Metal Slug X improved Metal Slug in ways I didn't even know I wanted, and I'm so happy for it! After playing it, I can confidently say that this is probably my favorite arcade game... for now... ヽ(´ー` )┌
This is another game that me and my retro buddy @handsomezack played together, and had an insanely awesome time doing co-op! Metal Slug X was able to play with and have fun with different aspects that are missed in the original Metal Slug, even small things like having the choice between two female characters and now having different environmental themes for the levels really added to the enjoyment for me. I was already impressed with the enemy and boss designs from the original game, but Metal Slug X even improved upon that! Now there's bosses that attack you from underneath, above, chase you, force you to climb, have multiple forms... the list goes on! The designs are even more gorgeous than its 1996 predecessor, and the story on top of it all is really fun to unravel. I loved how the final boss involved you and your enemies working together and seeing there's more serious issues than needing to fight each other! I just wish it didn't involve having to work side-by-side with a group that's clearly based off the Nazis, but at the end of the day, they're just a fictional "bad guy" group probably inspired by all the American films that have the Nazis as the big bad guy group, so I won't it too seriously.
My only real complaint again is the 4-way gun control over the 8-way diagonal directions, but still, that's just me nitpicking, as the controls felt significantly better overall from the original Metal Slug! All in all, I had a great time playing this game with my friend, and I'm so happy he decided to show me it! I can't wait to play Metal Slug 3!
4.5/5

MS5 may be my favorite, but X is probably the perfection of the formula. The removal of slowdown makes the level design of this game shine like no other. It must be the most enjoyable to pick up and replay multiple times, and it's where I think the difficulty has the most positive balance overall. Maybe it has the definitive selection of stages in the series too. Too bad that here the zombie form still doesn't vomit that insane napalm that annihilates the entire screen.
Em pleno 2023, jogado num PS1 slim, numa TV de tubo, revezando o controle entre eu e meu amigo de fase em fase.
Algo me diz que esse foi o jeito certo de jogar.

primeiro jogo a gente nunca esquece
E vai mais uma review de Metal Slug que não tenho oque falar a não ser repetir as mesmas palavras, e voltar a dizer que a versão da Steam é uma porcaria então nem vou me prolongar muito aki esse jogo é incrivel.
Enfim essa é apenas a opinião de alguem que ama jogar video jogos☝️🤓.

played with my friend zukai
First Metal Slug (and probably coin-op) ever played, cool experience.
If you're a metal slug fan, I'm sure this game is great. I think this game is really annoying however. I love being grenaded off the screen and getting fucked for a steam achievement.
The steam achievements are kinda broken as well for me. I played through the entire campaign with a friend online only for it to not trigger. I thought maybe it had to be local multiplayer to get it but it still didn't trigger :/ Had to cheat it in

O primeiro jogo de Arcade que eu vi, provavelmente. Lembro muito bem das letras do título aparecendo uma por uma e no fim um X enorme caindo sobre elas, achava maravilhoso de mágico!
O jogo segue a mesma trama do primeiro, um exército de dois jogadores lutando contra soldados infinitos, só que dessa vez, ALIENS entraram no chat.
Há duas garotas novas jogáveis, e o jogo ao todo na verdade é o 2 refeito sem os problemas de lentidão, tornando o outro praticamente obsoleto (e raro por causa disso)
Nunca terminei na máquina porque sem dinheiro pra isso. Primeira vez que fiz isso foi bem inusitado, mas foi na escola que tinha uma área de jogos e um dia ganhamos 2 horas sem aula, então né kk

Just Metal Slug 2 but it plays and looks better, Which is saying a lot because metal slug 2 is a great game.
primeira jogo que zerei em vida
After 7 years since I first played it at an arcade and 4 years of casually enjoying it in the context of being a game I always keep on my Nintendo switch, I found myself at a NeoGeo arcade cabinet again with “Metal Slug X” and I gotta say yeah this is definitively one of the best arcade games ever and it says enough it was THE game for me to start catching the SNK logo wherever I go
É tipo um remastered do 2 só que mil vezes melhor que aquele,muito brabo esse jogo,e é com certeza um dos melhores da franquia
i beat it with my friend navi : )
Oh my god
i get it now
The reason why I wasnt having much fun with Metal Slug was because i was trying to play it solo!!!! co-op slaps with this shit!!!!! Aside from the menagerie of tasty ass spritework in this shit and how satisfying literally Everything feels, you get a pretty short and sweet romp through some hectic as FUCK levels and some pretty foreboding ass bosses
they even got vulcan raven in here i guess, for some reason
this Definitely made me more open to the thought of playing more of the series!! Just...hehe yea not solo.. ill definitely need to call up a friend to do this again with otherwise id probably start gnashing my teeth and clawing the screen again.

The "fixed" version of 2, this one swings for the fences with some set piece-y bosses, alternate routes and secrets, and a pulpy, paranormal flavor injected into its World-at-War cartoon antics. Far from perfect, but my personal favorite for sure.
I like how quickly they abandoned the military aspect of the game and just said fuck it and went with mummies, aliens, and sewer monsters to spice up the variety of enemies to kill here.
I met someone who said they could 1cc this. Unfortunately I never saw this in action because every time he tried to do it he died.
The definitive Version of Metal Slug 2
They improved performance, slightly enhanced the sound, made changes to the stages that I personally liked more, added new power-ups, and balanced the missions much better. In conclusion, this is the "true" Metal Slug 2.
As it turns out, this is not Metal Slug 10 but rather a modified version of Metal Slug 2 with some honestly cool new weapons added in with some occasional new enemies (love the mummy dogs)
One of the most positively unhinged endings to a video game I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing, and the game's still Metal Slug, so it looks great, plays great, and it's damn hard. But it's even harder to complain about anything barring a few moments of slowdown when the game gets hectic.
Played this not long after playing Metal Slug 2 to compare. To be honest, this is basically just the "definitive" version of Metal Slug 2. The only two differences I could spot were the much improved optimization (less slow downs and such) and maybe a few different enemy placements and entries that were slightly improved over 2.
That said, this is a great, classic run and gun game. Beautiful sprites and animations on some very impressive for the time hardware, and made by some of the most talented sprite artists ever.

X/2 remain my favorite Metal Slug games. Incredibly silly, introduces strange enemies just because it can. Fun level gimmicks like mummy transformation and missile platforming. It's a good time across the board and I'm glad to have played X to compare to 2 after all this time.
Independence Day (1996) but good
Metal Slug é muito bom, se você discorda você está errado
that fightcade slowdown is not some horse
This game is some fucking heat man metal slug 2 was already good but now it's even good-er. This game is not as hard or long imo as metal slug 3 which is good even though i love that game too this one is easier to beat which is saying somwthing cause this game still hard asf.
um dos melhores jogos de arcade q já joguei... dificil pra caramba mas conpensa zerar ele. vc não gasta muito tempo pra termina-lo
