SNK Playmore offering discounts on Metal Slug games in the Play Store

If there are any fans of classic run-and-gun games out there, this may be your lucky day. SNK Playmore, the developer behind the Metal Slug series, has discounted four of their most popular titles in Google Play today. The Metal Slug series has been around for quite some time, originally being offered as a Neo Geo title dating all the way back to 1996. Metal Slug games for Android are well-worth the original price tag of $2.99/piece, so now that a few are being offered for 67% off, you might want to take advantage of the sale. The games being offered at a discount are:

• METAL SLUG – $0.99
• METAL SLUG 2 – $0.99
• METAL SLUG 3 – $0.99
• METAL SLUG X – $0.99

Before you get to downloading, you should know that SNK Playmore has put a small disclaimer on all of these games, warning users that they may not work well on devices running Android 5.0 Lollipop. As for the Neo Geo ports to Android, the games run very well. But just like any game being ported from a console with a joystick, be prepared to use the dreaded virtual joystick on a touchscreen to navigate around. Luckily, these titles support Bluetooth gaming controllers, so we recommend playing with a physical controller if you have one available.

These titles are only being offered at a discounted price for a limited time, so head to the Play Store and start playing!
