Metal Slug Review

Okey so lets think back at a time where all the kids were hanging out in a arcade hall playing all different games. In that hall there´s one game that the kids puts all their money in and comes out happy as few and wanting to have another go at. The game is Metal Slug, an action arcade game where it´s the players goal to save the world against a terrorist organization with hell of a lot mechanized units.

The gameplay is kinda straight forward, the player goes from left to right while trying to dodge incoming projectiles. And man is there a lot of projectiles, sometimes the screen is full of enemies and projectiles so dying is something that the player will do multiple times. However it doesn´t feel impossible because the difficulty is right there. However playing it now you have the choice of infinite continue which is recommended for new players.

Sure the enemy as a lot of different arsenals to their advantages but the player gets some upgrades as well such as rocket launchers, shotgun, heavy machine gun and also some tanks that the player gets to ride. This evens out the odds a bit but only until you die. However there´s something in the game that keeps the player hooked all through the game and puts the player right in to the action which makes me wanna have more. And don´t forget to save those P.O.W. cause they will help you, plus they give sh*tload of points at the end of the level.

The soundtrack is awesome however sometimes it´s kinda difficult hearing what´s happening due to all the sounds from weapons firing and explotions.

Overall: 8.5
Verdict: This is a game that´s easy to pick up and difficult to put away, sure it´s war and sometimes might be a bit gritty but I would recommend this to everyone, mostly because the graphics is more cartoon than realistic and the gameplay is really is to learn but hard to master.

Here´s a video of me playing this game:
