Thank goodness, you can play with unlimited credits!! I never got to beat the original arcade game when I was little! Now, thanks to this version, you can beat the whole game in about an hour without spending a single extra coin! And that's pretty dope, if you asked me!!

Very short,nostalgic game a bit hard,this game brings me back to my childhood and I think it's worth every cent if you played ever any of the Metal Slug games but if u never played give it a try because its worth and its fun!

Damn it feels like going back at being a little kid playing this game the first time.
Great and fun arcade game.
Art sprites and animations are gorgeous.
Not a great port tho. Slowdown problem and SFX/BGM overlapping in many places, but still I really love the game.
Oh yeah the campaign is only 30 - 40 mins long.

Run, gun, explode, repeat! Simple, brutal, and ridiculously fun. The pixel art is gorgeous, the sound is iconic, and the gameplay is pure, unadulterated awesome. A perfect blast from the past.

Just as fun as when I was 7 and playing it on arcade required coins, but now you can actually finish the game without needing to pay for your mistakes with actual money. Having said that, if you struggled as a kid to finish it because mom gave you just 3 coins, now, having infinite credits you'll notice it's quite short, just difficult enough to ask for more coins every 40 seconds

Great nostalgic arcade run and gun with beautiful pixel art.
It's very short, you can blast through the game's six levels in about 40 minutes but it's so much fun it deserves to be played through multiple times.
I don't think it's as difficult as later games in the series as the first 3-4 levels are pretty easy but the last 2 levels are complete chaos. I think the difficulty is mostly fair though for an arcade game which is designed to kill you.
It isn't a great port though as there is slowdown and the background music overlaps itself at points so it just sounds like noise but for the dollar it will cost you in the next sale it's definitely worth it.
