Information
The
gameplay of the series is characteristic of run and gun games: large
numbers of enemies and a player character with extremely powerful
weapons. In most run and guns, contact with an enemy leads to
annihilation. In this series, however, contact results in the
opportunity to perform a melee attack and the opportunity for the enemy
to perform a melee attack of his own if he has one. The player's melee
attack is also much stronger than most shots. This leads to the ability
for the player to run in and use melee attacks to take down a number of
troops, and the ability to quickly defeat enemies that can take plenty
of damage like the mummies in Metal Slug 2.
The
player starts with only a simple pistol, as the game progresses the
player picks up new weapons. The player can only carry one weapon at the
time, when a new weapon is found it replaces the old one. Similarly,
when the ammo runs out, the player reverts to using the handgun. A new
system was implemented with Metal Slug 6 allowing players to carry two
larger weapons and switch between them as well as the default pistol.
The
SV-001 or Metal Slug is the main vehicle of the Metal Slug franchise.
It is a small, cartoonish silver-gray tank (SV is short for "Super
Vehicle"). The tank is armed with one cannon and twin vulcan cannons.
The vehicle can jump and crouch. Crouching opens a hatch on the top of
the tank through which grenades can be thrown. The grenades are
independent of the cannon's ammo system. The vehicle can run over
infantry and perform a suicide attack, with the driver jumping clear and
the tank ramming into and exploding upon the target. The vehicle can
take three direct hits before it is destroyed. The enemy chaser variant
has a shield that must be destroyed before the vehicle can be destroyed.
It is propelled by caterpillar treads. Over time, these specifications
changed into any vehicle armed with a vulcan cannon and a cannon variant
suited to the role of the vehicle, and propelled suitably for that
vehicle's environment. In Metal Slug 6 (and the home version of Metal
Slug X, 3, 4, 5), Tarma can lock the vulcan cannons into one position
and fire continuously. The "slug gunner" is considered the epitome of
slug evolution.
