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 2,400 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.

Слишком душно, что даже форточка не помогает. По геймплею мегазатянутая последняя миссия, крайне долгая, по ощущениям по продолжительности как предыдущие четыре миссии вместе взятые. И усугубляется это крайне фармильными накопительными достижениями, кто придумал 400 раз в игру играть (благо что на завершение игрой не проверяется) и особенно 1к заложников спасти (50 раз проходить первую миссию на которой 20 пленных). Если бы не обходные хинты по некоторым ачивам, жаль не всем, эту в целом непродолжительную игру на 40 минут заипёшься завершать на 100%.
"La cumbre absoluta de la saga y una obra maestra arcade" Si Metal Slug X pulió la fórmula, Metal Slug 3 la llevó al espacio exterior de la forma más literal y espectacular posible. Es el juego más masivo, épico y creativo de toda la saga de SNK, y este port en Steam mantiene intacta esa magia. Rutas alternativas y rejugabilidad brutal: Es la gran revolución de esta entrega. Cada misión (a excepción de la última) está llena de bifurcaciones reales. Puedes pasarte el juego tres veces seguidas y descubrir zonas, enemigos y mecánicas completamente diferentes en cada partida (cuevas de zombis, desiertos, profundidades marinas, etc.). Transformaciones y vehículos alocados: Al icónico estado de momia u obeso se le suma la genial transformación en Zombi, que te permite lanzar un devastador chorro de sangre como ataque especial. Además, el garaje de vehículos (Slugs) se dispara: pilotarás desde un elefante con ametralladoras hasta un taladro gigante o naves espaciales. Estabilidad y rendimiento sólido: El port en Steam funciona de maravilla. Al igual que el X, mantiene la velocidad arcade constante sin las ralentizaciones molestas de antaño y es una versión sumamente estable, libre de los molestos crasheos al escritorio para que disfrutes de la experiencia del tirón. Una misión final legendaria: El último nivel del juego es una de las mayores genialidades de la historia de los videojuegos. Es una batalla campal a gran escala, con giros de guion brutales y un cambio de jugabilidad que te dejará con la boca abierta la primera vez que lo juegues. Conclusión: El techo de SNK y el juego que cerró la época dorada de las recreativas en 2D. Es largo, desafiante, visualmente enfermizo por su nivel de detalle y extremadamente divertido en cooperativo. Si quieres experimentar el Run and Gun definitivo en su máxima expresión, Metal Slug 3 es una compra obligatoria en Steam.

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.

经典游戏，童年回忆
Esta bueno
非常好玩，很讚!
- 게임 자체는 메탈 슬러그 시리즈 최고점을 찍은 런앤건 장르의 명작으로 평가받는 물건이지만, 맨이터랑 맨이터 씨앗한테 당하는 데드신은 지금 보기에도 역해서 개인적인 앙심(?)으로 역따봉 드립니다.
