The one-hit kill is in effect, but the game allows for infinite continues, which makes things more bearable. Walk to the right, shoot enemies, and dodge bullets.
The mechanics of the game are simple, and anyone who's played a side-scrolling shooter from Contra on forward will find the controls to be instantly familiar. The hallmarks of the series, namely superdeformed military hardware, screen-filling bosses, and bizarre weaponry, are all present and accounted for in X. It features new enemies, new weapons, and more bosses. Metal Slug X is basically a beefed-up version of Metal Slug 2. And while SNK may have pulled out of the US market, Agetec has done us all a big favor and decided to release the PlayStation port of Metal Slug X stateside. But as NeoGeo owners and arcade junkies alike will tell you, the side-scrolling shooter is alive and kicking in the Metal Slug series. Since the popularization of polygonal graphics, the side-scrolling shooter has been deemed an antique, something to be looked upon with nostalgia.
