Metal Slug Unblocked Gameplay
The gameplay mechanics are the same as previous Metal Slug games. The new thing about Metal Slug Unblocked, however, is the branching path system. In the first four missions, there are forked paths for the player to choose from, each with their own obstacles, and varying in length and difficulty. All paths eventually lead to the same boss battle, but the player may have different equipment and may have rescued different amounts of hostages depending on their choices.
