Eu já perdi as contas de quantas vezes eu joguei isso nas festas de aniversários kkkkkkk sempre joguei com um povo aleatório que só conhecia nesse dia e nunca mais via. Finalmente pude zerar essa maravilha com meu primo em Junho de 2023 na festa de aniversário de um priminho meu (e sobrinho desse primo). Jogão apenas, a gameplay é muito fluida e divertida, atirar é gostoso demais.

Terem adicionado mais personagens jogaveis foi otimo e terem tornado os aliens os inimigos principais foi uma jogada louca mas incrivel por parte da snk, dá-me uma nostalgia gigante, simplesmente fantástico

FUCK WATER SLIDES I WOULD PLAY THIS GAME


What a fantastic final mission! In general Metal Slug X is the best part. But this final mission...OMG! So creative, so dynamic, so crazy! How much I've enjoyed it!
And it was cool to see some references on films and games, like A Space Odyssey, Alien, Space Invaders.
An incredible end of Nazca's Metal Slug trilogy!

The best of all time. SNK, I kneel

Okay I change my mind, this is the best one.

El mejor de todos. El peak de la formula en todo sentido. Con caminos alternatios en cada mision, animaciones maravillosamente fluidas, jefes super divertidos y desafiantes y una variedad de enemigos enorme. Simplemente hermoso.

El mejor Metal Slug de la saga.

So lemme get the obvious stuff out of the way: It looks and sounds fantastic! Peak arcade-era SNK. the run and gun gameplay is also very pick-up-and-play, easy to jump into it.

To be honest, I found it very comfy to play with a friend using infinite credits. I have no illusion of being "good" at the game.

But it made me happy just casually going through all the levels and cutscenes, chatting with my friend and enjoying the crazy setpieces, or goofy details like being able to become mummies. Surprisingly fun game to hangout in and chill LOL.

(I played this on Metal slug Anthology on a PS2 emulator)
Metal slug 3 is the fourth instalment in the Metal slug series, although it doesn’t differ much from the rest. Originally an arcade game that was later ported to a variety of platforms. It’s a 2D shooter/platformer, the most remarkable part of which is its artstyle. If you want to play one Metal slug, I would recommend this one, as it has the most spectacle and makes elaborate use of its fantastical elements.
Story
There is an overarching storyline in this series, but since it not in the game, I won't mention it. Only at the last level (which is like half of the game) is there a narrative and a reason for your actions other than “it’s a game”. I would say that ending left me satisfied, at least more so than the other Metal slug games.
Gameplay and mechanics
The controls are fairly simple since it is an arcade game. Movements are left or right, and you can jump or crouch. I don’t know if it’s just the emulator, but there seems to be a bit of delay. There is no free aim, as such you can only shoot in the 2 axes. Your starter pistol never runs out of ammo, but it doesn’t do much damage, especially when compared to the special weapons, that can dispatch even tougher foes with ease. Grenades are another part of your arsenal with limited usage and plenty of damage, but they do reset when you respawn. The most powerful tool you have at your disposal are the various vehicles you will come across. Survival is a key part of their effectiveness, as they can take multiple hits without dying, unlike the player character who dies to anything in one hit. After you die three time, you are given two choices – respawn at the place you died or restart the WHOLE GAME. Obviously, this was done to suck as much money as possible, back at the arcade. Nowadays, it sucks the fun out of the game. You will end up endlessly respawning and never actually get better. Compared to the previous instalment, it's mechanically the same, the only new things are more vehicles and special weapons.
Graphics and artstyle
Metal slug has always had amazing art, this is no exception. Everything is incredibly over the top and over detailed, however it always manages to convey whatever it desires without it being confusing. The fantasy or sci-fi (I am not sure) is in full force, with everything from ancient desert temples to alien spaceships.
Soundtrack and sound effects
Even with the technology of the time, the sound effects are pretty good. The constant sound of gunfire, enemies dying and something exploding never gets annoying. You have probably heard the sound for when you pick up a special weapon, even if you’ve never played a Metal slug game. The same goes for the soundtrack. It fits quite well into the game, even if it has a few parts that are similar to the ost’s of the previous instalments. The favourite part is “The midnight wandering”.
Final Thoughts
SEE YOU IN HELL!!!

While a relatively short game by today’s standards, this is a fun and weirdly wonderful arcade experience that makes a pretty decent transition to the home screen. There are some crazy hard trophies to get, plenty of extra paths to discover (which lead to new areas and enemies) and the game experience is overall really fun and satisfying to go back to for just a few minutes at a time. The Save/Load feature, which essentially dumbs down the hardcore difficulty dramatically, is a great way to let more casual players get the chance at having some fun. Drop-in/out co-op is a HUGE plus, as is online co-op too. While it might be a short experience, it’s a high-quality title that has aged pretty darn well. I know SNK has re-released it on basically every platform ever made, but it’s worth talking about a game that’s so fun, so weird, and so satisfying – even 15 years later.

Full Review: https://neoncloudff.wordpress.com/2015/05/02/metal-slug-3-review-15-years-late-to-the-party/

Uma fenomenal sequência que eleva ainda mais tudo antes visto na franquia, com a mais pura e frenética aventura contra monstros alienígenas dos mais diversos tipos e formas, com fases ainda mais inventivas, armas, veículos, cenários, caminhos alternativos... É o tipo de coisa que você joga gritando e com as veias estourando de pura adrenalina, é Metal Slug se afundando completamente na mais pura insanidade e com uma maestria audiovisual sem igual

(Apesar que a dificuldade aumentou estupidamente também hehe)

SNK shit the bed with this one ngl

El mejor de los 3 primeros juegos, no hay discusión.

PD: Espero poder rejugarlo en sus distintas rutas.

provavelmente o favorito de todos, não tenho do que reclamar. CARA A SOUNDTRACK MIDNIGHT WANDERING É TUDO NÉ?????

Esse jogo é legal, mas devia ser frustrante jogar em fliperama

The pinnacle of the Series and maybe the Neo-Geo as a System (with the last blade 2 and Garou MotW). The game is so good that it was released as standalone game in the PS2, although you can beat it in less than an hour, but who even cares?

i like it when you turn into a zombie and have the best grenade in the game

Aqui o jogo começa a ficar zica,não tem nenhum travamento,é bem divertido,bem apelão e é uma ótima versão,parabéns SNK

minha infancia! adorava jogar com meus parentes.

The real summit of the series: constantly ups the ante until it reaches dizzying heights of Ancient Aliens mysticism and world-spiritual crisis. Unfortunately it's a bit too much for one sitting! That final stage is brutal, and long. Like half-the-whole-game long.

The best Metal Slug. Insane sprites, fantastic gameplay and quite possibly the most insane final level in video game history.


Remember this one for the weird visuals, like the aliens, monster designs (crabs, eels, yetis ), and especially the final boss! Very memorable for that

This review contains spoilers

- The classic one
- The one played on the PlayStation 2 demo disc infinite times
- Will always be the most nostalgic to me

The best Metal Slug of all. It has an incredible variety of enemies with fantastic designs, they added several routes you can take in the missions, giving the game replay value, and the final mission is amazing, a bit long but incredible.
