Is Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon worth it?

Is Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon worth it? Yes.

  • A steal

    2× the hours of a typical third-person shooter, for the same money

  • Loved

    90% recommend it after the refund windowmost third-person shooters: 86%

How this is counted

At Steam's US list price of $9.99, the typical player's 8 hours come to $1.25 an hour. Past the two-hour refund window, 90% of its Steam reviewers recommend it. At $1.25 an hour, Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is cheaper per hour than 174 of 195 third-person shooters here: the typical one of 195 third-person shooters here charges $2.50, so the same $9.99 buys 2× the hours.

The price is Steam's US list price for the game by itself: not a sale price, a bundle or what anyone paid. The hours are the ones its reviewers had played, not a time to beat. Its kind (third-person shooters) is what the game is first, as a model that knows games named it once from a list of Steam's kinds (for a game it did not know, its strongest Steam tags name it), among the kinds with at least 20 priced games here; failing that, by its Steam genre. The going rate is the middle hourly cost of those games, and the receipt prices its typical hours at it. The words beside it compare it with its kind: loved is 90% recommending it or more, liked 80%, mixed 65%; it gets played when a quarter fewer of the owners read here never launched it than of its kind's typical game. Whether it holds up is drawn on the hours road above, and counts toward the one-word answer.

Would you like Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon?

Give the ball your Steam profile link or name. It reads the games you own most like Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon, how long each held you against the typical player, and how long Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon would take you. Public profiles only. No account needed, and no library is saved.

How this is counted

It reads how long you tend to stay: across every game you've played whose typical hours it knows (free games left out), how often you went past the typical player and how often you left before half their hours. It glows when you often stay past them, dims when you often leave early, and needs five played games to read at all. Then it shows the games you own most like this one, by the same measure as the shelf of games like it, each with your hours against the typical player's.

Why not a forecast for this game: on 36,766 Steam libraries, how a player did on games like one told little beyond how long they stay in games at all, so those games are shown as evidence and never scored. Nothing of the library is kept.
