Why Metal Slug 5 is a Return to Form
15Now THIS, is more like Metal Slug!
After the disappointing Metal Slug 4, SNK came back, called SNK Playmore at the time, to develop Metal Slkug 5 and boy, is it noticeable.
Everything feels great, and, the level of quality that the previous Metal Slug games returns proudly in 5.
While it still isn't quite as grand and refined like Metal Slug 2 and 3, it has enough that's new and does the classic elements well enough that it stands pretty high in a series ranking.
The classic characters are back, and it's a classic Metal Slug story again... in that it really doesn't matter. Go out and blast some bad guys.
The concepts for the boss fights are way more creative, and they're complimented by levels that feel right at home in the franchise, yet don't rely much on assets from previous games.
There's new enemy types with new sprites that look pretty good, and as usual, the animations are just sublime.
The entire Metal Slug franchise is loaded with some of the best pixel art and animations ever produced, and 5 is continuing that legacy very well.
