Play as a commander leading a squad through a Metal Slug-inspired action campaign. The game pairs side-scrolling battles against soldiers and bosses with a broader World Adventure mode.
Fight through missions using a roster of characters, firearms, and combat vehicles. Stages mix shooting and platforming, with weapons and character abilities shaping how you tackle enemies.
Build up characters and equipment through upgrades and progression systems, then take on additional activities such as roguelike challenges, online co-op for up to three players, and PvP modes.
The supplied reviews are divided: some enjoy the shooting, modern visuals, music, and callbacks to classic stages, while many feel the upgrade-heavy systems and monetization distract from the arcade-style action. Players who like the game also mention its range of modes and co-op, though others criticize the PC controls and technical problems.
