About this game

[Folded Spacetime, Endless Causality - Version Update Announcement]

I. New Story: Folded Spacetime
Time-travel phenomena are occurring frequently, and the butterfly wings of parallel worlds quietly brush across the sea of space-time. The future Morden Army, reduced to "Temporal Assassins" due to the collapse of the Space-Time Gate, appeared above Andrew City without warning. Folded Spacetime, Endless Causality. The future Morden Army, gradually losing their sanity in the void, seems to be resolutely executing some kind of "directive"...

II. New Character: Thea
A member of the Hidden Knowledge Society, codenamed "Snowy Owl." Growing up in the polar blizzards, she deconstructed the Abyss energy in the "Echo Crystal" with her extraordinary sensitivity to light and color. She partners with the information broker "Crow" to explore the mysteries of the Time-space Rift together.

III. New Weapon: Light Sniper Gun
Achieves kilometer-level precise penetration with a Hyper Laser beam, leaving a Whiteflare Trace along its trajectory. With strong impact, it can penetrate Mecha Shields and is highly effective against heavy objectives.

IV. Gameplay Update: Abyssal Cruise
With the appearance of the Space-Time Gate and the future Morden Army, some high-ranking Regular Army officials have considered using space-time technology to achieve world domination. The Space-Time Administration suspects that someone is secretly conducting illegal research and has specially commissioned the Adventurers' Guild to investigate. Eugenia, the president of the Adventurers' Guild, discovered that the "Sea of Time" has recently welcomed a large number of uninvited guests.
The "Sea of Time" is a sea area with many Legendary time travelers passed down since ancient times. It belongs to an active space-time plate and is therefore targeted by illegal researchers. The adventure Team gathers and sets off once again, vowing to nip the conspiracy in the bud!

Really fun time until the game forces you to level boost from 22 to 190. I now have this super team that I didn't earn, and the story is busted. The story mode and other modes like Joint Operation think I've finished them but I haven't. So I still need to go through the story to unlock other stuff but because I'm now so high level, none of the dialogue plays anymore. Utterly baffling decision I hope was a bug. Let players opt out of level boosting. Level boosting sucks!

First, I think I'd prefer controller support for this game. There's too much movement and areas to take cover during boss fights that I don't really like the on-screen controls. Second, it's crazy to think that this has take so long to load. The 3D rendering video doesn't feel like it should as abundant as there are and it's not why I was drawn to Metal Slug anyway. Some of the extras to iconic and old fights are interesting but not enough to keep me. Maybe I'll check it out again later.

This game has always been one of my favorites. I do miss the Neo Geo! I do miss the 90's! Metal Slug is one of the very best shooters ever developed! I can't believe I'm playing this game on a phone. SNK, I didn't see that one coming! The fun factor has always been a 10! The graphics have always been a 10! The storyline has always been a 10! This game is no exception! Metal Slug Awakening is a perfect shooter! This game looks awesome, plays great! It is FUN!
