There is, however, a problem. In order to play Earth Defense Force 6 multiplayer, you need to make and link an Epic Online Services account, even if you and all your compadres are using Steam.

[Urgent] Regarding the requirement for users to sign into Epic Games

Thank you for all the feedback on “Earth Defense Force 6.”

We are following them carefully and regarding one of the issues with the most feedback we'd like to share a message for all the users.

The EDF6 development team is currently reviewing/reassessing the requirement for users to sign in to their Epic Games account.

At this time, we are unable to provide specifics on how much time it will take to remove this requirement, but we will continue to work on it while we address current and future feedback.

Earth Defense Force 6 players on Steam will only need to sign into Epic once, say publishers in apology for "lack of advance notice"

Earth Defense Force 6 players on Steam aren’t happy about having to sign into the Epic Games Store, it seems. The latest entry in the co-op ant-control shooter launched yesterday, and critics reckon it's a decent time. Still, it’s currently sitting at an angry red 'mostly negative' on Steam. In response, D3PUBLISHER have put out an apology statement, reassuring players that this third-party log in will only be required once.
