We are pleased to announce that Metal Slug Attack Reloaded has just been released on multiple platforms.
SNK made a surprising announcement that a different Metal Slug entry has been released without a lot of fanfare.
This comes at a time when many fans are already aware that the upcoming Metal Slug Tactics game is going to be revealed.
The tower defence game had its initial mobile release in 2016, but it was discontinued in the beginning of 2023.
Metal Slug is a series that has attempted to explore various improvements and changes to its formula, despite the fact that many gamers are familiar with the run-and-gun gameplay that it creates.
In contrast to the side-scrolling shoot-em-up gameplay that the Metal Slug series is known for, the Metal Slug Tactics game, which was released in the middle of the 2000s, and the Metal Slug 3D game both deviate from this gameplay style.
In spite of this, the mobile-only game Metal Slug Attack Reloaded was another installment in the series that received less attention than the others.
Metal Slug Attack Reloaded has just been made available for digital download on multiple platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and others.
This is an unexpected piece of news. An adaptation of the Metal Slug franchise, the popular mobile game is a tower defence game.
Mostro is a new character that is introduced in this version, in addition to the fact that it contains all of the features that were present in the mobile version.
Moreover, it modernises certain features in order to make use of the hardware that is available today.
Just a few of the new features that have been added to this updated version of the game include a gallery mode, a complete audio overhaul, and a story mode.
In light of the fact that the Metal Slug franchise is among the most popular titles in the SNK library, there are high expectations for this piece of software.
Platforms That Metal Slug Attack Reloaded Is Available On
- Nintendo Switch
- PlayStation 5
- PlayStation 4
- Xbox Series X/S
- PC
At one point in time, it is true that another mobile game based on Metal Slug had also been circulated online.
The gameplay of Metal Slug: Awakening was more faithful to the series’ iconic gameplay than that of Attack Reloaded and the upcoming Metal Slug Tactics, despite the fact that it was only available on very specific platforms.
Despite the fact that the majority of fans had hoped that it would be the game that would be released on multiple consoles, this has not still occurred.
The fact that the franchise is expanding into other gaming genres, however, should help the characters, the setting, and the lore develop more deeply, which will result in the creation of additional content that could be released in the future.
While there are no definitive answers as to whether or not the franchise will return to its roots with a new entry, many fans can only assume that the release of Metal Slug Attack Reloaded could help keep the franchise on the radar.
When it comes to cooperative shoot-em-ups, the Metal Slug series is among the very best that have ever been released, and it is inevitable that the series will return to its original formula.
As soon as the reviews for Metal Slug Attack Reloaded are released, hopefully SNK will be able to determine whether or not a new mainline entry is currently required.
