while the game made me remember old Metal slug but its systems such as letting me only Upgrade my Squad's weapons and not other weapons is the problem and the Select all Option for Core removal is gone leading me to select 1 at a time for Batch removal also I wish for an Anti-duplicate role system also the Banning of Non-cussing words is annoying
