Play as one of four soldiers battling across six arcade missions to stop General Morden's coup attempt. The game is a 2D side-scrolling run-and-gun shooter, playable alone or with a partner.
Advance through enemy-filled stages by shooting, dodging attacks, and facing bosses. A varied arsenal and combat vehicles—including tanks and other armed machines—change how you tackle encounters; hazards can also alter your character's form.
Arcade Mode follows the missions in order, while Mission Mode lets you revisit stages you have unlocked. The game also offers local and online co-op, adjustable settings, and score leaderboards.
Players often enjoy the fast, chaotic run-and-gun action, detailed pixel art, and mix of weapons, enemies, and vehicles. The challenge and co-op play are also recurring draws, and some reviewers value the changes made to Metal Slug 2. Opinions on the PC version's performance and multiplayer are mixed, with repeated complaints about slowdowns, input problems, and connection errors.
“METAL SLUG X”, a masterpiece in SNK’s emblematic 2D run & gun action shooting game series, still continues to fascinate millions of fans worldwide to this day for its intricate dot-pixel graphics, and simple and intuitive game controls. One of the most highly praised titles in the series among Metal Slug fans for its refined balance and game volume, heads out to the Steam gaming platform!
