Upgrade your units. Try to get Tarma, Eri and Fio to max out. Then you can steamroll past most levels. Use medals to get the shield soldier and max him out too.

I avoid using Tarma, because of his short range, but I can see that a full power shotgun would be devastating. Fio and Eri maxed out are pretty boss.

I play this similar to Plants vs Zombies. Give myself more "sun" first, plant a barrier, then get my heavy troops out fast. For the most part, I steamrolled through stages 1-5, but haven't played in a few days due to just being bogged down with shit to do.

The Emergency level that popped up, that shit all over me, though. I was overrun like a madman on that. It was work just to keep the advancing enemies in one area... Forget about pushing them back.

The game is incredibly fun. Here's hoping SNKP has a few more tricks up their sleeves, because I can fully support these efforts.

Tarma's firepower is one of the best in the game. Shotgun clears everything out of the way. I feel like his regular pistol is more powerful as well.

Also, I'm moving MUCH faster since I dumped the sandbags. If I need a barrier in addition to the high powered mob I have going out there, I'll throw up a sarubia, that thing is a beast on HP, moves forward and does some damage to boot!

My upgraded Marco can pretty much take down the early level by him self.

Surprisingly fun!

But one thing that really annoys me is the mix of pixelated classic visuals with a randomly slick and clean vector graphic. Why the fuck is the world map so vector clean? Makes the whole presentation inconsistent and cheapens it a bit.

A lot of you guys are down on it,
but I think it's pretty good.
Especially given that is free.

Reclaimer · May 24, 2014

Are the regular Metal Slug iOS ports any good? I can't imagine the controls being ok without something like an icade hooked up.

KaedesDisciple · May 25, 2014

While wifi is completely broken, here is something I find hilarious: when I see the deck of the other player is stacked with high powered characters, and what's essentially my zerg rush tac prevents his sandbags from stalling me long enough for him to get out some of the big units before I blast his base back to the stone age.

Anyone else notice a weird issue with sortie points not regenerating on their own since the new patch? Dead in the water right now without having to spend medals to heal them, which I'm definitely not doing.

On top of that, they added Ralf, Leona, and Clark to the game along some rebalancing and 100 free medals just for logging on.

evil wasabi · Jun 9, 2014

Manually set your clock into the future?

Fygee · Jun 9, 2014

Tried. Didn't work. Heard about that trick before to force faster sortie point regen but no dice. Still stuck at 0 out of 390.

evil wasabi · Jun 9, 2014

How far did you go into the future?

Fygee · Jun 9, 2014

A week.

evil wasabi · Jun 9, 2014

I had to go into August. Not sure if you would need to. I did a lot of fucking around before and have been stuck in the future.

Fygee · Jun 9, 2014

Jumped up to July and that appears to have worked. I wonder if there's a time stamp that prevents sortie points from regenerating if your phone has a date that's past the highest date it's recognized.

evil wasabi · Jun 9, 2014

That would be really annoying.

this thread makes me want to get a smartphone to try this out. Hm, maybe I can get my moms old one...

Madbees · Jun 11, 2014

I tried this yesterday.

A fun little mobile game.

It's like Plants vs Zombies but only one lane.

Not bad.

At least it's not Pachinko!

RoadBuster · Jun 13, 2014

I actually found myself enjoying it. I also really like the character art they have for it.

evil wasabi · Jun 13, 2014

I am still enjoying the game a bit. It's okay. Nothing to get to excited about, but I enjoy it. It would be good even without existing Metal Slug IP.

Maybe even better?

Captain Spiff · Jun 15, 2014

been grinding through this game for the past couple weeks and really enjoying it

I'm glad its become something of a hit

If you do any wifi vs battles, you NEED Trevor. He is completely broken and everyone uses him.

Yeah, he's overpowered like mad. Only way to counter him is to throw out your own Trevor to cancel him out or use an armored vehicle. All human characters are stunned and useless every time he shoots them.
