Metal Slug Infinity
Metal Slug Infinity
### Plot
Metal Slug Infinity takes place in the not too distant future (about the third decade of the 21st century), in which the world was swallowed up by the war with the sinister general Modrene and the legions of his minions. Players take on the role of members of a group of heroes who save the planet from all kinds of threats.
### Mechanics
Metal Slug Infinity consists of a series of separate clashes with different types of antagonists – rebels, zombies, aliens and mummies. From time to time we also have to deal with a powerful boss (it is worth noting that some of them resemble anime characters). In the production of the studio ekorr we will find a whole array of characters known from the Metal Slug series – such as Marco, Tarma, Eri or Fio. The title allows us to “direct” different protagonists, provided that we manage to unlock the cards assigned to them (we do this by playing or buying appropriate items in the store).
This is the RPG idle – it means that we do not control our character directly. The hero moves and attacks himself, and the player’s contribution is limited to observing the screen and responding to the actions taken by the protagonist and the enemies with whom he fights. Touching specific icons allows us to use special abilities and objects, which gives us an advantage at key moments. It is also worth paying attention to prisoners of war – by saving them we will gain access to various bonuses.
An important part of Metal Slug Infinity is developing characters and acquiring new items. We have at our disposal various weapons, such as rifles or machine guns. It is also possible to summon rocket attacks from the air and even use ancient alien artifacts. From time to time we can also introduce a powerful vehicle to the battlefield. Various amplification and a special teleportation system also help us to have fun.
### Game modes
In Metal Slug Infinity we can play alone or with others. In multiplayer gameplay, we can use the Ally Battle system, which allows us to combine the strengths of individual players – thanks to the wide range of possibilities, even the weaker users with less developed characters can have something to offer.
### Technical aspects
Unlike gameplay, the Metal Slug Infinity graphics resembles what we know from other parts of the series. We have two-dimensional characters and boards made in the characteristic pixel art convention, as well as an artistic style reminiscent of animated films and old, 16-bit games. The whole is enriched with spectacular light effects and looks quite decent.
