How 2 play with ur frens (WORKING 2069):
- do NOT use Steam's built in invite cause it will crash Player 2's game
- Have the host make a lobby
- Find it in the server list
- Join
- DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, TOUCH THE KEYBOARD AS THE HOST. LET PLAYER 2 PICK THEIR CHARACTER FIRST. OTHERWISE IT WILL CRASH PLAYER 2'S GAME.
With that out of the way, this is unaceptable and the constant freezes kinda suck the fun out of this classic.

More often than not, game sequels tend to be straight upgrades. Metal Slug X follows this trend - in terms of controls and the things you're doing, Metal Slug X is identical to the first – that means a lot of shooting, a lot of different vehicles, and many one-hit kills. This game shines in one key area which ends up making it a lot more fun than the first – variety.
One world will see you turning into a mummy as you navigate a desert, the next will have you climbing across train cars that are being destroyed by helicopters and the like. Each second you're constantly guessing what will happen next as the game keeps trying to one up itself with new ideas. Some of the ideas are changes to the original Metal Slug 2, such as the time of day changing or enemy placement, while other things are more noticeable.
For instance, in one stage of the original, you can gorge on food so much your character gains weight and becomes less manoeuvrable. It's a fun moment, but in Metal Slug X, it can happen in almost every stage, and doing so actually changes how your gun fires, no matter what variant, so there's actually a trade-off to the transformation now.
One of the things that thankfully have not been touched are the bosses, which are by far my favourite part of the game. The increased enemy variety leads to much more creatively designed fights – and a lot of them are a big enough target that the focus is less on finely aiming shots and moreso dodging the hailstorm of bullets coming your way, making it feel incredible to ace them.
Metal Slug X feels like an action movie turned arcade game – and I had a blast with it. You really can't go wrong with it.
