A new class will be introduced inIron Rain,the Prowl Rider. This’ll be the most versatile class in the series, allowing you to ride a giant ant into battle as well as use a new piece of gear called the “E-Needle” to grapple from building to building with crazy mobility. I’m definitely looking forward to giving this new class a go.
Like previous entries, you’ll have access to four classes, three of which will be very familiar to veterans. The Trooper, Jet Lifter, Heavy Striker, and Prowl Rider are all customizable, making it so you can really distinguish yourself on the battlefield.Earth Defense Force: Iron Rainwill have the deepest customization in the series to date, with a set protagonist that can either be male or female you’ll be able to customize their appearance alongside whichever weapons, armor, and class you choose.
