Classic and always gold!
Loved this game as a kid and still love it as an adult. Thanks for bringing this gem to PC :D
A very nostalgic game, taken from the quarter consuming arcade machines, and has a lot of replay value just for practice, as you'll be playing it a lot. Yes, there is a freeplay mode for the credits, but if you want a challenge, lower it. Played it as a little kid back in the 2010's on keypad phones. On the way to get the no continue achievement, but my main challenge is to go through all 7 stages without dying once to keep my score from POW's and the Slugs, so wish me luck. Animations are basic but very charming and hilarious, the sound effects are nostalgic and remarkable, the soundtrack is just phenomenal, and hell, a multiplayer mode to boot?? What more is there to ask for!
One problem is that there is some lag when you spawn into a stage, so just be wary of that. Otherwise, 10/10 game, Stop reading this and buy it for yourself, have a friend to play it with as well, maybe wait for a sale and/or get 2, 3, and X. See you on the battlefield, soldier o7
ROCKET LAWNCHAIR
Metal Slug makes you feel invincible for like 3 seconds… then you die to a bullet the size of a grain of rice. 10/10 would die again
Timeless
Never played it, im a COMANDO 2 guy, girlfriend has nostalgia soo thas gud
Getting 100% is ez
the game is don't work as should be
fun
Very nice game of it's time. Brings back lots of memories every time I play it.
Works great on Steam Deck
As simple a side scrolling, quarter munching shooter can be from the year Pre-2000. It's mindless insanity that you can knock out in 40 minutes with a ton of continues, and that's all it really needs to be. Thanks SNK. Very Cool.
Ah old school!
Classic
HEAVY MACHINE GUN
Oldie but goodie
Simple run n' gun action, nothin' special imo but I played solo which might be why
yes
Terrible Port. FPS Tanks to low 10-5 fps at some points.
This is a money grab. Do not buy this unless you really don't care about money, or maybe if it's on sale for $1.
The game was designed as a 'quarter sink' (a money grab, in the old arcade days) and it still plays the same as it ever did in the arcade. It took less than 40 minutes to finish the game and it was, overall, not enjoyable. You can find game demos for free that last longer and are far more enjoyable.
I bought it on sale for nostalgia sake and I wish I hadn't. Now I just regret the quarters I wasted as a kid and doubly regret that I gave more money. There are dozens of better games from indie studios that you can buy right now for less money.
Those who released this on steam, for what they're charging (for a nearly 30 year old demo-game that's barely been update), should be ashamed of themselves.
Good to be broke. It would suck to get drained of all your pocket change and become broke.
Insane input delay and slowdowns btw.
C'MON BOY!!
The graphics will never be better
Nice
horrible f*cking performance issues, but ey at least it's nostalgic right, same thing for X and third part
Now that I played this game again, on PC, it's too short. I finished playing it by spamming my infinite credits and bombs.
I also spammed the free Heavy Machine Gun after using a credit for my character to respawn. It was really boredomsome for some reason.
Playing this with joystick would be much ideal though.
Anyway... I want my refund... :D
Game, even on sale, with the others, are not worth it to be paid for something like a price.
But if you want to support the devs, go ahead. Not that the devs can still benefit more than the publishers. lmao (dunno what I'm talking about)
Classic SNK arcade game, has a few slow down issues (Im assuming from the old software) so I wont complain. The co-op works decent and with age this game has no on-line players so Id say get it for the memory and to add a arcade classic to your Steam library.
Excelent game!!
A certified classic that is fun to play and is very accessible for everyone. Also, it's dirt cheap when it's on sale.
Nostalgic and fun. My inner child is incredibly happy.
This port sucks, Metal Slug is a very good game but you are better off pirating and emulating this game for free on like MAME than getting this version even if it is like about 3 dollars for Metal Slug 1, X, and 3 on sale. I have to use an application like rivatuner to make it run at 60 frames per second and yet there are still lag spikes and input delays. Also there is something wrong with the music, it sounds choppy at times for some reason. I bought ports of old SNK games by Dotemu before on GOG and they are kind of terrible and have the same issues. I bought PULSTAR on GOG and that game runs extremely fast without me forcing it to industry standard 60 fps. I don't know why I even bought this port other than I thought getting the steam achievements would have been fun which is why I bought ports of old console/arcade games on steam before.
I want to relive those moments. But not like this.
Pros, Cons, Issues, Analysis and Verdict further down.
Some were getting ready to dive into the pool. Others were playing cards under the canopy of secular oak trees. There was always someone ordering fried fish, and you could catch its aroma wafting from the little restaurant on the side. But people like me stayed glued to the screens under the veranda, in a modest open-air arcade room. Amid the innocent laughter and the rhythmic clatter of foosball, there was the constant barrage of gunfire, punctuated by a booming voice that simply declared...
“HEAVY MACHINEGUN"

