Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain | EVERY CLASS EXPLAINED + TIPS (Maximize Your Bug Squashing!) 

*Have I ever helped you make a purchasing decision or enlightened you on an awesome new game you enjoy?* Fan funding and sharing my videos among friends, greatly helps to support Boomstick Gaming. Thank YOU! I will try to answer as many questions as I can about the game and my full review will be up in just a few days so stay tuned!

*FINALLY ...* *Someone is talking about the new EDF*

jesus the jump in production quality is insane

this game deserved more than "Mixed review" on steam

Bruh the prowl rider is like he’s from attack on titan

The Prowl Rider is basically the *Vertical maneuvering equipment* from "Attack on Titan"

Haters gonna hate, but I think both 5 and Iron Rain are great EDF games, played thousands of hours both and liked every second of it.

prowl rider is my fav already just by looking at it. It's giving me some anime vibes as well like attack on titans and god eater I can tell am gonna enjoy this game and good tips too :)

It would be good to note that the prowl rider can have air battles with flying enemies by grappling on to them. When fighting a bunch of drones with the swords, I ended up being much higher than I could get with a jet lifter by the time I was done killing them all. Furthermore, as a pro tip, using a charge attack with a sword will allow you to keep your height/momentum while allowing you to recharge.

"Prowl Rider" IthinkyoumeanJaeger

I am madly in love with the air lifter, however, the heavy striker is by far the best if you have the right guns with immaculate range. Sitting across the battlefield and sweeping across with a laser beam, or using 7 shot lasers in tandem with each other gives for some of the most satisfying mission clears you can have until you get better guns with reload speeds that won't make you miss it.

“To Save Our Mother Earth From Any Alien Attack!”

An excellent commentary and breakdown of each class, and in an informative, but not dry or overly long, presentation. Very nice to see.

Rip air raider your Vegaltas and Tanks will be missed

I've never heard of this game but it looks freaking amazing.

It looks 'better' than the usual EDF titles, but at the same time it doesn't have nearly enough bugs or insane enough weapons to be a true EDF game.

Very nice video, bud! Honestly I was having trouble midway through the game. Just couldnt seem to stop failing missions and it was really bringing down my experience. Then I just kicked it to easy mode and became and unstoppable killing machine until I unlocked a ton of weapons and gear. Now I'm free to experiment with the harder difficulties with different combinations. Truly a hidden gem on the ps4 and the most fun I've had with a video game in a while

I'm enjoying the Prowl Rider ALOT with that kickass ability to have a spider summon a horde of baby spiders to destroy everything. Fave class out of the entire series.

This is pretty good tips, simple and easy to understand.

I just started playing this with my 4 year old son and I'm pretty sure he's a collaborator for the aliens. He keeps telling me they are nice robots and he keeps trying to shoot me instead of the bugs. Friendly fire my asshole! 🤨

Huh, it's already out? Is it console exclusive? Cuz I want it on pc....

Love the video, didn’t even know what this game was. Looks fun

Great, a second EDF game that may or may not be on PC one day. Now to try and forget it exists until that day comes.

Wow the prowl rider is pretty awesome. They all are! I like the changes they made from the main EDF series, though I am still missing the Air Raider.

Better than Anthem.. 😂

ok fine you got my attention now i just need to find 60$

The prowl rider is technically Attack on titan meets ant man with some iron man and excalibur from warframe (cuz of the sword shooting the lazer projectiles).

I'm sold on the heavy striker with the way it boost around. This really helps with how to handle the classes.

when i saw 6:10 "is this attack on insect?"

I loved No4. 1. This looks SOOO much better 👌👏👏👏👍

thanks vro

Im still remember playing the first edition eart defend force aaahhhh nostalgia

The Trooper is like the Storm-One from EDF3P (PSVita) or EDF 2017 (Xbox360) is just a "Air Rider" at the same time! To be honest is better like that. I can't wait to play the game ;p! Thanks for your video! it can help newcomers for this type of game ^^ (EDF! EDF! EDF!) Edit: that's why they put The Storm-One's uniforme on the Ultimate version of EDF: Iron Rain :p

Also where did you get the Elizabeth Laser rifle and the lazer gatlin gun Achmed? I'm quite jelly seeing those weapons in action.

Woooh, heavy firepower. But the prowl rider looks fun too.

I'm amazed that you didn't make the comparison between attack on titian and the prowl rider

This game looks awesome I'm buying

I want this so bad... EDF insect Armageddon was one of my first games and the first game I finished

YEEE NEW EDF

Damn the last time playing this game was on ps2 . It was beautiful how the ufo looks

So we have the Ranger, the Wing Diver, the Fencer, and the Attack On Titan Scout. Nice.

3:35 JUSTICE RAINS FROM ABOVE!

This game looks amazing. I've played the main EDF franchise games, and I've always loved the Trooper/Soldier class. Think I'll have to get this game too! Is Iron Rain even out yet?

I'm starting to catch a reference with the prowl Rider from AoT

the design of the heavy gunner in 4.2 looks infinitely better than the new heavy in iron rain.

Imma be waiting for it on xbox, I hope, fan of the EDF series

Pro Tip on the Heavy Striker: If you have something that makes a really big boom but don't like getting damaged by your own explosion, you can put up the Energy Wall THEN fire: you won't get damaged and you blow everything in your face to hell.

