Pros
Pro Co-op campaign for up to 6 players
KF2 boasts a rare co-op experience with up to 6 players, which is not the norm for most games, making it a unique experience.
Pro Visceral combat
The MEAT (Massive Evisceration And Trauma) system designates 22 different contact points on each enemy that will react realistically to players’ attacks – for example, you can cut enemies in half vertically and horizontally, dismember them at the hand or shoulder, even shoot off their lower jaw without removing the head entirely. This level of realism – and ultraviolence – makes the combat incredibly impactful.
Pro Cool time manipulation mechanic
Whenever a player makes a long-range headshot, messy bomb kills, or any other skillful takedown of zeds (the game's zombie-like creatures) it puts every player into 'zed time." This slow downs time, turning everything black and white, except for gunfire, explosions and blood, all beautifully rendered. Not only does it make you feel powerful, but also serves as positive reinforcement, since going into "zed time" means you or your team is doing well.
Pro Epitome of sidescrolling, run-and-gun action
Metal Slug X is not only a classic side-scroller, but also one of the best balanced and most fun. Many have tried to emulate the success of this title – and some may have come close – but there is nothing like the original.
Pro New features not present in Metal Slug 2
Metal Slug X is a remake of Metal Slug 2, but it does have some added features that include new animations, weapons, and enemies.
Pro 2 player local and online co-op
Metal Slug X has 2 player local and online co-op.
Cons
Con Currently no listen server function
It can be a pain to set up a private multiplayer game due to the omission of listen server functionality. Dedicated server support is available but not well documented; it can be daunting and time consuming to set up for new users or those who are not technically inclined.
Con Game engine at 30 FPS
Although 60 frames are rendered per second, the game only updates 30 of them.
Con Poor performance
Metal Slug X suffers from poor performance and may freeze intermittently.
