Earth Defense Force 6, the first mainline entry in the cult classic bug-blastin' shooter series since 2019, just got a worldwide launch, but the Steam version is getting absolutely bodied in the reviews because it requires an Epic Games account to play online - something the devs initially failed to note to players.
After 1,030 reviews on launch day, Earth Defense Force 6 stands at a 'Mostly Negative' rating on Steam. There are a handful of complaints about the game itself, but the vast majority of the negative reviews take aim at the fact that you're required to sign into an Epic account for online play. The system requirements now note the account restriction, but that warning was not in place for the early hours after the game's launch.
