METAL SLUG 5 ACA NEOGEO v1.1.1

NEOGEO’s acclaimed METAL SLUG series first burst onto the scene in 1996, revolutionizing the genre with detailed sprites, fluid animations and non-stop run-and-gun action. Now, decades later, SNK is preserving the legacy of METAL SLUG by bringing this classic to modern platforms. The latest game to get a new lease of life was 2003’s METAL SLUG 5, now available on mobile devices in the ACA NEOGEO series. This entry retains the addictive gameplay that made METAL SLUG a hit, while introducing some exciting new elements that demonstrate why it remains one of gaming’s most beloved franchises.

METAL SLUG’s addictive gameplay has always been its biggest selling point. Players take control of commandos Marco, Tarma, Eri or Fio as they fight their way through enemy-filled levels. Running, jumping and shooting feel tight and responsive. Detailed pixel animation makes every bullet, explosion and killed enemy a sight to behold. METAL SLUG 5 expands on this proven formula by introducing the Slug Gunner, a new mechanical transformable suit. Once in the Slug Gunner, players will be able to unleash extra strikes with its dual volcano cannons and rocket launcher. This is a great new tool to add to your arsenal.

Besides its great gameplay, METAL SLUG’s personality and presentation helped cement its legacy. Hand-drawn artwork is full of color and detail and looks fantastic even decades later. Battles against mummies, aliens, and other strange enemies keep the action fresh and whimsical. METAL SLUG 5 takes place through locations such as mysterious ancient ruins and a final battle with a massive alien mothership. The retro soundtrack, effects and voice samples are also full of arcade charm. This is a game that pleases the senses in every way.
