I was thinking this was so the steam page shows up as "July 2019," if it even works that way

Grinding in EDF is really fun because playing EDF is fun and "getting cool poo poo" is a nice bonus reward for playing awesome stages like Brute Force, but yeah there's no shame in cheating rather than doing something like the "drop a Balam on Crimson and then flail your arms back and forth for 2 minutes" grinding strat.

Aside from bad support in the menus, it was actually pretty great in-game. No acceleration, and it wasn't mimicking a joystick. It's why I never went back to EDF on consoles

4.1's mouse support in-game was excellent and it was only lovely in the menus.

EDF 5 is now available on Steam. $48 (20% off) until July 18.

DLC is getting added currently so I can't say whether there's a deluxe edition for sure or not.

There won't be a deluxe edition or anything like that. It's more than the price of the game for a bunch of level 0 weapons you won't touch after the first hour and that cheat engine users will get for free sometime tomorrow.

Oh, Dee, you card. :-*
I bought each of the 4.1 packs for about $7 and they were decent enough. I'd throw more money towards Sandlot/D3 if there was a deluxe edition but right now we've got ~$62 in DLC not including map packs and no deluxe in sight.

No deluxe, but there is a weapon and vehicle bundle for $39.50. Technically it is cheaper than the PS4 deluxe edition was at launch but the deluxe edition includes the two mission packs and this doesn't. Plus, once the 20% off ends on July 18, it is almost $110 (including the bundle discount) for the game and DLC. Again, no map packs included. :sigh:

If you subscribe to Humble Monthly, you can get 20% off of the $48 price on their store, bringing it down to about $38.40.

They put effort into them this time, so they are peak anime and troll material.

The "Wild Skeleton" DLC is worth it for Fencer mains. You can use it all the way through Normal+Hard.

It bothers me that all these DLC items aren't just skins, so you can use them whenever you like with whatever weapon of similar type you like.

Early on, slam a dash booster item on them and do dash -> jump to keep your momentum longer. Later on you'll get booster items that let you chain more dashes and jumps together.

Have a weapon with a horizontal dash and a weapon with a vertical dash equipped at the same time, then do one after the other. Equip mods that give you more dashes for better. Eventually I think you can get mods that make your regular walking speed even faster than dashing but they're from inferno.

At low levels you can use blasthole spear, dash, reflector shield to continuously skate and not lose momentum.

Later on you’ll get extra boost items and a 2x blasthole spear with rockets on the back that blasts you forward when you attack.

You do get them back but I think it's once you clear the game.

At least they bothered recording wingdiver lines for it this time though.
