Arcade Archives Earth Defense Force ($7.99) It’s more or less another big serving of the same kind of gameplay seen in the previous two releases, so if that’s what you want, here you go. You’ll play with new towers, troops, enemies, and join forces with 16 legendary heroes.

The game made its way to various platforms with enhancements and new additions to its title, and here it is in more or less the same form as its PlayStation 4/VR version. I just went back and checked our review for the game and couldn’t help having a little chuckle at people in the comments complaining that the iPad version was priced at $3.99.
