Developed by SNK CORPORATION · Published by SNK CORPORATION









METAL SLUG XX is a 2D run-and-gun shooter across seven missions. Choose from seven soldiers, including Leona Heidern, Ralf Jones, and Clark Still, each with a distinct character identity and some with unique abilities.
Advance through enemy-filled stages by shooting, jumping, and ducking incoming attacks. Pick up weapons and grenades, switch between stored weapons, pilot Slug vehicles, and take on bosses.
Hidden paths offer alternate routes through stages. Combat School adds more than 70 challenge missions, with military ranks and a supporting satellite to earn through progression. The game also supports local co-op.
Reviewers who enjoy the game praise its energetic run-and-gun action, character variety and abilities, and Combat School challenges; some also enjoy playing locally with a friend. Others criticize the PC port, uneven difficulty, and stage or background design, so experiences with the controls and performance vary.
