Damn, games did NOT fuck around during the 90s, and this game proves that. At least I used one less continue than Metal Slug 1.
Dang I love those mummy dogs but that Egyptian level tower mech suit boss fight thing is a buzzkill
xtra metal
My favorite of the ones in the series I played so far. The most balanced in my opinion, and for this reason it's the one I often come back to.
(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.
Una mejora sustancial del primero con más cositas, y hasta nuevos personajes.

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.
Muito divertido zerei com meu irmão
Heavy Machine!! and a great entry on the series
com certeza o melhor da serie, muito legal
Harder than Metal Slug 3 by far, the final boss is crazy hard (1cc)
Me lo pasé en Playstation.
- One of the best Metal Slug games, a classic of the run & gun genre
- Definitely in my top 3 of this type of game
