Troops cost points, which slowly build up and are doled out by Rumi Aikawa - the girl with the backpack from various stages of the main titles - and the more powerful the unit, the more points it'll cost you.

Set in "20XX", Metal Slug Defense sees the Rebels and Mars People once again attacking civilisation, and it's up to you to defend multiple stages from their beastly ways.Īfter the iconic "Mission Start!" voiceover fades, you must send out troops to destroy the opposing enemy's base. The game takes almost all of its visual and audio assets from the main series of games, and they're still damned impressive, almost 20 years after the first game in the series was released. You know what? So far, it absolutely has managed to feel like the real deal: Metal Slug Defense captures a good amount of what makes the Metal Slug games special. Here's hoping it manages to make good use of a great licence, tying Marco, Tarma, Morden, the Mars People, and all the other beloved characters and vehicles into a game that feels authentic within the Metal Slug universe.

Did they even read my letters?Īnyway, a tower defence game is what's just been released, so I suppose I should spend the next seven days finding out whether it's any good. It doesn't look like SNK Playmore has cast me as the lead character either. I wanted another frantic and gorgeous side-scrolling shooter.

If you listen to the Pocket Gamer Podcast (or, indeed, if you watch it), then you'll know that I have one big question before I start playing Metal Slug Defense: who the hell asked for a Metal Slug-themed tower defence game?
