Waiting for the next Playdead's game

Little boring and too much repetitive. First part that lost my interest. Just a mix of everything from previous parts with no idea. There're some changes in gameplay, but it doesn't realy weight a lot.

The most japanese part. Still good!

Strong part. Between 1st and 2nd. It's a mix of some old traditions and some new vision. I was affraid that a new studio couldn't keep such a high level. But they did it!

What a fantastic final mission! In general Metal Slug X is the best part. But this final mission...OMG! So creative, so dynamic, so crazy! How much I've enjoyed it!
And it was cool to see some references on films and games, like A Space Odyssey, Alien, Space Invaders.
An incredible end of Nazca's Metal Slug trilogy!

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.

Today's playthrough showed that Metal Slug 1 is not so good as I thought. Of course, the animations, level design, humor and dynamics are excellent. However, the game is poorly balanced.
It's impossible to complete the game without continuing after losing last life, it's unreal even on the easiest level. But it becomes uninteresting to play with endless attempts. You can just push forward shooting non-stop and you will easily pass to the end.
Also, the game doesn't have some interesting plot as in the next parts. It's just missions against the soldiers and vehicles with a couple of so-so bosses. But it's ok like the first episode of a long series.

So chilling beautiful pazzle game with amazing sound and pleasant story. Not too hard, just for chill out.
