Metal Slug Attack Wiki

Metal Slug Attack Units Soldier Utan Marco Tarma Hyakutaro 7000000taro Eri Fio Nadia. Metal Slug Attack features a considerable amount of Units for players to unlock and upgrade. The process of doing so takes time (as opposed to Metal Slug Defense's way of instant purchase) and somewhat compensates to the lack of variety this game's predecessor offered. There are different ways.

Metal Slug Attack is a tower defense game created by SNK Playmore for iOS and Android mobile devices. It was originally announced by SNK Playmore in November 2015, and then officially released for Android and iOS on February 14, 2016 and got released on Nintendo 3DS on October 23, 2018.

The game itself is a sequel to Metal Slug Defense, a tower defense based on the Metal Slug series.

Expansions give you features, though not all features will benefit all nations. Europa universalis 5. They tend to focus on a region, so it would be recommended to consider that regions expansion if you are playing there. If you love the game, consider the purchase of them a 'tip' to the team.

Bad Qualities

1. The game is essentially a reskin of Metal Slug Defense with some tweaks and contents, to make this much worse, SNK released this game as a tie-in to a 25th year Anniversary of the Metal Slug franchise!
2. Talking about reskins, tons of units featured in the game are essentially reskins/palette swaps of existing units with much-improved stats compared to original units. For example, the Iron Nokana, one of the bosses from the first Metal Slug game, has 3 reskinned variants (4 if you're counting the original variant). and if you're also counting the Iron (a modified variant of Iron Nokana featured in Metal Slug 4) and its reskinned variants, there are 9 units based on the Iron Nokana in the game.
   • Also, after a few weeks when a new character is released, the developer release a 'special' version of the said character which is much stronger or more useful than the original version.
3. The game is yet another gachapon game filled with microtransactions, as many units can be only obtained via 'Crank Box' (a kind of gachapon featured in the game).
4. One of the most noted and most criticized aspects about it are its new characters, which absolutely do not fit in the Metal Slug universe, since they are heavily oriented towards anime crowd and not in a good way, with most of them looking completely absurd. Most female characters are also heavily sexualized for fanservice. Even the game's version of CLEOPATRA looks like a character from an erotic Japanese visual novel.
5. The game is still currently unbalanced and easily prone to powercreeps, as many units added currently are able to easily wipe out enemy units with their special attacks.
6. The game butchered up the plotline of the Metal Slug universe (that was already messed up in Metal Slug Defense) even further.
7. No cloud or any backup features, unlike Metal Slug Defense.
8. Some of its new characters also look like they're rip-offs of characters from other licensed series even they are SNK properties. Here are some examples below:
   • Franke rips off Samus Aran from Metroid.
   • Chunyan is actually based on Mui Mui from Dragon Gal and Li Xiangfei from Real Bout Fatal Fury, but her name is a rip off of Chun-Li from Street Fighter franchise as well as her color scheme in her Special Version.
   • M.D.P.S-Mz 3 rips off Blue Mary from Fatal Fury which is actually based on Android 18 from Dragon Ball Z. However, both Her and Android 18 are fictional androids.
   • Vicky rips off Sakura Kinomoto from Cardcaptor Sakura.
   • Izabella rips off Meiko Shiraki from Prison School.
   • Growth & Cline are both ripoffs of Delta Red, a fictional Special Operations Unit from Street Fighter series that Cammy is a part of. As they both wearing the same red berets.
9. The second anniversary title screen looks unoriginal. It's just a character illustrations of Yoshino, Dragunov, Red Goblin, a Martian, Marco, General Morden, Abigail, and the Professor slapped on it.
10. False Advertising: On the 'Begin Training' extra ops event, it said that their adventures with a Heroines version of Leona Heidern and a newcomer named Kelly will continue into the Heroines world, but that did not happened in SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy.
11. They reuse the same official illustrations of 'special' version of the said character but it's recolored unlike the other special version units which they had different illustrations. For example: The illustration for Special El Dorado is actually the same as his per-acquisition unit except with a recolored Hairbuster Riberts on it.
    • However, they did the same thing to the Special versions of Loretta and Ami.

Good Qualities

1. The game marked the first official debut of Ptolemaios, who was supposed to be the main antagonist of Metal Slug 5, but got cut from final release due to development rushing.
2. Some original vehicles were added, such as the Ball Slug.
3. Good artwork and well-animated sprites on several new characters/units.
4. Ignoring the fact that it's a Metal Slug game, many new characters actually have pretty nice and attractive designs (both, males and females). Some new characters such as Abigail, Owen, HMT, and Nikita are the most likeable.
5. The Chinese Version has an exclusive story in the Attack campaign.
6. They added parts of any previous Box and Step Up crank units in every recent cranks when the new unit comes out.
7. They added a new feature called 'Laboratory' which allows players to test every units in all platinum, including the ones that you haven't obtained.
8. The memes of the new characters. Notable example is Sally, a Ptolemaic newcomer that resembles Kurumi Tokisaki from Date A Live and Nico Yazawa from Love Live!
