Metal Slug X é tudo que uma sequência deve ser, tem o dobro de personagens (cada um com habilidades unicas), novas armas, armaduras, a melhor história da série inteira, uma maravilha. Mesmo com isso tudo, é um pouco do mesmo, mesmo visual e etc.

A história é peak fiction btw

9/10

I remember being nine years old when me and my mother took me to a laundromat/pollo a la brasa place to wash our clothes since our apartment building didn't have washing machines at the time. My mom would watch her telenovellas on the crts hanging up all over the places while I begged my mom for a dollar in quarters so I can play Area 51, Soul Edge and this game. I remember trying to ask the kids around waiting if they wanted to play with me and even spotted them if they didn't have anything. My first exposure into the Metal Slug series and all those years later, still as great as I remembered it as a kid.

The iconic run and gun gameplay is simple yet extremely satisfying. The levels are pretty great and the whole game is just full of tiny touches you wouldn't expect here. If you get hit with a certain attack, you'll turn into a mummy and can only use your pistol and if you eat too much food, your character will literally gain weight almost to the point you can explode. The weapon pickups are common and dopamine hits when you get them and there's rarely a bad one here either.

Some bosses can take way too long and there's a difficulty spike near the end but that's really it for me.

I've only played a few Metal Slug games but I always come back to this one for a variety of reasons. Always a fun time with someone to just blow and shoot everything up in general.
