Earthfall is a co-operative shooter for up to four players. Using team-based tactics to fortify holdouts and complete objectives, players must work together to survive.
Earthfall is too derivative to stand out and too disappointing to inspire repeat trips through its 10 mediocre missions.
It's Left 4 Dead with aliens down to the very core, but a flattering rendition of the formula that's worth playing with friends.
There's still a lot of potential to be realised in a Left 4 Dead-like experience, but Earthfall is a complete miss. It fails to build upon the foundations abandoned by Valve, with repetitive AI spawns and an arsenal of weaponry that does nothing to distinguish themselves from one another. And with just four hours of content to work through, you'll be left feeling short-changed by an experience that gives you no reason to return once the credits roll.
There's not much reason to play this derivative co-op shooter when Left 4 Dead 2 already exists.
Earthfall is a pale imitation of its co-op action influences.
