This game has cash grab written all over it. It recycles everything from the original Metal Slug games including all backgrounds, sprites and sounds. For a fan of the series, seeing the name associated to it and then actually playing is pretty disappointing, something that almost made me drop a negative review. The gameplay is pretty basic with the same tower defense and strategy you're used to. Can be rewarding and fun for a couple of levels until the pay2win and grinding is presented. Upon completing a level, you unlock an auto-play mode, which is automatized by an AI, that somehow is worse than the actual enemy AI. Playing online is not possible anymore, since it's a dead game you can only play against Steam friends. Which isn't a good move for a game can you can spend over 15 bucks on DLC content that you could otherwise unlock just by playing the game. Every single step tries to charge your money, one scummy move over the other. I do recommend the game since it's free, but I do not recommend spending money on downloadable content.
