Metal Slug 3 is one of those classic arcade shooters that just feels right—chaotic, over-the-top, and packed with ridiculous weapons. You start off blasting through enemy soldiers, then suddenly you're hijacking a tank or turning into a zombie mid-mission. The pixel art still holds up, especially when everything explodes at once.

It’s got that perfect balance of being easy to pick up but tough to master—one wrong move and you’re swarmed. And the bosses? Huge, screen-filling monstrosities that take way too many bullets to bring down. If you’ve ever wanted to mow down an army with a machine gun while riding a camel, this is your game.
