Legend of mana gamefaqs. Set in a high fantasy universe, the game follows an unnamed hero as they restore the land of Fa'Diel by creating the world around them and completing a number of interrelated quests in order to restore the Tree of Mana.While incorporating action role-playing elements from the prior games in the series, such as real-time battles, Legend of Mana has its own distinct style of gameplay. Legend of Mana was directed by series creator Koichi Ishii, designed by Akihiko Matsui, and produced by veteran Square director and producer Akitoshi Kawazu.The game had high sales, selling 400,000 copies in its first week of release and 700,000 by the end of 1999. Reviews were less positive than for prior games in the series. Most notably, it gives the player the ability to shape the world's structure through the Land Make system, generating regions and quests in a non-linear gameplay system rather than a strong main plotline.

I love Metal Slug 3 I really do. If I had to suggest just one of the original SNK made games it would without a doubt be this one here. The sprite work is the best it has ever been, the soundtrack is amazing and the game is bigger and better in every regard over the two Metal Slug games that came before it.

Arcade version screenshot.The gameplay mechanics are the same as in previous; the player(s) must shoot constantly at a continual stream of enemies in order to reach the end of each level. At this point, the player confronts a, who is usually considerably larger and tougher than regular enemies. On the way through each level, the player can find numerous weapon upgrades and 'Metal Slug'. The tank is known as the SV-001 ('SV' stands for Super Vehicle), which not only increases the player's offense, but considerably adds to their defense.In addition to shooting, the player can also perform melee attacks by using a knife and/or kicking. The player does not die simply by coming into contact with enemies, and correspondingly, many of the enemy troops also have melee attacks. Much of the game's scenery is also destructible, and occasionally, this reveals extra items or power-ups, although most of the time it simply results in.During the course of a level, the player also encounters, who, if freed, offer the player bonuses in the form of random items or weapons.

At the end of each level, the player receives a scoring bonus based on the number of freed POWs. If the player dies before the end of the level, the tally of freed POWs reverts to zero.Branching paths A new feature in Metal Slug 3 is the branching path system; in most missions, there are forking paths from which the player must choose one, each with their own obstacles, and each of varying length and difficulty. All paths eventually lead to the same boss battle, but the player may have different equipment, and may have rescued more or fewer POW's depending on their choice of path.Vehicles Several new vehicles were introduced into the game:. The 'Slug Driller' can be found in the underground part of Mission 4. The drill is capable of mowing down every enemy in front of it and can also be extended. Additionally, the Driller can increase its height, making the player unreachable to ground enemies. The 'Slug Mariner' gives added firepower when underwater.

It fires high-mass rounds which sink to the bottom, as well as. The 'Elephant Slug' is an elephant strapped with a. By picking up a battery or a chili pepper, the elephant can fire a bolt of lightning or a fireball from its trunk, respectively. The 'Ostrich Slug' is similar to the 'Camel Slug' in Metal Slug 2/ Metal Slug X, although it is faster, can jump farther, and can turn around. The 'LV Rebel Armor' is a rebel-produced vehicle that can be captured and used by the player. It comes equipped with a (though in Mission 5 it comes equipped with a instead), which is interchangeable with other handheld weapons. It also has a, a melee claw attack, and jump jets.

The second player can stand on top of the Rebel Armor, and can receive a boost. The 'Slug Copter' appears alongside the 'Slug Flyer' in the airborne portion of the Final Mission. Its Vulcan cannon can fire in all directions, unlike the Flyer. It is also armed with. The 'Astro Slug' is used jointly by the players and the Rebel forces. Carry it into space, where the player can make use of its weaponry. Like the Rebel Armor, the Astro Slug can use infantry weapons through ports on its sides.

It fires rockets as a secondary weapon.Character transformation As with Metal Slug 2/ Metal Slug X, the player can transform into various different states. In addition to the and forms from the previous game, other forms include:. When doused with infectious material, the player becomes a. While medication is available to reverse the effect, the zombified player can make use of a devastating (but slow) vomit attack that covers most of the forward area.

