Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
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): 0.86/day in the week to Aug 13 → 6.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 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.

Хорошая олдовая пострелушка, приятно вспомнить во что играл на PS1. Удобный и адекватный порт, проходится буквально за 30-40 минут, а если играть в соло - то и еще быстрее. Был удивлен поддержке геймпада от PS5
Probably one of the most memorable run-and-gun shooters from the golden era of arcades. The game is chock-full of personality, with expressive animation and detail packed into nearly every character and object, giving it a distinct look and feel. Its fast-paced gameplay, chaotic action, and varied weapons still hold up today. Unfortunately, the emulation in this port is quite subpar, with the input lag being especially noticeable. It’s a 10/10 game being held hostage by a 0/10 emulator. The Hamster arcade ports on Xbox and PlayStation are far superior.

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 13: 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.

别买,你以为是情怀实际你是龟田。游戏没有左上右上射击设计,全图五个章节全靠复活往过刷。故事没有连贯性,谢幕比游戏时间都长要不是买的时间长了没法退钱我都想退钱了,垃圾游戏。还没有隐藏彩蛋
玩学习版没闪退过,正版倒是给我体验一回,真有你的SNK
коротенькая но хорошая
The game is too damn hard, even on medium. True, you have infinite continues, but where's the fun in that? In the later missions, you genuinely can't tell what's going on on the screen, and keep dying over and over. I am quite disappointed
Fun action packed old school arcade game. Everyone who's been gaming forever should know the Metal Slug series. One of the best side scrolling shoot em up games of all time. So definitely worth playing once in your life.
还是二代好玩点,一代没那么多花里胡哨的道具和角色
fun game, beautiful pixel art
手法生疏僵硬,无奈不停投币!😡
