"OKAY! HEAVY MACHINE GUN! ROCKET LAWN-CHAIR!"
The enhanced second of SNK's shoot'em up arcade goodies offers up a boombastic joyride I'm not looking to hop off from. That gameplay, so explosive! And oh my god the spritework! That 5-star level spritework baby! No amount of deaths are gonna stop me from coming back everytime. The tasteful reference to Independence Day's "HELLO BOY'S! I'M BAAAACK!!!" will never not be funny to me several replays later.

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.
primeira jogo que zerei em vida
Just Metal Slug 2 but it plays and looks better, Which is saying a lot because metal slug 2 is a great game.
- One of the best Metal Slug games, a classic of the run & gun genre
- Definitely in my top 3 of this type of game

Deberian llamar a este juego un Re-Skin del 2, no se, esta divertido pero nada mas.
run n' gun clássico bem divertido e desafiador
HEAVY MACHINE GUN

Jogo bom igual tua mãe
É tipo o 3, mas diferente!
Até hoje um dos melhores jogos do gênero. É quase idêntico ao Metal Slug 2, e conserta muitos problemas que eram presentes na versão anterior.
Metal Slug 2 pero bueno
Infancia y barrio hacerlo con una sola moneda
Played it in 2018, the game was released in 2014 to steam.
Really great as well.
Really great as well.
Harder than Metal Slug 3 by far, the final boss is crazy hard (1cc)
Me lo pasé en Playstation.
Beautiful and fun. Just like 1, it's one of the best run n guns still.
De todos os jogos da franquia Metal Slug que joguei esse, para mim, é o melhor. A dificuldade não é tão exagerada igual em outros jogos da franquia, possui 6 fases com cenários bem diversos e um level design que agrega valor juntamente aos chefões. Faltou adicionarem novas armas e personagens, mas entendo totalmente haja vista a limitação da época.

JOGÃO
(I played this on Metal slug Anthology on a PS2 emulator)
Metal slug X is Metal slug 2 with a few minor differences and the occasional stuttering lag spikes fixed. Because of that, I will mostly copy my review of Metal slug 2. It was originally an arcade game that was later ported to the PS 1. The game is a 2D platformer shooter with a very beautiful artstyle. Overall, I would recommend playing this over Metal slug 2 or if you just want more of the same.
Story
Not much of a narrative, although the IGDB description does give of the appearance of a wider story.
Gameplay
Fairly simple controls as this is an arcade game. You can move left or right and crouch or jump. Shooting is only on the 2 axis. There are also grenades you can throw and more powerful weapons with limited ammo you can find. You will need them as this is not an easy game. Arcade games try to suck as much money from the players as possible, and the main method they use is to increase the difficulty. Another part kept in the port is the lives' system. After you die 3 times, which happens whenever you get hit, you can choose to either respawn and trivialize the Metal slug X by brute forcing it or restart the WHOLE GAME. It could really use some checkpoints. But I bet these were real money makes back in the day.
Graphics and artstyle
It keeps the phenomenal artstyle of the previous entries. Everything from the enemy soldiers to the background has so much character and style.
Soundtrack
Pretty fun soundtrack, quite fitting to the tone of the game as well. Favourite part is “Kiss in the dark”.

Oh yeah! This is Metal Slug that I remember. It was some disappointment after replaying first part and that's why I didn't have much expectations for Metal Slug X. But how fun is just to play it through this increadibly designed missions, so special and full of many details. The game is realy better balanced. And the gameplay is more developed by some funny additions. Boss characters are more expressive. And here I can see the story.
Large step after the first part.

Mais do mesmo, não surpreende, mas vale a pena jogar o multiplayer.
Played this co op and it was really fun but also kinda incomprehensible.

Imposible equivocarte con un Metal Slug
Good run and gun, beautiful sprite art, quarter muncher.
METAL SLUG XIS
METAL SLUG IS SO FUCKING GOOD AND THIS ONE IS BETTER
xtra metal
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
