Desert town [Stage 03 ~Desert Town~] (Metal Slug 3D [2006])
You want to know how to make a desert stage track not sound dull? Take notes from this track among many others! There’s the expected sick Electric Guitar intro, followed by a heroic yet slower-paced melody than your usual Metal Slug track; this is something I could get used to!
And holy fucking shit, that emotional Violin accompanied by an imposing Harp that goes up n’ down to put you in the position of a hero who’s fighting to prevent this town from facing a catastrophe, that’s top-tier stuff right there. The way the track loops is sort of unremarkable, but it keeps the melody I liked from the beginning, so that’s why it stays a favorite for me.
This is the last Metal Slug track in the list as well, but I’ve got plenty of other Metal Slug favorites across the entire franchise, they’re just waiting in my favorite VG music masterlist to be presented early next year; Metal Slug has a section all to its own!
(Length before loop: Nearly 2 minutes)
