The effort you put in is really worth it because unlocking more powerful firearms greatly affects the overall gaming experience and enjoyment.

How to play Metal Slug

Keep shooting at all times! The enemies are coming at you, usually from both sides of your screen, and it’s of the utmost importance to eliminate them as soon as possible. If you’re not fast enough on the trigger, you’ll soon get overrun, especially if you bring a knife to a gunfight.

The enemies will eventually drop better weapons than the one you’re carrying, so make sure to pick it up quickly. You can use these dropped guns until you’ve completed the current level.

There are 4 characters, each having uniquely distributed health, speed, and armor stats. You can carry up to 3 consumables to a single mission for temporary buffs when you desperately need them. If you’re struggling to complete a level, save up the coins to purchase a powerful military vehicle and cruise through it with ease.
