Reception
Earthfall received an aggregate score of 61/100 on Metacritic for Windows. T.J. Hafer of PC Gamer rated the game 75/100, calling it "worth playing with friends" and saying that while it is so similar to Left 4 Dead that it might be confused for a mod of that game, it is an "entertaining variation on that theme". James Duggan of IGN rated the game 55/100, calling it "derivative" and "Left 4 Dead, but worse". He stated that since "very few elements of Earthfall 's 10 missions are randomized", replaying the same level is extremely repetitive, leading to a lack of replay value. He praised the game's weapon designs, but called the game's shooting "okay at best". Javy Gwaltney of Game Informer rated the game 50/100, saying the game "stumble[s] over its own feet when it comes to the most basic qualities of a first-person shooter".
