Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.29/day in the week to Aug 13 → 3.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Reviews
Auch der dritte Teil ist ein großartiges Koop-Spiel. Die Slowdowns des Vorgängers sind bei mir verschwunden, wodurch sich das Spiel deutlich flüssiger anfühlt. Metal Slug 3 ist ein herrlich überdrehter Fiebertraum: Soldaten? Check. Aliens? Check. Zombies? Check. Pilze? Check. Shoot ’em up? Ebenfalls check. Ständig überrascht das Spiel mit neuen Gegnern, verrückten Situationen, Fahrzeugen und abwechslungsreichen Abschnitten. Der unverwechselbare Artstyle und die starken Soundeffekte überzeugen erneut. Ein wunderbar chaotischer Arcade-Klassiker, der sich immer weiter steigert und auch heute noch mehrere Solo oder Koop Durchläufe wert ist!

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 10: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

经典；还好能用xbox手柄玩，用键盘操作很难受；
lo pase y no vino el dargon al vc
Muiito legal, minha infância fez eu pensar que esse jogo era pelo menos o dobro mais longo, mas é bem curtinho. A arte é linda, e tem algumas opções legais de filtro pra deixar ainda melhor, como um filtro que simula televisões analógicas da época. Mas recomendo comprar em promoções
你妈的逼做的什么狗鸡巴联机
Sem duvida o mais divertido da triologia, dá para zerar enquanto dá uma cagada, e se estiver com diarreia tu zera duas vezes.
三代还是推荐的，集合了前两作的优点~ 1.配乐还是一如既往的不错~ 2.变身系统，可以变僵尸，变胖子，对应的攻击方式也有所变化，僵尸不能蹲走得慢，k键超强，变身还有过程展现，胖子的子弹比较大~ 3.营救人员不只是老头了，还有一些特殊npc，可以帮助战斗和拿成就的~ 4.关卡boss也是各有特点，区分度很高，不是一味的坦克大炮躲子弹了~ 5.关卡场景比较丰富，丛林、沙漠、冰川、水下，还有空战，甚至还有太空战~ 6.敌人的强度和丰富度得到很大加强，不再是一下一个的小兵，而且也不会无脑把玩家冲死，而是攻击才会有效果~ 7.载具更加丰富，对应也有不同的攻击方式和k键~ 8.水下、空战、太空战k键扔的不再是手榴弹，随场景变化，水下老头是紫色的，是憋气憋的么？补给是飘飘悠悠掉下来的，空战的补给是在空中来回弹，太空战还能像弹幕射击游戏那样加侧翼辅助攻击装置，细节和丰富度拉满~ 9.第四关打小日本好评，死了还有亡语，既疯狂又变态~ 10.补给如果不捡，过一会儿会消失，难度又涨了一些~ 11.情节上还有队友被抓住，挺有意思~ 12.有个小问题，就是感觉难度过高了，敌人太硬了，攻击方式千奇百怪，攻击频率也高，其实这样的设计不太符合街机游戏的基本玩法，可以当个短流程的清版吧~ 总体难度挺高，不过可以无限续币，丰富度高，值得一玩~
I mean… amazing pixel art and animation. Sound is very borked on Steam Deck, like bad emulation or something, but the visuals are super smooth, just changed some basic settings to get no filtering for those crisp pixels, and full-screen. Very smooth frame rate. That last mission, phew.
