Does that sound good? You can bet it sounds good to me. Here’s the EDF song to cheer you up if IRON RAIN is not your cup of tea:
To save our mother Earth from any alien attack
From vicious giant insects who have once again come back
We’ll unleash all our forces, we won’t cut them any slack
The EDF deploys!Our soldiers are prepared for any alien threats
The navy launches ships, the air force send their jets
And nothing can withstand our fixed bayonets
The EDF deploys!Our forces have now dwindled and we pull back to regroup
The enemy has multiplied and formed a massive group
We better beat these bugs before we’re all turned to soup
The EDF deploys!
Oh, and if you missed the previous EDF PC release, don’t forget to check out our review. It’s definitely one of my highlights of 2019 when it comes to action games.
