Play Metal Slug X Online

Summary

Metal Slug X feels like a polished remix of its predecessor, Metal Slug 2, with the engine borrowed from Metal Slug 3 to wipe out the old slowdown. The game cranks up the difficulty and sprinkles in a host of tweaks: the soundtrack is re‑mixed, a fresh announcer calls out the action, and stages now shift through dusk, twilight or sunset instead of a simple day/night split. After Mission 2 you can even bulk up by munching hidden food items, turning your character "fat" and making the upgraded weapons look and hit even harder. New gear like the Stones, Iron Lizard and a golden Metal Slug join the roster, while enemies such as Mummy Dogs replace old faces and environmental objects explode in surprising ways. The PlayStation port arrived in January 2001 via Agetec, keeping the beloved "Combat School" mode from the Neo Geo CD releases, and moved roughly 164 k units across Japan and the United States.
