Metal Slug Defense sequel Metal Slug Attack is almost ready to strike

Metal Slug Attack, the sequel to the free-to-play Metal Slug Defense (which got a nice 7/10 from us), is coming out soon.

The concept behind the game is still the same: instead of a side-scrolling arcade game (like the arcade Metal Slug games) you place troops in lines in order to defeat your opponent's units and base.

But every aspect of the game is expanded in this sequel: you can now create guilds, compete in real-time and asynchronous battles online, and there is also a permanent map where you can conquer bases that can be taken by other players as well.

You can see all of this in action in the following trailer:
