Apex Legends vs Earth Defense Force 2017
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.

Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale built around squads of “Legends” with unique abilities, praised for its fast, fluid movement, gunplay, and ping communication system.
Earth Defense Force 2017 drops you into 53 action‑packed levels where you battle massive ants, spiders, robots, and alien craft. Every building can be torn apart as you unleash an arsenal of over 150 weapons and pilot four different vehicles. The Xbox 360 version adds split‑screen multiplayer, letting two players team up or face off in cooperative or versus modes. Experience fast‑paced, arcade‑style third‑person shooting on Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
