Metal Slug 5 (メタルスラッグ 5?) is a run and gunvideo game for the Neo-Geo console/arcade platform created by SNK Playmore. It was released in 2003 for the MVS arcade platform, is the fifth game in the Metal Slug series, and was one of the last games for the Neo Geo system. The game was developed by Noise Factory/SNK Playmore, after Korean company Mega Enterprise had directed Metal Slug 4. The biggest difference from previous titles is the addition of the slide move, which allows the player to evade and maneuver in a new fashion. Unlike its predecessor Metal Slug 4, which reused many of the backgrounds from the previous games, Metal Slug 5 incorporates a wealth of new environments and backgrounds and features a more Heavy metal influenced soundtrack.
A special disc that contains deep and intricate secrets about the
Metal Slug project is stolen by a mysterious group called the Ptolemaic
Army, whose speciality lies from within archaeological excavation and
espionage. Marco and Tarma of the Peregrine Falcon Strike Force follow
in hot pursuit against the group and in the process are joined by Eri
and Fio of SPARROWS. Together once more, the quartet investigate the
shrouded objective of the Ptolemaic Army.
