Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.86/day in the week to Aug 13 → 6.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Authentic to the original. Even got all the same slowdowns lmao, but it was $1 .
Plays like ♥♥♥♥, buggy as hell. Don't buy, emulator then rom instead.
Relembrando quando joguei no play 2, muito bom

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 13: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Nostalgia pura
"La obra maestra del Run and Gun que nunca pasa de moda" Hay juegos que envejecen bien, y luego está Metal Slug. Este port para Steam es la oportunidad perfecta para revivir (o descubrir) el que probablemente sea el juego de acción arcade en 2D más influyente e imitable de la historia de los videojuegos. Pixel-art insuperable: Visualmente es una auténtica delicia. El nivel de detalle de las animaciones dibujadas a mano es enfermizo. Las expresiones de los soldados enemigos al verte aparecer, cómo se destruyen los escenarios pieza a pieza y el imponente diseño de los jefes finales son historia viva del medio .Acción frenética y adictiva: La jugabilidad es directa, pulida y sin rodeos. Disparar a todo lo que se mueve, rescatar prisioneros barbudos para conseguir armas devastadoras (¡Heavy Machine Gun!) y subirte al icónico tanque SV-001 para arrasar con las líneas enemigas se siente tan satisfactorio hoy como en 1996. Diversión en cooperativo: Es el juego perfecto para disfrutar en compañía. Compartir pantalla con un amigo en el modo cooperativo local mientras las balas y las explosiones inundan la pantalla es una de las mejores experiencias que puedes tener en PC. Banda sonora mítica: La música militarizada y, sobre todo, esa mítica voz en off del juego que grita el nombre de las armas se te quedan grabadas en la cabeza para siempre. Conclusión: Un clásico atemporal con mayúsculas. Da igual los años que pasen o lo mucho que avance la tecnología; la fórmula de Metal Slug es perfecta. Si buscas acción arcade pura, divertida, desafiante y con un apartado artístico legendario, este juego tiene que estar sí o sí en tu biblioteca de Steam. ¡A las armas!
¿Te acordás cuando ibas a los fichines del barrio con dos monedas mugrientas que le habías mangueado a tu vieja, elegías a Marco o a Tarma y te sentías Rambo, hasta que un soldado de pixel art te tiraba una granada en la jeta a los 40 segundos? Bueno, esa misma experiencia de frustración hermosa y nostalgia pura ahora está en tu biblioteca de Steam. Lo bueno, lo malo y el tanque: El arte y las animaciones: Envejeció mejor que cualquier juego 3D de los 2000. La cantidad de detalles absurdos que dibujó SNK a mano es una locura: soldados cocinando en medio de la guerra, enemigos que entran en pánico si te acercás, y jefes que ocupan toda la pantalla y explotan en mil pedazos. El locutor: Si no gritás "HEAVY MACHINE GUN!" al unísono con el juego, fallaste como gamer. El Metal Slug (el tanque): Subirte al tanquecito saltarín, spamear el cañón y apretar el botón de autodestrucción en el último segundo para sacrificarlo heroicamente sigue siendo cine puro. Créditos infinitos: En Steam no tenés que pedirle plata a nadie. Te morís 80 veces en un nivel, apretás un botón para meter otra ficha virtual y seguís disparando como si nada hubiera pasado. El port de Steam: Cumple con lo justo y necesario. No esperes un remaster con gráficos 4K ultra hiper realistas (ni falta que le hace), pero corre fluido, tiene soporte para joystick al toque y podés tirar coop local o remoto para arruinar amistades puteando porque tu compañero te robó la escopeta. Veredicto: Es corto, es caótico y es pura dopamina noventera. Compralo de una (y si está en oferta en pesos o centavos de dólar, ni lo pienses).
合金弹头和虐杀原形,这俩游戏的怀旧热度我一直觉得蛮奇怪的。它们在当年固然是很经典挺优秀的作品,但还真不是同时期热度和普及度最高的那一批,尤其是对国内玩家来说。但就是这俩在这几年的国内互联网上突然爆发怀旧潮,风头盖过所有同类型的经典作,就很奇怪。十几二十年前不管街机厅还是网吧,这俩都冷门里的冷门,网上也鲜有人讨论,我印象里网吧的版本也是纯英文的盗版,根本就没见人玩过,至少我呆过的几个省份的网吧都是。现在突然冒出这么多怀旧党,当然里面肯定有不少人是真童年回忆,真怀旧,但比例有多少呢,有多少人是网上看个游戏视频就突然多出了不存在的童年回忆
小时候街机厅的回忆,就是移植的不怎么样,子弹和敌人一多就太卡了
I don't recommend this version because the Steam version starts slowing down if there's too much happening on the screen which can lead to deaths and other unfortunate mayhem so emulation or a different port may provide a smoother playthrough. Metal Slug is the first entry in the classic side-scrolling shooter video game series. It originally launched in arcades before being ported to consoles. The Hayao Miyazaki inspired visuals and hand-drawn animations look great even 20 years after its debut. I played through the campaign twice. Once by myself and once with a friend. While I managed to finish the missions alone with infinite lives, it is a much better experience with a wingman. I would recommend this game to those looking for a quick and classic multiplayer experience.