🟩 Pros
- The undisputed champion of run 'n' gun titles, the game that put its signature on Contra's tombstone, has finally landed on Steam. Relive the explosive frenzy you cherished back in the day, or, if you're new, experience the arcade revolution right at your fingertips.
- Stunning, near-unrivaled pixel art, crafted with meticulous attention to detail and animation. Back when colors popped and developers weren't afraid of using saturation, we had these little games offering big experiences, ones that did the best job at transporting players inside their vibrant and soulful worlds.
- The music, like the graphics and gameplay, truly benefitted from the limitations of the era. When creative minds are faced with boundaries, they often work hard to push those limits and still deliver something extraordinary. With only a handful of audio channels and single-digit bits at their disposal, composers managed to create unforgettable tracks nonetheless. That's because, back then, there were no quick fixes or shortcuts. You had to know your craft and there was no way around that. That was the case and it shows on Metal Slug's OST, which will forever be remembered for being packed with bangers.
- New features like Steam Achievements, Trading Cards, Online/Offline Multiplayer, Leaderboards, all add replayability, breathing fresh life into a classic experience.
🟥 Cons
[*] This port however, is simply atrocious. It’s as if someone took the backside of a macaque, slammed it onto a keyboard, and there you have it: an official port that is worse than any unofficial one. Lag spikes plague the game at any resolution, and severe input delay ruins the flow of gameplay. Now; I'm not the type of guy who throws a tantrum whenever his beloved 120 FPS, which he can't even perceive, takes a nosedive and verges on the double digit. I'm not that obsessed that, in my subconscious mind, I count the fractions of a second between me pushing a button, and a bunch of pixels on the screen changing color. However, it is precisely because I'm not that kind of guy that I can feel something really wrong with this sad excuse at emulation; something so poorly thought and executed, that even I am left aghast with it. And that's the sole, yet gigantic reason why I cannot recommend a staple of my childhood.

- Severe lag spikes and input lag experienced by many players, me included.
- Music isn't as crispy as I remember it; probably one of the many victims of poor emulation.
- The leaderboard is infested with cheaters, so maybe compete against your friends, not globally.
[/td]
[td]
- Playing at 800x600 resolution, 4:3 aspect ratio, may fix some of the lag (and for the love of god, disable the default video filter while you're at it. That thing will smear the pixels and turn everything into a smudge of vomit).
- If that doesn't work, you could try right-clicking the game in your library, select "browse local files", then right-click the .exe. Go into properties, then the compatibility tab. Here, "change high DPI settings". Put a checkmark on "override high DPI scaling behavior".

💭 Final Considerations
The trilogy bundle, on discount, will cost roughly three bucks. Considering that, back in the day, it would be the equivalent of three to six "continues" (each continue consisting of three lives), it is still worth considering. However, you will most likely need to turn a blind eye to Dotemu's glaring incompetence; which is unfortunate, because I usually admire this studio.
📝Verdict
You want virtually the same accuracy as it was back then, meaning almost identical feeling of gameplay, graphics, and music? Go with MAME. Do you want to play with your friends or challenge yourself with achievements? By all means, buy this. You may be one of the lucky few who can't see the problem with this eyesore.

It's Metal Slug. It's awesome. As others have mentioned there are some slowdowns when a lot is happening and Metal Slug deserves better than that. But it's still Metal Slug. Now if only they'd bring over all of them. An anthology would be nice.
It's really short but at the same time really fun - I'll probably be playing this again if I need a quick time killer
It suffers from difficulty as it's an arcade port, so it was designed to suck as much money as possible but thankfully you get infinite credits here to numb the pain a bit (you can still put limits on the credits if you want, though)
The arcade game from nostalgia.
I couldnt bare playing that much because the game feels really bad and slow. The emulator used here is inferior to other alternatives by the community, so you have much better options to play Metal Slug out there than this. Really hope in the future this is looked onto, but I doubt it since this release is from 2015 and apparently its been pretty much like this since launch.
Real shame, cause I got really good things to say about Metal Slug itself, but I dont think this port should be your way into this franchise. Look elsewhere.
this is a must, classic run and gun game, great animations, amazing good looking pixel art, akira toriyama did the vehicles design, the music and sound fx are also good, the characters are iconic and well design, simple mechanics, run, jump and shoot, lot of power ups, lot of fun, the game its short, can be beat in less than an hour, it has achievements, the emulation is better on retro arch, but this is not bad, also the game got leaderboards and steam cards.
game of my childhood...I recommend...if someone can add me for multiplayer, I want to win 100% :D
Great nostalgic arcade run and gun with beautiful pixel art.
It's very short, you can blast through the game's six levels in about 40 minutes but it's so much fun it deserves to be played through multiple times.
I don't think it's as difficult as later games in the series as the first 3-4 levels are pretty easy but the last 2 levels are complete chaos. I think the difficulty is mostly fair though for an arcade game which is designed to kill you.
It isn't a great port though as there is slowdown and the background music overlaps itself at points so it just sounds like noise but for the dollar it will cost you in the next sale it's definitely worth it.
A fun classic game. Played this for the first time on PS1 ages ago when I was a kid.
Unfortunately this version of the game is laggy & has a lot of framedrops (maybe because the game itself is old) but still fun to play
This game would have cost my wife and I 46 arcade tokens to finish it.
I gave this game a positive review due to its timeless fun and challenging gameplay. However, the PC port leaves much to be desired. The user interface feels cheaply designed, and frequent FPS drops significantly disrupt the experience, ruining my overall experience. These issues undermine what could have been a smoother, more enjoyable experience on this platform.
METAL SLUG

//fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on

Personal Suggested Purchase Price: $0.99 Or Less During Sale
Very short,nostalgic game a bit hard,this game brings me back to my childhood and I think it's worth every cent if you played ever any of the Metal Slug games but if u never played give it a try because its worth and its fun!
Remember the time when game only
need gun, grenade & 40 mins of fun?
Advice for any future game developer,
Instead of forcing wokeness in gaming,
Be like Metal Slug, a simple FUN game!
An excellent commentary on American imperialism, their military and their crimes against mankind.
Shit controls.
Very cool!
I always wanted to know when I was a kid, how many coins I would need to buy to finish this game...
Now I know...
I would never have guessed...
