About EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 4.1 The Shadow of New Despair
About this game
The phenomenon that Armor value or Acquisition of weapons of save data is tampered when playing online multi play with specific players. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this time. We have got some reports about the title above. We investigated about it and verified the same phenomenon.
When we played online multi play with specific players who are called cheaters and tamper their game data, our save data became aberrant by obtaining tampered items after the mission. We will keep investigating about malicious data tampering, but for now, once your save data is tampered, it is impossible to get your data back again.
We would appreciate for your understanding.
As a workaround for customers, since this phenomenon is caused by playing online play with cheaters and completing missions, if you find any cheaters or players who are suspected as cheaters in the online room, we deeply recommend you to leave the room as soon as possible without launching the mission.
In addition, if you find any cheaters or players who are suspected as cheaters during the mission, we also recommend you to leave the mission before you complete it.

PC Gamer
80 / 100"No polish or refinement, just lots of giant ants and plenty of ways to kill them. Ridiculously fun at its best, which it frequently is."
CGMagazine
90 / 100"Earth Defense Force 4.1 is a smoother, more polished version of the same cheesy, excellent product that Sandlot’s gotten so good at making."
CD-Action
90 / 100"Every level of EDF is like a mix of Omaha Beach, Pearl Harbor, Thermopylae and Helm’s Deep. Yes, the visuals might be laughable, but it’s the price for the enormous scale of...
