Metal Slug XX is an entry in the long-running series of side-scrolling shooters. It is a revised version of Metal Slug 7. The Peregrine Falcons, Marco, Eri, Clark, Tarma, Fio and Ralf, are once again running-and-gunning in colorfully hand-drawn levels, throwing grenades, driving vehicles and slashing enemies. Metal Slug XX includes various single-player features in the form of a Combat School that lets players return to previously completed missions while executing various objectives; a POW List that shows how many POWs were rescued in each level; and single-player Rankings. Players can also cooperate in Ad-Hoc while gunning down hordes of humorous foes using familiar weapons in seven distinct levels that will see our heroes traverse deserts, mountains, caves and lava pits to finally put an end to their longtime enemy. This revised version includes additional content including co-op multiplayer and downloadable content, as well as the character Leona Heidern. Read less

Review Krauzer 4/5 · Oct 13, 2025

This title is an enhanced port of Metal Slug 7 originally made for the Nintendo DS. It refines the classic run-and-gun gameplay with smoother visuals, sharper sprites, and an overall better presentation suited to the PSP’s widescreen display.

This title is an enhanced port of Metal Slug 7 originally made for the Nintendo DS. It refines the classic run-and-gun gameplay with smoother visuals, sharper sprites, and an overall better presentation suited to the PSP’s widescreen display. The game stays true to the franchise’s fast-paced, chaotic shooting action filled with explosions, vehicles, and the series’ trademark humor.

The addition of local co-op play via ad hoc mode gives Metal Slug XX a big boost in fun, allowing two people to tackle missions together. The Combat School mode also adds replay value by offering dozens of bite-sized challenges that test your skills beyond the main seven stages. Leona from The King of Fighters is available as a playable character, expanding the roster and adding a bit of freshness for long-time fans.

However, the game doesn’t bring much innovation to the formula. The campaign is short, and some levels feel overly punishing due to enemy spam and limited continues, which can frustrate newcomers. But if you are a fan of the frachise, or this is not your first title, then it won't be a big issue, though I admit that this is not a walk in the park, and it feels a bit harder than other games of the same franchise.

While the visuals look great, the PSP’s small screen can make the action hard to follow when things get too hectic. Overall, this game is a solid handheld entry that captures the essence of the series, intense, stylish, and challenging. It’s best enjoyed by fans who appreciate old-school arcade gameplay and don’t mind a bit of repetition, but it may not impress people looking for something new.

Fantastic game, I don't have many complaints about the gameplay, the only thing I hated a little was the final boss which was a real pain to defeat. enter image description here

While reviewing Metal Slug Anthology, I realized I actually had the seventh (and currently final) entry in the main series on Vita thanks to my PlayStation Plus subscription.

This is a terrific entry. There are a lot more modes and difficulty levels to choose from (since this was never an arcade release), which makes it ever so slightly more approachable than past entries. There’s also an incredibly cathartic second-to-last boss battle that’s really a standout for me.
