    The graphics of the game are generally considered good, successfully mimicking the iconic Metal Slug artwork, though they lack fluidity in character movements. While the visuals stand out as a positive aspect, the overall execution falls short of expectations, particularly for older players. The stylized graphics and varied enemy attacks add some appeal, but the game may primarily attract a younger audience.

    • “The graphics are stylized, and the enemies have different variations of attacks.”
    • “I thought, what could possibly go wrong with those graphics and the price of 21 cents? I am not generally against using a mobile game formula on a gem like Metal Slug.”
    • “Of the pros, I can only single out the graphics; the rest is not interesting and straightforward. The game itself is built on shooting and leveling up skills. Do not buy the game if you are not 10-12 years old.”
