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 music|Heavy metal]] influenced soundtrack. |

==Differences from previous games== |
|||
⚫ | One year after the events of ''[[Metal Slug 4]]'', 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 specialty 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, who over time grows more powerful as they are joined by a mysterious masked man and his followers. At the end of the game, the Ptolemaic Army summons a giant demon as the final boss, which after a long battle is forced to leave Earth thanks to the heroes. |
||
*The player may now perform a slide-dash. |
|||
*"[[Obesity|Fat]] mode" is the only remaining modifier, there are no zombies, mummies, aliens or other supernatural creatures, although the final boss is a large demon. |
|||
*Morden's infantry, Morden himself and Allen O'Neil are nowhere to be found in this game; rather, one fights armies of veiled terrorists, special forces, and assorted mecha. As a result, this game lacks much of the sense of humor of its predecessors. However, most of the new enemies are mostly edits of Rebel soldier sprites. |
|||
*With the exception of the first and third levels, the game does not have branching paths. |
|||
*The "Flame Shot" has been omitted. According to the Debug level, the Flame Shot is present in the code. |
|||
*The medal system from Metal Slug 4 has been abandoned. |
|||
*Playable characters Trevor and Nadia have been omitted in favor of Eri and Tarma. |
|||
*There are cutscenes at various points throughout the game, rather than one or two at the end, giving the game a hint of progression of plot. |
|||
*A remixed version of "Final Attack" is played whilst facing the final boss. |
|||
*Depending on whether the Arcade machine has the "Blood" option turned on or off, not only the blood color will change from red to white, but the Ptolemaic Army's guerilla's T-shirt and bandanas will change from red to navy. |
|||
==New vehicles and Slugs== |
|||
Only three new vehicles were added, though the Metal Slug, Slug Mariner, and Slug Flyer make a return. |
|||
*The first new vehicle, the Slug Gunner, is the ultimate evolution of the Metal Slug and rebel Armor. The Gunner fires a machine gun, a chassis-mounted cannon, and can punch enemies with a close-combat exploding metal spike "cannon". The Gunner can perform a mid-air jump like that of the Level Armor. The Gunner can transform from a walker into a tank, and can move slightly faster in addition to running over [[infantry]]. However, the gunner is slow, takes a while to turn, and only has a 180-degree firing arc (360-degree while in the air). |
|||
*The second new vehicle is the Car Slug or the TIAF 660. This is a car with a 360-degree vulcan cannon attached. Its secondary fire is an oversized Enemy Chaser. Of particular interest is that the player cannot eject from the vehicle, meaning they die when its destroyed, and will subsequently respawn in a new Car Slug. |
|||
*The Augensterm is a giant squid-like walker with two legs tethered to the floor and to the ceiling; jumping raises or lowers the cockpit. The Augensterm is armed with 360-degree firing vulcan cannons, and a [[harpoon]] gun. |

In 2014, a fan-made remake of the game called ''Metal Slug 5 Elite'' was released on [[Gamejolt]] for [[Microsoft Windows]], created with the [[GameMaker: Studio|Game Maker Studio]]. Retaining the story and theme of the original game, the game has tweaked some gameplay features: |
