A Metal Slug game that is more about harassing enemies, instead of killing them brutally? A unique take, for certain. I'd say that oxygen tanks and bricks hurt almost as much as grenades, at any rate. Keep up the great work!
The bridge layer tank boss is just like the Tetsuyuki from the first Metal Slug, but looks so original nonetheless and actually has different attack patterns from those of the Tetsuyuki, it somewhat resembles the Soviet IT-28 bridge layer tank but only for the bridge part, the hull looks way too different from that of the IT-28 and might as well be original, which gives extra points for this boss' design!
It's great, but I have a nagging feel that a studio-size effort would make the bridge itself into an attack phase. It has threatening claws at the tip of the segments, after all.
But the story is literally not related to metal slug at all and I'm on board with you it's just that there's no fio,tarma,eri or even Marco, THE STAR OF THE SHOW!
So I played the demo too and, well it actually feels pretty different from MS, the biggest difference being the lack of an SV-001 substitute and different weapons like the HMG, which makes sense since these two are just scuba divers, not soldiers and they throw oxytanks and bricks, not grenades. Still, I really enjoyed the demo and even if this game doesn't get Slug-like vehicles, I think I'm still gonna enjoy it a lot. Sure this game is heavily inspired from Metal Slug but it's not Metal Slug, it has its own identity.
I LOVE the oxytank idea. They're literally the stone power-up from Metal Slug, and they're just as satisfying to use. Can't wait to see how they expand the weapons and grenades.
This is gonna make me cry, Metal Slug is my first game of childhood. The background art, cool boss design, and the jazz-y music gives the vibes of early Metal Slug games. It' beautiful
Oh sweet lord, it captures that MS1 grit perfectly!! I'm genuinely blown away holy shit. How do they have such an insane grasp and mastery of that art style? They absolutely NAILED the music as well. They GOTTA get an announcer for power-ups and stuff. Seriously looking forward to this one, fellas.
I love how the less lethal aspect of the spearguns and the oxygen tanks is even reflected with the enemies: there’s no big clouds of blood or explosions when you kill a soldier or blow up a tank, the soldiers just get badly injured/knocked out and the vehicles just break down, even the boss at the end of the level looks less utterly decimated than you’d expect. everything’s a lot cleaner…except for those planes, those guys are definitely dead.
Thank you for sharing this great video of the game. It was shared on the Neo-Geo thread over on the forums on AtariAge for others to take notice. Wonder looking Metal Slug style title Aqua Ippan is. 8^) Anthony....
The developer's dream finally came to true as he is now in the team with OG Metal Slug teams for Black Finger JET! So the updates for this could be postponed due to his activity in Kohachistudio

I hope this gets a full release. The pixel art looks great and the animation is just like metal slug's So far this game captures the feel of the original games very well and the soundtrack sounds very similar.
Hell yeah! I can't wait for this to come out! Metal Slug is so nostalgic for me, so somebody making a spiritual sucessor in it's feel is pure happiness. Good luck to the devs.

This game looks incredible! Developers really knew how to capture the design and charm from the MS games. If this is released I will definitely buy it!
The game is amazing. The only thing I think that can get better is the contrast in the drawings. There's too little difference of colour between light and shadow.
One thing that bothers me in the original game is that enemy soldiers don't have guns. They just stand in your way and throw grenades occasionally or stab you with a knife when you're within reach. I like how this game armed the enemy soldiers which makes it more sensible. some suggestion - add some humanoid mid-bosses (similar to allen n metal slug) in every level to give the game lore more characters and diverse rosters then the end bosses are always giant mecha/vehicles/contraptions.
@@YonIon996 I mean, the game ssens to take place in somewhat modern times (The training is listed as 2013 and the soldiers have modern callphones) but the soldiers are using second war era equipment, so it's clearly cartoony and not historical, so why not be free to do any design they want instead of tryin to stick to historical accuracy?
Imagine this game being on actual arcades, thanks to the game having actual credit system like one of the kind. It would be awesome if this was also available in arcade centers, for players to try to beat it with 1 coin
Man! As someone who is struggling through a deathless run of Metal Slug 3, seeing that people are still trying to put their own spin on the series and keeping it relevant (no matter how much SNK tries to neglect it) is truly awe-inspiring!
