Overview:
As everyone knows, you've either fought as part of the EDF or you've never experienced gaming at all. Each game charts the invasion of insect attackers from space and tasks you with gunning them down using a choice of weaponry, class and mission objective to fight back the waves as the buildings around you crumble into the streets. Arguably the king of budget franchises, this series has grown where other mid-low budget franchises have long since perished in a cut throat AAA, microtransaction world. Launching as part of the Simple 2000 series on the PS2, the franchise quietly struggled along until its niche appeal grew with the 2006 Xbox 360 release EDF2017. The word of mouth opened the series up to more players so that by the time its successors and spin-offs began to hit the games had a baked in audience.
