Highly Recommended. 10/10* The art style is amazing, gorgeous pixel art, awesome character design, the music is fantastic, the controls and game mechanics are simple but top notch, the animations are incredible even for random npcs, lot of easter eggs, lot of hidden stuff. I though that this was the same as metal slug 1 but better, but no, accordingly to wikipedia its metal slug 2 but using metal slug 3 engine. Still, for me, this has to be the best metal slug of all. Has easy to get achievements, can be completed in a few hours in 1 or 2 runs(depends of your skills), and also has steam cards.

A classic. If you grew up in the good era, you know it's good. Too bad this is the only Metal Slug that has online coop on Steam.

Kind of feels like a modded version of Metal Slug 2. I'm not sure which version I prefer. Still recommended, but would've been nice if they were in one package.

Well it's Metal Slug, you run around and shoot stuff and it's pretty fun. Grab a friend and you'll have a solid hour of entertainment. I will say that there were some performance issues in certain levels, when there is a lot happening on the screen.
