(I played this on Metal Slug Anthology on a PS2 emulator)
Metal Slug 6 is the, probably, seventh instalment in the Metal Slug franchise. Playing the previous ones in not required. They are 2D run-and-gun arcade games that boast an impressive artstyle and well there is a good chance you’ve read this already, so I wont waste any more of your time. Except for the new levels and weapons there isn’t anything new. I should mention it is of slightly lower quality.
Story
Nothing. Actually, there is some storytelling, but it’s the practically just to connect the levels.
Mechanics and gameplay
I lied there is something. Now there is a meter that fills up every time you deal damage. What does it do? It just gives you more points.
If you want any more information about the gameplay, read any of my reviews on the other instalments. I am not rewriting it again.
Graphics and artstyle
The artstyle is of lower quality than expected from this series. It feels a bit cheap honestly.
Soundtrack and sound effects
They are good, but since the rest of the game didn’t make an impression neither did they.
Final Thoughts
HEAVY MACHINEGUN!!!
