Here is a beginner's guide I wrote for the game recently, with some information borrowed from the GameFAQs unit guide. Please check it out: http://www.androidcentral.com/top-10-metal-slug-defense-tips-and-tricks Sounds like I need to work the Zombie Scientist in with my unit suggestions.
Wow 1.6 is out? Awesome! I hope they fix up the glitches with the 2v2 loading times. Can't wait to see what new units they've got too
Has anyone else had trouble downloading the new version? I can't do it for some reason - once I start the game it needs to download another 2 mb... So it begins, and once it hits 40 % it hangs and says there is a problem with the server and I can't start the game. It's not my internet connection as I use both wifi and carrier coverage, and on top if the I reset my device. Nothing seems to be working, I'm using the latest iOS platform. Help please, thanks guys
hmmm.. maybe some app store issues due to many people is downloading it? sometimes on android too there are problems like that..try again some other time that might help
I have found another anomaly...just gonna give some heads up for you guys. while I was playing 2v2.. i just did my usual habits.. 2ap, followed by scientist zombie and tarman but after 5 secs or so suddenly ive been summoning units automaticaly at random.. like someone has been controlling them, and my ap too seems to upgrade on its own, even MSA.. but i can still release my preffered units and use their specials.. after the game this is the screenshot(i think i got disconnected).. what the heck im dueling myself? but before the match the slot 4 (lower right slot) has wacky stats
are you on android or iOS? you have the same prob as Fio.. try again downloading some other time, maybe metal slug server is busy...
Metal slug world post today says "Additional update data for "METAL SLUG DEFENSE" that was unable to be downloaded, is now back up. We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused, and thank you for your kind patience and understanding. -SNK PLAYMORE" ..I think they fixed it guys..try downloading it today..cheers edit: I think its iOS because no update on android as of now..
New update is here on Google Play. 1) French and Russian languages added (METAL SLUG DEFENSE can now be played in 8 different languages) 2) Removal of units max level limitation 3) Addition of new units 4) Addition of new Special Missions, etc.
That's weird that there is such a big gap in time regarding the release of updates. Maybe SNK develops for Android first then ports it over to IOS. Here are some things I've observed with this update so far: Now you can level up your max units to 25 instead of 20. Slugenstream - the best new unit of the batch. Slug Flyer - possibly the second best aerial unit in the game. Protogunner - it's like the Slug Gunner with Marco navigating it. Donkey Slug - haven't seen this in action yet.
Heh, the unlocking only grants you 5 additional levels. Pay 2 win? Either way, I'm going to keep my guide to level 20.. I should finish updating it soon.... Ralf, not Marco. Also when destroyed Ralf pops out and is his own unit. Donkey Slug is pretty average, it's like Camel/Ostrich slug tier except the special has a longer reach.
Thanks for the info on the new slug gunner, did not know that. The new units are cool but paying medals to unlock a new level cap is garbage.
Hm, turns out gamefaqs rejected the guide because of weird formatting but I cheked it in the preview and nothing was out of place. Sorry for the delay, hope it is accepted soon.
With all these updates, the game is constantly changing. While it's frustrating for me to try and win consistently, I like that there are many ways you to make a strong deck. Rush decks give me the most trouble. Units like the machine gun monkey, tar man, native and a combination with the claw unit give me fits.I'm constantly trying to figure out a good way to counter them
This is my deck. Iron nokana is very good killing those annoying monkeys and zombies. Also the Ring Laser Mecha kills many of them in early game.
