    Metal Slug Defense is a Must Have casual strategy game and a thoughtful mobile adaptation of the classic arcade series.

    Metal Slug Defense successfully combines the spirit of its run-and-gun predecessors with a competent set of strategy mechanics.

    A bizarre marriage of tower defense, real-time strategy and 2D shoot ‘em up action, Metal Slug Defense is like Kingdom Hearts— a blend of disparate things that somehow manages to work.

    Metal Slug Defense is a nice take on the tower defense genre, thanks to a simple but compelling gameplay, lots of missions and excellent 2D graphics.

    An interesting Tower Defense twist for one of the best 2D arcade shooters out there. Challenging and fun to play.

The game itself is actually quite nice, with beautiful 2D sprites (recycled from older Metal Slug games, but still) player's progress is halted by unseen paywall in the form of difficult levels that requires the user to pay real money to buy more powerful units to beat the game. To be fair, the game actually gave away the game's "cash"quite regulary, but it's still not enough. Full Review »