The player cannot crouch or jump high, but is immune to attacks from enemies (except zombified enemies). If a zombified player comes into contact with infectious material, they will die. Underwater, the player equips a with a bubble helmet. Rather than grenades, the player uses a bomb-launching system with the ordnance affected by gravity. When flying, should the player lose their vehicle, they rely on a backup that can fire.

When in space, if the player loses the Astro Slug, they must depend on a jet pack and a breathing apparatus. Explosives are contained in the pack, and when fired they cause a massive fireball.Plot Several years ago, the evil General Morden was foiled in his attempted against the worlds' governments by the Peregrine Falcon Strike Force.

After forming an alliance with an alien race in an attempt to stage another coup, Morden was betrayed and taken prisoner by his new found allies. His rebels troops then formed an alliance with the Strike Force, and ultimately, the aliens were defeated, although Morden himself was apparently killed.Instrumental in defeating Morden during the first coup were Cpt. Marco Rossi and Lt. Tarma Roving.

Rossi (now a Major) and Roving (now a Captain) also led the fight against the Morden during the second coup, this time joined by two members of the Intelligence Agency's Squad S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S.; Sgt. Eri Kasamoto and Sgt. 1st Class Fiolina Germi.Several years have passed since that time, and Morden is officially listed as missing by his surviving followers. Determined to wipe out every remnant of Morden's powerbase, the army send Rossi and Roving to destroy all remaining rebel strongholds, one by one.

Players will enjoy all the possibilities for customization; ship parts can be painted or patterned and decorative elements can be added. BATTLE ON DIFFERENT PLATFORMSApart from the PC version, a version for mobile platforms and consoles are still in development. Deuterium wars full.

During the fighting, however, Rossi and Roving come to the conclusion that the enemy is too well organised, and perhaps Morden is not as dead as was initially thought. Meanwhile, the S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. Come across a series of strange events which lead the army to conclude that the aliens with whom Morden once allied himself have returned.The Peregrine Falcon Strike Force and S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. Are once again united, and sent to defeat this new threat. After various battles against Morden's forces, the heroes are shocked to face off against Morden himself. However, after defeating him, it is revealed that it was really an alien in disguise, and the real Morden has (once again) been taken prisoner by the aliens.

The aliens then abduct the player character and leave Earth. At this point, another character takes the player character's place. Once again, an ad hoc alliance is formed between the Strike Force and Morden's troops so as to save their captured comrades. The rebels launch an armada of to attack the alien, Rugname.

After a long battle through the ship's interior, the Rugname starts to collapse due to the amount of damage it has sustained. After destroying the ship's core, the Strike Force must fight their way through armies of clones of their captured teammate, some of whom have turned into zombies. Eventually, both the captured member of the Strike Force and Morden are freed. As they escape, however, they are confronted by the aliens' leader, Rootmars. A battle ensues in Earth's atmosphere, which is won by the Strike Force, who leave Rootmars' body in the ocean. Upon seeing Morden and his men celebrating, the player character throws his/her weapon into the water in disgust.Versions Console versions In the PS2 and Xbox versions of the game, once the arcade mode has been beaten, there are two additional mini-games: 'Storming the UFO Mothership' and 'Fat Island'. 'Storming the UFO Mothership'This mode allows the player to control one of General Morden's soldiers as they attempt to rescue fellow soldiers and attack the Martian forces.

The player can choose between the 'Shield Soldier', 'Bazooka Soldier', and 'Normal Soldier'. The player is given a single life, which is balanced by the number of reinforcements from fellow soldiers.

'Fat Island'Two players compete to gain the most weight in a limited amount of time by eating various foods. They start out at 100 kg and must finish at 200. If players lose enough weight, they will return to normal size and subsequently to a mummy state.Later releases In 2006, (titled Metal Slug Complete in Japan) was released for the,.
