Metal Slug 3 ROM Description

In 2000, SNK launched Metal Slug 3, an exciting run-and-gun video game, for the Neo-Geo MVS arcade platform. Soundtracked by a thrilling original score by Noise Factory, Metal Slug 2/2X is an exhilarating sequel. Due to the game’s success, it has been ported to various systems. These include the PlayStation 2, Xbox, Microsoft Windows, iOS, Android, Wii, PSP, PS3, PSP Vita, PS4, PS Vita, and Nintendo Switch.

New weaponry, vehicles, and branching pathways are introduced to the series, expanding on the gameplay of the first two Metal Slug games. Player and critical reception to the game has been overwhelmingly good.

Gameplay Featuring Constant Firefights

Metal Slug 3 challenges players to take on more difficult bosses while blasting through waves of foes. Players can improve their offensive and defensive prowess by equipping new weapons and “Metal Slug” tanks they find along the way.

Melee attacks, such stabbing or kicking, are also available, and scenery can be destroyed to expose secret areas or bonus goodies. Players can win random goods and weaponry as rewards for rescuing prisoners of war (POWs) spread throughout each level. The player receives a bonus to their final score based on the number of POWs they successfully liberated.

Metal Slug 3’s branching route system provides players with many options throughout most missions and is a notable addition. Each route has its own challenges and rewards, but ultimately they all lead to the same boss fight with varied weapons and the possibility to free POWs.

Plot: A Conflict Against Ungood Forces

The Peregrine Falcon Strike Force has been fighting General Morden’s supporters long after being defeated for his role in an attempted global takeover. Due to the enemy’s well-organized actions, Major Marco Rossi and Captain Tarma Roving are worried that Morden is still alive.

Sgt. Eri Kasamoto and Sgt. 1st Class Fiolina Germi, both of the Intelligence Agency’s Special Ops Squad S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S., uncover peculiar happenings that lead to the reappearance of the aliens that formerly partnered with Morden. Once again working together, the Peregrine Falcon Strike Force and S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. confront Morden, who is an extraterrestrial in disguise. Aliens have captured the real Morden and are holding him hostage.

In the plot, the player’s character gets kidnapped by aliens, and a replacement is introduced. An odd alliance is formed between the Strike Force and Morden’s forces to rescue their fellow soldiers who the alien leader, Rootmars, has taken.

Conclusion

Metal Slug 3 is the ultimate run-and-gun experience for fans of the genre. You’ll be entertained for hours as you fight through swarms of opponents and mighty monsters thanks to the game’s interesting gameplay, branching routes, and exciting narrative. So get geared up, for it’s time to take on the bad guys in this time-honored gaming classic!
