Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.29/day in the week to Aug 13 → 1.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I was a solid metal slug fan ever since metal slug 1. And metal slug defense was also one of my favorites. This game brings back memories. Please SNK add more characters and provide more stages for this game!!
Fun and Different, I can see this being a time sink for me when I'm waiting on another time sink to sink. I love the Metal Slug series obviously, however felt like oh I wanted to give this one a chance and was NOT disappointed. As a matter of fact it reminded me of an old Sega Genesis game General Chaos in some ways. Just absolute fun.

It's basically the same as the mobile version but without the downsides of it. The game is actually hard and makes you to plan and farm even at early game.
好玩，但希望有自動重複關卡的選項 每次刷材料都要退出關卡再手動點進去真的有點麻煩
будь эта игра как онлайновый Attack с таким же количеством персонажей, было бы намного приятней. Я играл в онлайн гача версию и в нее было играть чуть проще и интересней, жаль что сервера закрыли. Под конец она меня вымотала, я закрыл все ачивки тупо методом гринда, и то потому что было порядка 2-4 часов в день, на протяжении которых я мог гриндить без ущерба себе же...

Call me game journalist, skill issue and whatnot, Idc, but it seems like you guys reworked some levels/rebalanced some characters without people noticing. I'm stuck in 8-1 even after following a video guide on YT from a year ago, I followed the exact same thing and the game went differently on my side. Then it means I should grind or potentially overlevel my decks before I could even pass level 8 which funnily enough the level that will unlock the 200 medals gacha. I put this on positive review because I'm a big fan of the MS pixel saga, the art themselves makes the game worth picking up on sale. People aren't lying that this game is grindy, the mobile version back then somehow was kinda easier because I could get Abigail during the first few hours, I was just lucky but in this version, the gacha is locked behind progress (Which I actually don't mind if you balance the levels fairly)
可惜人物没手游时候全
[h1] EL JUEGO---- MUY REPETITIVO. [/h1] esta cosa es mas nostalgia que otra cosa, realmente la dificultad esta muy alta lo que te hace farmear EXP e items necesarios para las skills de unidades. Sacrificaron muchas cosas y se nota a leguas que la razon fue por lanzarlo apresuradamente. [h3] PARA EMPEZAR. [/h3] Carece de muchas cosas, como inmersion, coherencia entre el gameplay y la historia entre otros detalles que bien son "por menores" si ayudan y aportaban en el MSA original por ejemplo; falta calidad de vida que podria ayudar al fearmeo, la estructura del mismo esta muy mal implementada y [spoiler] SE NOTA DEMACIADO [/spoiler] la dificultad artificial; que basicamente vuelve a el "bot CPU" spamer de unidades. en resumen [b] Solo vale la pena si te gustaba mucho el MSA y extrañas a tus waifus [/b] [h3] PARA FINALIZAR. [/h3] Ni siquiera estan todas las unidades, y ni hablemos de sus diferentes versiones.
