Content breakdown
⚠️
Not recommended
Metal Slug 3 is a classic arcade shooter featuring intense gunfire, explosions, and combat violence, though presented in a cartoonish pixel-art style. It has no profanity, sexual content, or horror elements, but the strong action and challenging difficulty make it better suited for older children and teens rather than younger players.
