About METAL SLUG ATTACK RELOADED

Metal Slug Attack Reloaded reimagines the classic 2D pixel‑art shooter as a tower‑defense title. Players assemble decks of familiar characters, place them on a battlefield, and use beginner‑friendly controls to halt enemy bases while mastering deeper strategic layers.

The game adds a sequel‑style “Another Story” campaign and a Gallery mode for art and music, plus competitive online play through Room and Matching battles where the highest rank is the title “Super Devil.”

01 / THE GUIDE

tower-defense core gameplay

Metal Slug Attack Reloaded keeps the series’ detailed 2D pixel look while shifting to tower‑defense mechanics. Players build decks of characters and position them on the map to stop incoming enemy forces.

Controls are described as beginner‑friendly, letting new players start quickly while still offering depth that requires careful deck composition and placement to master.

  • Experiment with different character combos to see how they interact on the battlefield.
  • Observe placement effects; positioning often determines how well a deck handles waves.

02 / THE GUIDE

character roster and factions

Over 300 unique characters are available, divided among five factions such as the Regular Army, Rebel Army, and Space Army. Each faction contributes its own visual style and unit types to deck building.

Massive war machines jitter as they move, a visual cue that can influence timing decisions during battles.

  • Mix characters from several factions to broaden tactical options.
  • Watch war‑machine movement to anticipate when they will be most effective.

story and gallery modes

“Another Story” continues the Metal Slug narrative with a lengthy sequel, offering fans new plot developments that expand on familiar characters.

Gallery mode lets players view artwork and listen to the soundtrack, providing a non‑combat way to enjoy the title.

  • Use Gallery mode to familiarize yourself with character designs before deploying them.
  • Play the early chapters of “Another Story” to learn character motivations that may guide deck choices.

online pvp battles

Players can compete globally through Matching Battle or battle friends in Room Battle. Rankings reward the title “Super Devil” for top performers, and matches pit your deck against other players’ decks.

Multiplayer matches are conducted online and support full controller use, allowing players to test strategic depth under pressure.

  • Practice in Room Battle with friends before entering Matching Battle.
  • Observe opponent deck compositions to adapt your own tactics during a match.

05 / THE GUIDE
