#METAL SLUG DEFENSE SERIES#
While the gameplay is mindless, our nostalgia for the series could have carried us through if the game delivered any sense of reward. In truth, we're a little sad to see the Metal Slug franchise leveraged as a free-to-play grind-fest. But, with 30 medals costing 69p / 99c and anything of worth costing around 150 medals, this quickly becomes expensive. What Metal Slug Defense really wants you to do is invest in medals, which can be used to buy stronger troop types and purchase upgrades. This quickly removes any sense of skill or satisfaction, making the deciding factor whether your army is leveled up enough. Unfortunately, however you use these units, you are frequently overpowered by sheer weight of numbers. These units include the machine gunner Marco, who makes short work of armour, and shotgun unit Tarma who is able to decimate the undead. Upgrades and different unit types can go some way to limiting the bottleneck created by these timers. Your opponent is doing the same thing, of course, so most of your time is spent watching your troops die in the middle of the map. With energy timers controlling troop creation, fights quickly degenerate into a waiting game. The mundane tower defense combat takes place on a single plane and has you as sending unthinking troops directly towards your opponent. With the art done, you would think that SNK Playmore would find the time to do something special with the gameplay. The gorgeous, smoothly animated sprites are instantly familiar to fans, while the franchise's library of detailed backgrounds mean that no two levels ever look alike. Creating a 2D side-scrolling tower defense title has allowed the developer to lift art straight from previous Metal Slug games. That's not to say that there isn't some crossover between the classic games and this new enterprise. However, that is precisely the catagory which SNK Playmore's new free-to-play title Metal Slug Defense falls into. What we don’t think of is the tower defense genre. When we think Metal Slug, our minds turn to classic arcade side-scroller action.
