An immersive, fun, and challenging action-packed arcade game, METAL SLUG X for Android.

Embark on an Explosive Adventure

METAL SLUG X is a reimagined and enhanced version of the iconic 1999 arcade game, METAL SLUG 2. This game promises an exhilarating and highly challenging experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat. If you dismiss it on account of its age, you will miss out on an action-packed adventure that is both exciting and extremely challenging.

Brace for Action: Survival is Key

METAL SLUG X, like its predecessor, METAL SLUG 2, raised the standard for shoot 'em up games, a standard only exceeded by their own sequels. The game requires you to move from left to right, battling a relentless onslaught of enemies. Despite its straightforward premise, METAL SLUG X continually keeps you on your toes. One moment you're in a jet plane, decimating a moving train, and the next you're scaling a tower, evading a giant robot monster.

The game's dynamism isn't limited to its action sequences - consume too much fruit and your character balloons into a deadly, obese hero; find a vehicle and your gameplay experience transforms drastically; and be prepared to confront gargantuan final bosses that are both a challenge and a visual delight.

Master the Game, Conquer The Challenge

METAL SLUG X is no walk in the park. Expect to perish numerous times as relentless enemies bombard you. However, the game is aware of its own difficulty level and offers infinite continues, though at a cost - it keeps a tally of your defeats. Once you've mastered the game, you might be able to breeze through it. But don't be fooled, the game continues to surprise with additional modes, such as the Combat School Mode, which provides new objectives in familiar levels.

Immersive Visuals and Precise Controls

Despite its origin in 1999, METAL SLUG X remains an aesthetic marvel. The game is rich in detail, with carefully crafted movements for primary, secondary and even tertiary characters, especially the final bosses. The cartoon-like style adds a layer of humor - enemies will laugh at your defeat, but will shriek in fear upon your revival.

The controls in METAL SLUG X are straightforward and accurate. You'll quickly learn to shoot in all directions, operate vehicles, and jump. Any mistakes made are solely on you, adding to the game's challenge.

An Unmissable Classic

METAL SLUG X stands as a benchmark in its genre. It is an absolute must-play for fans of shoot 'em up games, offering action, diversity, insanity, and epic final bosses. Even if you're new to the genre, don't let the difficulty deter you - take on the challenge and experience the thrill in style.
