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.”

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.

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.
