Metal Slug DefenseMSD is f2p tower defense game for ios/android. I know it sounds generic as fuck, but it actually owns. WHY SHOULD YOU PLAY THIS THING:- Even if it doesn't play like MS at all, it really keeps all of its charm. Marco and the gang, Morden, Mars people, zombies, slugs..they're all in. And they all feel like they should. - There's a lot of content. Dozens of units, dozens of stages and over 30 missions. And it's updated fairly frequently! - You don't have to spend a cent to enjoy this game, you get a lot of free shit and you can buy upgrades with in game currency. - Good ol' fashioned SNK engrish!
WHAT? THEY USE THEIR SKILLS?! Oh shit.MSD should have its own thread There's enough discussion every now and then, and frequent updates to discuss
at leasta general snk thread, that way we won't have two recurrent threads and hopefully ti won't make it all the way back to page 10 anymore.

walt said, September 26, 2014, 04:23:30 pmyou just saying that cuz you poor nigga, you don't even own a celphoneAnd it's a tower defense game to boot, I forgot about that extra "ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"!
At least SNK found a way to use those previously unused sprites from the older games. That's some extra saved money for them.
If you think MSD is about "saving" think again sir. They've produced a fuck ton of artwork specifically for this game, as well as some great exclusive orchestra songs for it. Not to mention, at the rate and amount of money they're making off of this, they're probably never going to put out a console game again The numbers are proving Capcom and Squenix's mobile focus right.
God forbid SNK reuse their incredible sprite assets from Metal Slug, why couldn't they have made a brand new Metal Slug game with HD animation for modern consoles/PC? I mean they're just rolling in cash, there's no excuse.The Simplistic Fubini said, September 26, 2014, 03:20:08 amAnd almost all of it comes from the two of us Me too! >:[Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyis it worth spending medals to go past the 20 level mark? I mean, I'm not all that interested in buying any more units, I've got a good setup going...
Is that what the update adds?!I deleted my save BECAUSE I'M A MORON IDIOT, but now I've restarted from scratch (still in World 1) and I'm having so much fun having a hard time to be able to complete the missions I've got my grind on though, I'm already maxed out all stats for Characters and Base and I'm barely on World 7.This game is so much fun, I can't believe I've been playing it every day for 4~5 months now. They've sure made a good job at keeping support for it, so I can keep coming back to it. It's not only the business model, it's the fact that you feel the love and thought put into each mission with every update. The team really cares about making this game good IMO

I mean they're just rolling in cash, there's no excuse.IDK why you guys imply that I was saying it as if it was a bad thing. I am happy to see previously unused assets being used, there's a lot of animations that never saw the light until now and I hope they keep bringing them up, if just for the sake of novelty (I wonder if that freaking giant mechanical turtle from the first games was ever used in any mobile game?). And less things to sprite = Less money spent, it's not rocket science.walt said, September 26, 2014, 06:21:02 pmThey've produced a fuck ton of artwork specifically for this gameSpoiler, click to toggle visibiltyAlmost all of the artwork is recycled from Metal Slug Wars
i dont play games on my phone (only use it to listen to music/podcasts and messaging) but i will get this dumb game since you people talk too much about it
Did you guys notice how 2 updates ago they reduced Ralf's AP cost from 140 to 130? Also, the Morden Army Sniper (regular green one) used to be 60, and they reduced it to 50? They're rebalancing the game with each iteration Also, in this second run, I've heavily refrained from using medals to buy units proven to be useless, and trying out new stuff. So I'm going to hold out on buying the OP Ikaris, and I got Trevor instead. The guy is a dual machine gun wielding killing machine, and his special ability is perfect for destroying those tall tower-like tanks.
Trevor's pretty much the best first purchase, good damage output, good skill, good range; he can plow through almost everything in the first world. I've heard he was even better when game came out, he's still good after some nerfs.

Speaking of missions, has any of you gotten past 33?
