Summary
Metal Slug XX is the latest installment in the long-established series of side-scrolling shoot 'em ups. It serves as a refined edition of Metal Slug 7. The Peregrine Falcons—Marco, Eri, Clark, Tarma, Fio, and Ralf—once again take to the battlefield in vibrantly illustrated stages, tossing grenades, piloting vehicles, and slicing through enemies with their signature flair.
Metal Slug XX offers a range of single-player options, including a Combat School that allows players to revisit past missions with new objectives; a POW List that tracks the number of rescued POWs per level; and a system for single-player rankings. The game also supports cooperative play in Ad-Hoc mode, enabling players to team up and blast through hordes of comically over-the-top enemies using classic weapons across seven unique stages. The action takes our heroes through deserts, mountains, caves, and lava fields in their quest to finally defeat their arch-nemesis.
This updated release adds new content such as co-op multiplayer and downloadable extras, along with the introduction of the character Leona Heidern.
