METAL SLUG

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

[h1]AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (He got poked by a stick)[/h1] [h2]The Good[/h2] [list] [*]Classic metal slug arcade, fast paced, just blast what's in front of you, dumb fun [*]Artstyle is iconic, designs of the giant mechanical war machines are still extremely cool [*]Game is chaotic with bullets and explosions everywhere, which is perfect themeing since you're literally in a warzone [*]Although you die in one hit (and constantly), game is really chill to playthrough, since you just have infinite continues, off the back of old arcade mechanics. If you're going for no deaths, can be quite satisfying to figure out strategies and enemy spawns [/list] [h2]The Bad[/h2] [list] [*]Extreme unavoidable frame drops at certain sections, just fragments of old gaming [*]Movement and aiming can feel quite limiting, like you can't aim diagonally (only with HMG and even then barely), and you don't really have much movement options to dodge bullets, especially in certain sections where enemy spawns and projectiles can feel BS [/list] [h2]The Random[/h2] [list] [*]*Accidentally ejects metal slug for the 37th time to deal 0 damage* [*]This game is so much shorter than I remembered, around 45 mins for a complete playthrough, not really surprised though for an arcade title [/list] [h2]Overall Thoughts[/h2] Fun arcade game, with shortcomings due to old game design and software. People who are looking to buy, are probs here for nostalgia just like me, and honestly for the price it's still worth it for a bit of dumb fun

The game is too damn hard, even on medium. True, you have infinite continues, but where's the fun in that? In the later missions, you genuinely can't tell what's going on on the screen, and keep dying over and over. I am quite disappointed
