I assume its the tower health, but it should be the percentage of the wave you’ve completed. There is a mystery bar at the bottom along with numbers that never move.

Having two meant they were unstoppable even when times looked bad for them, they still muscled through it. At some point I was bored enough to stop playing and so I allowed zombies to make it through, but my hired gun still put up a heck of a fight. The game is already at a point where my tower was never touched. With another soldier on your side, the game feels far too easy and reduces the stress. There are soldiers to purchase for ground combat that will aide you, but otherwise, you’re all alone. I suppose that would sap all the challenge from what is already an easy game that relies on a grind. It would be easier if you could fight the enemies from the ground rather than stuck in your tower. Higher waves only make them faster to compensate for your gun upgrades. The sad thing is the variety of zombie sprites is used sparingly until a boss fight where every zombie sprite comes out for a walk.

Bonus cash for accuracy and time would have been nice, but in the wild west of free games, you take what you can get.įor the most part the enemies, are ground zombies and flying demons with little variety.

I appreciate having the ability to upgrade and guns feel different, but its still a shallow game. There are upgrades to your clip size, gun strength and reload speed as well.

Even in the upgrade menu, the weapon you start with is always highlighted, even if you select something different. There’s a problem with changing weapons, because your current weapon never highlights any different from the default weapon. The reload process is a painful amount of time, but you can change to a different weapon if you have another. Depending on the gun you’re using and its upgrades, you’ll run out of bullets. You shoot with the mouse cursor and your bullets instantly hit. It uses zombies, characters, soldiers and sprites to make it look convincing, even if its a single screen game with no change in background since you’re defending a single base for as many levels as you can. It uses music and sounds from the game, but stops short at the announcer narrating things. The game looks like Metal Slug or at least a combination of backgrounds and sprites. In between waves, you can use cash from defeating enemies to purchase better guns, health and other upgrades for your fortress. Metal Slug vs Zombies takes a departure from run and gun action and its a simple point and click shooter that has you defending your tower from waves of enemies. It was only a matter of time before unofficial games started to crop up using its fantastic sprites. Its synonymous with quirky fun and gorgeous animation. Metal Slug is one of the premier side scrolling run and gun games of any generation.
