METAL SLUG AWAKENING WALKTHROUGH P1

Metal Slug Awakening

Metal Slug: Awakening is a cross-platform side-scrolling run-and-gun game developed by Timi Studios (a subsidiary of Tencent Games) and published by HaoPlay Limited, with the intellectual property owned by SNK. The game was initially released in China on April 18, 2023, followed by Southeast Asia on August 22, 2023, and the global version launched on July 17, 2024, for iOS and Android. The Steam version was released on July 19, 2024, after a brief delay during Valve's review process.

The game features a blend of classic Metal Slug gameplay with modern elements such as a World Adventure mode, 3-player team-up battles, and Roguelike challenges. It includes a roster of playable characters from the Metal Slug series, such as Tarma, Nadia, Trevor, and Eri, alongside characters from other franchises like The King of Fighters and Arena of Valor, with new crossover characters like Kyo Kusanagi and Mai Shiranui introduced in later seasons. The game's narrative follows characters like Shadow, Martina, Aurora, Eske, Marco Polo, Freyja, Ilum, and Dong Huanlong, each with unique backstories and abilities.

As of August 8, 2025, the game is actively updated, with Season 5 currently live in the China server, Season 4 in Southeast Asia, and Season 1 in the global version. Recent updates have introduced new gameplay features like the Treasure Cave and Phantasmic Geocenter, along with new weapons such as the Laser Gun and Plasma Cannon, and new characters like Eiserner and Freyja. The game is free-to-play and available on iOS, Android, and PC (via Steam and a standalone Windows version). While concerns about the game's longevity have been raised, particularly regarding its gacha mechanics and monetization, the game remains active with ongoing content updates.
