Get Earth Defense Force 4.1 for Steam here!: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/ea...

Earth Defense Force is a game that has a reputation of not having a story, or at least not one worth talking about, so why exactly am I talking about it? Today I put the often overlooked narrative design of Sandlot's Giant Insect squashing simulation under the magnifying glass to see if there is anything we can learn and why EDF might have something in common with professional wrestling.

Special Thanks to Michael Hillard for creating the EDF Jazz!
