Metal Slug X is a run-and-gun arcade game and an updated re-release of Metal Slug 2, with different stages, vehicles, and enemies. The most noticeable difference is there is less lag slowdown thanks to the improved arcade hardware, which may make the game somewhat more difficult for those that are used to the slowdown. Like with Metal Slug 2, Eri and Fio have joined the main team to stop General Morden in his plans to collaborate with the Martians and take over the world.