EDF! EDF! EDF!

I don’t mind the merger of classes actually , they should have gave the wing diver dual wield short swords or something , since they’re introducing swords into the series. I personally think the air raider and ranger were the same thing , they just did different stuff .. in EDF5 the AR was the most broken class next to WD, but what they lacked was mobility, defense , and offensive capabilities when it came to quick and close encounters. But this looks very dope can’t wait to play it!

Eren : we need backup Prowl rider : i got u guys Eren : ho is he

Where do you get the helmet that you used for the trooper?

I didn't know that iron rain came out after or was better than EDF 5. It's like if EDF took its self seriously

As much as I'm hyped for this game, but there is this one thing that really annoys me: - using items costs money... the same money you need to buy other weapons. As much as I love the usable items system, but this basically means that I only use them once to test these items and never again, since it hinders my progress. I think limited uses are enough to balance these items, but throwing money away is too much. ^^" That's why I've never bought arms in DmC 5 and that's why I've never used the hat-weapon, since using it costs red orbs. Anyway, that's the first game I'm hyped for that's released on my B-Day, and it still will be the best B-Day ever cause of it. x) I also can't really say what's the coolest gear for me, since every single one is awesome in its own way. But since I love mobility, I would say either the "Jet Lifter" or "Prowl Rider". :) I still can see myself having fun wrecking stuff while dual wielding. Yeah and the trooper always has a special place. Sure, now he has this dodge, but overall, he feels more grounded and the game turns into "Soldier VS. Aliens/Bugs" instead of "Fancy Flying Superarmor VS. Aliens/Bugs".

Damn, I already decided between trooper and the second one and decided to like the second one more, but then every other class you showed made me go 'yep gonna use that in the future' Edit: OK, after testing out all of them, I have to say the flying one is still my favorite. The E-Needle is very difficult to use in some occasions, while flying is always easily achieved. The E-Needle would be awesome if you could shoot the ropes to the side or back for quick dodges, but if you are stuck in a mess of bugs in front of you, you barely can get out of there.

my favorite game is hack and slash! prowl rider : hold my excalibur

Better than Anthem?

I need this game on PC, I hope one day for the port

Why is it that something feels off or missing but I admit prowl rider is badass

bieng stun locked and frozen as the heavy striker is a nightmare, but sometimes, just sometime i think the dual wielding perk is worth it.

I love wing diver but ... Prowl Rider is just so cool

Can you armor farm or is the hp just set to 3.4k?

It is time to take the fight to the enemy! Starship trooper style!

But will the genocide gun be in this?The one in Insect Armageddon was fun.

Two questions - Is there even more content than in 4.1? And how is the split-screen performance?

Here you seen the Xbox series X tests on backwards compatible game? Mostly frame rates improved all around without patches. Very curious to see EDF 2017 on series X

Remembered playing this on a ps2

I have only played the fencer and heavy classes, looks like I am gonna play Striker

Waiting for it to be released on PC

Does the Heavy Striker have any melee weapons. The Prowler looks fun, but I'm still having a blast in 5. Boostdashing with a Vulcan Hammer into a group of frogs is nothing short of awesome!

Where's my damn Air Raider? Don't tell me they cannabalized my class for the others.

I only have jet rider and soldier. Do u have to unlock prowl etc?

how to you unlock the other gears?

Im gonna miss air raider, with those bombardment

Lost planet 2 is my all time fave & underrated game. I've always wondered why we never saw another but I'm starting to wonder if edf games might scratch that itch?

How do u get new classes an weapons

I don't suppose you can do a list of weapons, items, and vehicles from low to high? everybody else did PA gears and/or AA weapons but not the other stuff.

Wait, the air raider was replaced by the scouts from AoT

I hope you can mix and match weapons on the Fencer class :d

How do you unlock the other classes, I have done missions 1 thru 8 and still only have the 1st 2

Wait there’s no plasma cannon welding wing divers?

Why do I see attack on titan theme being played with prowl rider ? ... And for the large enemy groups ( may it being in desert areas or being swarmed ) i opted out for the heavy striker

I would like to know more.

prowl i dont really care about the ride but spidermaning about is nice

I’m sorry but when you have the option to ride giant scorpions and zip around like your playing attack on Titan why would you use anything else?

Attack of the Insects!

Attack on Insect. The Prowl Rider.

honestly, I think the prowl rider is the coolest and most fun to play, yet at the same time, I end up going jet lifter because FUGGIN JETPACK!

Wait, what the heck, why is the heavy PA gear unable to carry as much things as the Trooper PA gear?

What's system is it on?

That jet lifter dash on the ground or just forwards should be available to the wing divers in 5 and 6 it's a shame it's not

Where can I get this game!?!

Alright where is petition to sing? I Want this on PC! PLEASE!!!

All the main 4 PA Gears have variants, or just the Prowl Rider ? Thank's in advance.

Good luck grinding so many crystals and coins to use those items. The crafting element is going to be fuuuuun.

Wait so is there no Air raider type class anymore? Cuz if so that's pretty lame, was my favourite to land the perfect air strike

spiderman in grey armour

What's the difference between EDF: Iron Rain and EDF: 5? Because both came at around the same time, right?

The jet lifter can have infinite flight if you use a sword

Ok, Attack-On-Titan class is now my favorite

Looks 100x better then anthem
