METAL SLUG

Best game in the series imo. Purely simple and fun. The achievements and online multiplayer are great.

The games in the Metal Slug series are amazing, whether you play them today or played them 30 years ago. I had fun playing back then, and I’ve had fun playing with my 5-year-old son today.

A good game but a bad port. The slowdown is unforgivable, even for a game released in 2015. [quote]Reviewed by [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45820397-DetotatedGamer/]Detotated Gamer[/url][/quote]

Some of the most beautiful and charming pixel art out there! A fun run and gun, with depths to be plumed for those ready for a challenge. For me it's just a quick bit of blasting between larger and more demanding games. Really fun in local co-op too!

I don't recommend this version because the Steam version starts slowing down if there's too much happening on the screen which can lead to deaths and other unfortunate mayhem so emulation or a different port may provide a smoother playthrough. Metal Slug is the first entry in the classic side-scrolling shooter video game series. It originally launched in arcades before being ported to consoles. The Hayao Miyazaki inspired visuals and hand-drawn animations look great even 20 years after its debut. I played through the campaign twice. Once by myself and once with a friend. While I managed to finish the missions alone with infinite lives, it is a much better experience with a wingman. I would recommend this game to those looking for a quick and classic multiplayer experience.
