Bought it like most people, because it was a legendary run and gun series. However, I dont recommend it at all as its a very unsatisfying experience for someone who just wants to have fun.
The core issue here is that its entirely designed for arcades. Its meant for you to die often and for you to drop money.
The art design is very cool, but there is no story and the balance is absurd even on easy difficulty. You die from any hit and have 3 lives. After that you are supposed to insert money, but here you can just get another stack of 3 lives.
Not being able to drop through ledges to lower levels and instead going to the edge makes it even more grueling.
Theres not much fun here. If you dont want to memorize levels and practice then its too easy, since you have infinite lives. And if you dont want to use a continue and get all achievements its going to be slog until muscle memory gets it right.
I will give it props for having more variety than the previous game, but thats not nearly enough to compensate the game balance.
Unless youre here for so called historical value, nostalgia or you like grinding for the OCD, then you should avoid this.

JUST REPLAYED MY CHILDHOOD!
This just reminded me how much I love METAL SLUG X. I was playing MSX so mush on my PS1, I just loved it, and still do. The arts (concept, sketches, and etc.) you unlock by completing the game, the unforgettable OST. I still think METAL SLUG X is the best MS in the franchise. For the people who don't know: METAL SLUG X is a revised METAL SLUG 2, the game is the same, but with new features (like getting fat when eating too much lol), weapons, more secret shooting bonuses (where you shoot at random walls, and etc. and they drop rewards, gems, jewels, etc.). So, of course MSX is better than MS2, but I still enjoyed MS2, it is still the same game, in the end of the day.
