Since it first launched in 2003 for the PlayStation 2 console, the “EARTH DEFENSE FORCE” series has earned a strong reputation for its relentless third-person wave shooter #gameplay and co-op fun, featuring swarms of enemies, a wide array of unique classes and weapons -- and charming B-movie dialogue and settings with cities under siege by giant insects, kaiju monsters, and alien invaders.

Twelve years have passed since mankind’s first encounter with the alien “Aggressor” invasion that devastated planet Earth. In this time of great despair, the battle to free mankind from the Aggressor’s extended assault continues in “EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: IRON RAIN”.
