  Thanks to its well-balanced defense gameplay, generous freemium model, and competitive online matches, Metal Slug Defense is a definite Must Have. It’s a change of pace from the series’ twitchy arcade action, but it features the same familiar characters and style. It perfectly complements the original games while successfully creating something brand new for the mobile platform.

  Overall, Metal Slug Defense is worth sinking some time into. The game embodies most of what makes older Metal Slugs stand out as unique shooters, while also being a different game altogether. If Metal Slug Defense didn't feel like a well-balanced strategy experience, I might still recommend it because of its dedication to crafting the Metal Slug experience into a strategy game.

  All in all, it’s definitely worth a download and try, even if you’re not a Metal Slug fan. You’ll become one soon enough.

  While its free-to-play trappings can be a little tiresome, they're relatively innocuous... and ad-free! Patient gamers can easily ignore MSD's gentle offers to spend real money, and instead freely enjoy a colorful, addictive real-time strategy game like no other.

  The solo campaign is divided into continents, and feels quite faithful to Metal Slug lore (in case there's such). Gameplay sometimes feels a little bit hurried and chaotic, but it will lure both defense and Metal Slug fans alike for sure, because it's a really good defense game, thrilling and challenging and without obscene in-app purchases. Recommended.

  A surprisingly faithful recreation of the tone of the Metal Slug franchise, transposed to a tower defence game. Shame about the unstable and unfair multiplayer.
