REVIVECONTENTS CO.,LTD. has announced the launch of its newest roguelike action title, METAL SLUG RUSH, now available on both Android and iOS. Developed by RingGames under an official license from SNK, this is the latest entry in the classic Metal Slug franchise, bringing the series' signature run-and-gun chaos into a fast-paced survival format built for mobile play.
A New Direction for a Classic Franchise
As someone who has followed the Metal Slug series for years, it's genuinely exciting to see METAL SLUG RUSH finally go live. Instead of the traditional side-scrolling structure the franchise is known for, this entry takes inspiration from survival roguelikes, throwing players into nonstop waves of enemies rather than a linear mission path.
You can battle endless enemy waves packed with classic Metal Slug action, facing off against the Rebel Army, ruthless Pirates, and the iconic Mars People in intense, back-to-back skirmishes that ramp up in difficulty the longer you survive.
Leveling Up, Perks, and Build Synergies
As you survive each run, you'll gain experience, level up on the fly, and unlock powerful upgrades that shape how you play. Every session feels different, since you can experiment with new perk combinations while trying to outlast increasingly difficult hordes of enemies.
- Gain experience mid-run and level up without pausing the action
- Unlock upgrades that reshape your playstyle on the fly
- Mix and match gear to create stronger build synergies
- Face escalating waves of Rebel Army, Pirates, and Mars People
Familiar Faces and the Series' Signature Charm
Despite the shift to a roguelike survival format, METAL SLUG RUSH still feels like Metal Slug through and through. The iconic pixel art, the legendary announcer's voice, familiar heroes, memorable enemies, and even Hyakutaro's humorous appearances all help the game capture the charm that made the series so beloved in the first place.
