About This App

Time Reversal, Corruption Siege
① New Story - Time Reversal
To save Earth from its doomed future, Marco returns alone to the timeline before the Morden War, only to uncover the Corrupt Legion's plot. Marco fights his way out and sends the intel back to Andrew Town. Waiting for him there is Morden, the people's hero newly promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Regular Army. This time, old foes join hands to light the spark of hope. Deep in the Corrupted Land, another time traveler awaits their fated encounter...

② New Character - Leona
An orphan who lost both parents, Leona was adopted by mercenary instructor Heidern and raised under strict military training. As an adult, she became the youngest commander in Heidern's mercenary corps.

Her tragic childhood left her quiet, withdrawn, and unused to normal social life. It also made social interaction difficult for her.

Known as "the perfect soldier," Leona acts with clear goals, strong execution, and extreme efficiency. But as a commander, communication is her weak point. To her, even the toughest mission is easier than assigning work to her subordinates. Most mercenaries do not find her hard to get along with. Instead, her exceptional skill and calm presence on the battlefield have earned her loyal followers.

Leona deeply respects and admires her adoptive father, Heidern. Even in an age of rapid technological progress, she still fights with the dagger he gave her, determined to become his sharpest blade. Her combat ability is extraordinary. Her blade can cut through bullets and armor, making her a true cold-weapon war god.

She once fought alongside the P.F. Squad and S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S against the future Morden Army. Her Moon Slasher pierced through the future tech defenses, and its power shook space-time itself. That fleeting flash on Garbage Island was like a butterfly's wing crossing the sea, stirring a great storm in the near future...

By the time Leona learned the truth, she had already found the key to changing fate. If time can be reversed, she will give everything to change the future!

③ New Weapon - Light Blade Gun
Wield light as a blade and reap the battlefield. Another masterpiece combining hot and cold weapons. Its rounds contain luminous fluid, leaving a shining arc as they fly. The arc not only reveals the trajectory and marks targets, but through the tempering of the cold-flame core, it becomes a blade that rules the battlefield.

④ New Mode - Weapon Master Tournament
The new Weapon Master Tournament stage is inspired by the misty charm of Chongqing. It blends the hard-edged style of a cyber mountain city with layered vertical battlefields. Commanders can check in at famous scenes such as Hongya Cave, the Yangtze River Cableway, the monorail passing through buildings, and Shibati, fully experiencing the spirit of Chongqing, the Mountain City of Mist.

★★☆☆☆

Really fun time until the game forces you to level boost from 22 to 190. I now have this super team that I didn't earn, and the story is busted. The story mode and other modes like Joint Operation think I've finished them but I haven't. So I still need to go through the story to unlock other stuff but because I'm now so high level, none of the dialogue plays anymore. Utterly baffling decision I hope was a bug. Let players opt out of level boosting. Level boosting sucks!

It's good. Love the music and nostalgia. BUT ***8GB+*** for a side scrolling platform has got to be a record of some kind. How about a Metal Slug LITE for the gamers that have phones already loaded with other games or the ones of us who refuse to buy a new phone every 6 months for more space? It is a good game though, and unfortunately not a lot of people are going to play it, or keep it installed very long. Except for the file size, good job to the Devs.

Don't waste your time and money on this game. Although purchases are not mandatory, they falsely advertise items in the game store. I spent 20 dollars for what was supposed to be tokens to unlock a new character, but instead of that it turns out I paid for the only purpose of BEING ALLOWED to purchase more items, really?? Customer support won't do anything to help. Shame on them. Learn from my mistake.

I do enjoy the nostalgia of Metal Slug. However it do well with mobile and monetization mix with it. As of now its glitches, the controls aren't that responsive, and the gameplay is clunky. I feel held back when moving and jumping around. The control aren't smooth and the button configuration are off to me. It should be a little more up beat. There should be an option for auto targeting and shooting. That way you can focus more on jumping and dodging and using skills.
