User Reviews

Reviews mostly praise the game for its nostalgic, faithful Metal Slug experience and engaging core gameplay. However, the port is plagued by control problems—both touch controls (non-adjustable, screen-coverage, joystick issues) and weak controller support (incompatibilities, non-mappable buttons, grenade inputs). Stability glitches (crashes, reset glitches) further detract from playability. Some fans remain hopeful and express interest in future Metal Slug mobile titles, but overall the experience hinges on significant improvements to controls and compatibility.

Pros

Nostalgic, faithful Metal Slug gameplay that fans love.
Engaging and enjoyable core gameplay; many reviewers describe it as great or even a masterpiece.
Strong nostalgia appeal and interest in purchasing more Metal Slug titles on mobile (MS6/MS7) for fans.

Cons

On-screen touch controls are poorly implemented and not adjustable; the joystick can be oversized or unresponsive and can cover parts of the screen.
Controller support is buggy or missing; users report incompatibility with Xbox/MFi controllers, inability to map buttons, and grenades not working with controllers.
Stability and glitch issues persist (crashes, unresponsive controls, joystick size resets after reset), severely impacting playability.
Perceived poor value for money due to port quality and ongoing control/compatibility issues.

Recent reviews

Although the mobile versions of the Metal Slug games are much weaker than their other counterparts, it’s still Metal Slug! I remember beating this game and I had a blast! Although the game lags sometimes, it really doesn’t affect the gameplay the gameplay, can’t wait to play the other games!
