8 of 15I purchased the whole pack for about $8 and don’t regret it! The cool thing with the game is that you can change the graphics from original to filtered! Game play is the same as I remembered!Definitely a game worth purchasing! Also to the creator: I’m waiting for metal slug 6 and metal slug 7 please make these games available for our mobile devices and for the iPod touch 7 gen
The buttons are too small, my finger can’t fit. Please make the buttons bigger.
For people looking to buy this in 2025 the game lowkey runs great from any iPhone 12 and up I wouldn’t recommend playing with the touch pad I recommend playing with the controller through Bluetooth or backbone only issue is u can’t use grenades unless u touch the pad which isn’t a big issue that’s the only issue anything else or everything else runs smoothly I’ll say this for metal slug 1-3 and x all work this way I have yet to buy 4 and 5 but check it out soon to see if I left a review gonna buy it soon hope this helps
It’s almost perfect, but controller support doesn’t work correctly! Please update it! We need it!!!!!!!!!
Its a dope game as a 90s boy but everyone would love it if it had the features now games have. Pls
TheD pad needs fixed it’s too small
