REALLY good

Although the mobile versions of the Metal Slug games are much weaker than their other counterparts, it’s still Metal Slug! I remember beating this game and I had a blast! Although the game lags sometimes, it really doesn’t affect the gameplay the gameplay, can’t wait to play the other games!

The second best game oat

The game helped create my childhood, right next to Minecraft.

Santa only I want for Christmas

Plz make an updated. Crashes a lot & can’t really throw grenades with controller support. The virtual screen joystick can be stagnant. I bought all the metal slugs. Great port. Hoping for super side kicks 2.

No Sound

No sound in app. and this is bad as it's written that it should work on this device.. I'll ask for the refund!

Pas fonctionnel

J’ai acheté le jeu, il n’a même pas de son, impossible de jouer en mode silencieux, je veux annuler l’achat !

It’s great

All the people complaining about the controls are having a skill issue. People complaining about the game not working haven’t updated their reviews because the games been updated numerous times for OS compatibility. Games great nuff said.

Literally one of the best games ever!!!🫡👏🙂‍↕️🤩(works great on the iPod touch 7th gen)

Bought metal slug one and love it !This is the best game that I’ve paid for the game doesn’t lag on the iPod touch 7th and the iPad ! Love it and can’t wait to purchase the rest! I will say that the game play is the same as I remembered playing it at the laundromat in Pomona when I was 6 ! This game is really great I highly recommend it but there are a few things I would like to suggest which are that the controls could be improved by allowing the player to change the size of each control individually because for some people like me I like to have a big joystick and small buttons but unfortunately not able to do that. The joystick should also be bigger (and would like it to also look like a classic joystick 🕹️ 🙏)because if you play this game for a couple of hours your fingers will get sweaty and can interfere with the gameplay. Other than that this game is really good hope you enjoy the game!😁👍

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

JOYSTICK DIGITAL HORRÍVEL

Devem melhorar os controles, o analógico onde controla os movimentos do personagem está muito pequeno. Quando está jogando ele para de se mover devido ao limite de ação.

Plz make an updated . Crashes a lot & can’t really use grenades with controller. Movement of the screen Joystick stagnant.

No grenade when using ps5 or Nintendo pro controllers

Good but why not support external controller. Just one more button for the boom!

Fermín

The game is good classic of metal slug I recommend guys

Nostalgia and please Joystick update

Please update the game and the controller, I would buy the metal slug pack.

It’s good but it’s missing a option to be 100%

I have loved this game since I first got a chance to play it and can’t believe it’s so easily available on iPhones but with controller support you can shoot, jump reload action but unless your playing without a controller there’s no option to throw your projectiles when you need to please fix it for all to fully enjoy this nostalgic classic game with controller support on all levels provided.

Great Game. Poor Controls!

Joystick toggles on/off, Gets stuck, and is unresponsive at times. Not worth the money. Wouldn’t even be worth playing if it was free.

Unlike the joystick

It will be great if it supports the control from the external keyboard

操作できない

公式が発表していはものとは思えないくらい操作性が悪い。
というか操作でくない

Great port - needs fixing

I’m glad to say that this is a great port of Metal Slug, great for long bus trips or train trips.

It is controller compatible (I have a backbone Xbox controller), which works fine except one major problem. There is no grenade button mapped to the controller.

Makes the game a huge challenge for me to play as I have to throw grenades at a standstill, which instantly kills any adrenaline you have.

Please fix this problem SNK.

Terrible in game controls

It is impossible to play the game without getting frustrated with the controls. Moving is very buggy, and shooting/jumping is also very hard. Save your money

Not optimised for mobile use!

Controls make it impossible to play this well. It clearly wasn’t tested by whoever tried to make this game compatible with mobile - because you basically cannot seamlessly move and jump / shoot at the same time
