Metal Slug Advance
📖 介紹
The first original Metal Slug for handhelds. Rescue POWs, collect upgrade cards, and blast through branching missions with iconic weapons and the legendary SV-001 tank.
Metal Slug Advance marked a milestone as the first original entry in the legendary run-and-gun series designed specifically for handheld play, rather than a simplified arcade port. Released in 2004 by SNK Playmore, it brought the franchise's signature over-the-top action to the Game Boy Advance with surprising depth and polish.
The game introduces a unique POW Card system: rescue hostages during missions and earn cards that grant permanent upgrades like increased health, faster movement, and new weapon abilities. Five explosive missions feature branching paths, offering three alternate routes per stage that encourage multiple playthroughs. Players wield classic Metal Slug weapons including the Heavy Machine Gun, Rocket Launcher, and Laser, alongside new additions like the Enemy Chaser homing weapon.
Join the iconic mercenary squad as they battle the forces of Zangzilla and the Rebel Army across war-torn landscapes. Command the legendary SV-001 Slug tank, call in air strikes, and unleash devastating super weapons to survive increasingly chaotic encounters. The story follows the familiar Metal Slug formula of absurd military satire packed with humor and relentless action.
Metal Slug Advance remains a standout entry in the series for handheld gaming, proving that portable Metal Slug could deliver the same explosive satisfaction as its arcade counterparts. Its POW Card progression system added a fresh layer of strategy, while the branching level design gave the game remarkable replay value. For GBA owners, it stands as one of the finest run-and-gun experiences on the platform.
