It has been over a year that there is no update NO UPDATE! Terrible game balance made the game even worse. I need a Metal Slug game like Metal Slug Attack, not half-way done crap. SNK could just copy-paste more units

Starts out fun but eventually devolves into mindless grind. Half my gameplay time is just spamming the A button to redo levels over and over for items and xp. Plus once you reach the hell levels its just brain damage
