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.
