Rebel Army Leader General Morden's evil plans!! Make your way through multiple battelfields and put an end to the We apologize for the inconvenience that may cause to you and thank you for your understanding. For what it's worth, 4 is stupendously hard for all the wrong reasons, 5 is pretty manageable but has weirdness with them removing the telegraph animations for some recycled enemies, 6 has a lot of the same problems 3 has, and 7 is where it gets back to MS1 levels of "tough but fair.This app may not run correctly under iOS 9 Overall I'd say MS1 is perfect, MS2 is mostly great but missions 2 (MSX fixed a lot of problems, but it's still kinda boring) and 5 have problems, MS3 is edging kind of close to style-over-substance territory. MS2's final boss is very reliant on getting good RNG with weapon drops, and MS3's bosses go straight into bullet hell territory. Whereas MS3 swarms you with enemies all the time, enemies come packing lots of health (even the standard Morden soldiers can "soak" a few bullets before going down). Enemies almost always come from the right, times where you just walk into a spawn zone and get swarmed are rare (and are mainly in the final mission), so a little observation goes farther. Most enemies die in one shot, enemies that don't like tanks usually have highly-telegraphed attacks. MS1 is definitely more "tough but fair" than the later games. Kurooka in the first Metal Slug), who is also a producer at PlatinumGames, revealed on Twitter to a user he worked on Metal Slug and GunForce 2 (known as Geo Storm in Japan). Although details were never delved, Inaba stated he did programming work on a Samurai Shodown title and was unhappy with his experience at SNK. Kazuma Kujo, credited as KIRE-NAG in the first Metal Slug, went on to form Granzella Games after leaving both Irem and Nazca, but declined to comment on the status and identity of key staff members including lead designer Meeher and graphic artists Akio and Susumu.Ītsushi Inaba, formerly of Capcom and producer at PlatinumGames, was a member of Nazca (after leaving Irem) doing income management, then SNK after its acquisition, rekindling his interest in video game development. The only work he is credited for since Metal Slug 3 is Yuusha 30 and may be working as a freelance musician and sound producer. He was interviewed for the Metal Slug Complete Sound Box released in 2008. He was considered part of SNK's in-house band, the "Shinsekai Gakkyoku Zatsugidan". One known key member is composer Takushi Hiyamuta (credited with names such as "HIYA!" and "HIYA-UNIT"), responsible for composing nearly every game listed here, in whole or part (he did not compose for Kaitei Daisensou also, although he did not compose for R-Type II, he did for Super R-Type). Nine of the original Nazca staff (including Meeher, Akio, Susumu and development manager Kawai) answered questions from an undated text interview that was translated and included in Metal Slug Anthology.īecause the common use of pseudonyms in arcade titles to hide identities, details of its staff remains scarce. The game was a success, and SNK, the owner of the Neo-Geo MVS system, decided to assimilate the entire Nazca staff into itself, so they would continue to create the Metal Slug games are now under SNK. When the ex-Irem programmers created Nazca, they decided to create a new game based on Gunforce 2, thus creating Metal Slug: Super Vehicle-001. Some of the sound effects are the same as Metal Slug, such as the enemies grunts, which are the same grunts used by the Rebels. Both games use the same graphic designs, even with similar explosion effects. Your mission was to rescue prisoners, altough here they are women instead of bearded, starving POW's. You had a variety of weapons to pick, you could ride a good amount of vehicles such as tanks, jeeps, walker robots and a hovercraft. Gunforce 2 had many elements which were borrowed by Metal Slug. Metal Slug was made by the developers of Irem Corporation/Nazca who had joined SNK during that time.
