Topic: "Where's the fun in 'Metal Slug'?"

I have the first three ACA versions on Switch and can't see how this series is beloved by Gamers.

I don't enjoy one-shot kills that loses your weapon and any freed hostages.

The ONLY good thing I'll say about them is the sprites/graphics.

As I've bought them, I'll complete them, THANKFULLY due to UNLIMITED Credits/Continues but I can't see me ever replaying them.

The fantastic visuals?
Also kids don't understand score based games these days.

@glaemay I mentioned that.

@LeighDapa Well you edited it in after someone mentioned it rather than saying it in your intial post.

The fun is in playing the game and beating the game.

"My problem with this arcade game series is its too much like arcade games".

ok

😭These Games are 2Hard4Me...

Man what are you on? Metal Slug barely offers a challenge until the final two levels.
X is a bit harder.
3 definitely is over-long and has too many bullet-sponge enemies, and too many transformations that slow the pace down, by far my least favourite of the series.
