Hi! I'm a solo dev of Babo & Luda Adventure, a platformer with action combat. I couldn't hide the huge love I have for this franchise, so I added sections where the game transforms into a run and gun experience.

Metal Slug is one of my favorite franchises, and I hope that love really shows in my game

Lets Plays Finished Metal Slug 4, Here's my thoughts.

This game is bad.

Kidding, let me break it down specifically.

Well. It's not that bad tbh, I'm quite having an enjoyable time playing this game. But yep, there's some minus points I want to tell.

- The infamous recycled enemies and stages: This game biggest problem. At first, I was thinking. "Maybe this is an anniversary type game, so we're seeing something from the previous game again for nostalgia or something." But then I realized that this is too senseless for anniversary. Yep, they're previous stages from previous games, but they lack of context.

- Worst background visual: Some of this game stage background are dead, no parallax, no pretty sprite works like the game should have. Everything almost look so stiff for a metal slug game. Well, except the enemies because some of them are reused.

- Less memorable sountracks: This one is subjective. But I find MS4 sountrack less interesting than the other instalment. Well, some mission quite have a banger too. Like mission 1, 3 and the final mission. Amadeus theme also my favorite.

- Talking about Amadeus: WHO ARE YOU!? I didn't quite feel this guy as a villain at all. His appearance is so sudden and have no impact at all. And I think his design are just a recycled design of one civilian. Although, I quite like the idea of robot morden and Allen.

- Something good this game is the enemy vehicle hacking system where you can drive enemy vehicle.

That's it. My finger hurts.

I figured you all would appreciate this! I recently got a new handheld (the Ayn Thor which I love so far) and spent some time playing through Metal Slug X on the PSX.

Really good time. Some of these bosses are wild, this game was a blast.

What are some other entries in the series that stand out? Are any of the new ones worth playing?

Questions Why is metal slug popular among Spanish (or south American) people?

114 Upvotes

I noticed that there a lot of spanish speaking people among the community since I started to interact with the metal slug stuff (starting from music), and that got me curious as to why? Is it similar reasons to dragon ball? Early release outside of Japan than anywhere else?

Sorry in advance if i got languages wrong

If Metal Slug takes damage while jumping, it can jump much higher and land on the boss. At this point, boss will continuously cast fireballs. We can simply use the invincibility frames to dodge them.

I want to bring Metal Slug Defense Online back

Post image
17 Upvotes

Hello everyone. My name is Renato Larenas, and I am proposing a project to increase the activity of Metal Slug Defense Online on Steam.

The official Steam version is still operational, including its online servers. However, the current player activity is extremely low. I recently spent approximately 12 hours searching for a match without finding another player.

One of the main barriers is the game's paid units. My plan is to use part of the future revenue from my YouTube gaming channel, Renato Larenas, together with a personal contribution, to initially provide units to 50 Steam players through a giveaway.

The first objective is to reach 1,000 subscribers and enable monetization. If the first initiative generates real activity, I would continue funding additional giveaways and establish a Discord community to coordinate matches, tournaments and other events.

The project would also be promoted internationally in order to reach former players and current Steam owners outside my existing audience.

This is an initial proposal rather than a guarantee of success. The first giveaway would allow us to measure how many players are actually interested and able to return to the Steam version.

The idea is simple: to make it easy for any player to find matches with just a quick search, and for the game to become officially active again.

Okey no sé si se enteraron aquí sobre lo de la resurrección de metal Slug attack gracias a unos chinos. Pero quería preguntar a la inmensa cantidad de gente en esta comunidad si alguien conoce alguna forma de jugar metal Slug Defense sin hackear en teléfono. Tengo un Motorola G42 con un android 13 pero no he podido encontrar una copia o versión apk compatible. Se que funciona para emuladores de Pc pero mi Pc no cumple el requisito de la virtualización para poder usar emuladores.

Solid game, an improvement from the previous one. The first metal slug game I ever played when I was a kid on the PS1. The music is memorable, especially mission 1 and 4. And the final battle is pretty climactic. Although is not as intense and serious as the previous game.
