Metal Slug: Super Vehicle-001 is a fast-paced, side-scrolling run-and-gun shooter known for its explosive action, hand-drawn 2D sprites, and over-the-top military-themed gameplay. Players control elite soldiers—Marco Rossi and Tarma Roving—battling against the evil General Morden’s rebel forces. The game features intense gunfights, vehicle combat (notably the titular "Metal Slug" tank), creative level design, comedic enemy animations, and memorable boss fights. It supports two-player co-op and is renowned for its charm, challenge, and fluid animations.
Built for quick action and coin-operated arcade cabinets, focusing on score, reflexes, and fast-paced levels.
