The gameplay in MO4 involves a straightforward control scheme adapted for mobile devices. Players typically use on-screen buttons to move their character, jump, shoot, and launch grenades. Like other Metal Slug titles, MO4 includes power-ups that enhance weapons and provide vehicles, such as the iconic Slug Gunner or Slugnaut, which offer players a significant advantage in combat. The narrative usually follows the standard Metal Slug plotline, where a small elite military unit fights against a tyrannical rebel army and its various nefarious plans.

MO4 features multiple missions with distinct environments, ranging from jungles and deserts to industrial complexes and enemy fortresses. The game is known for its challenging difficulty, requiring players to master enemy patterns and utilize their arsenal effectively. The visual style aims to replicate the distinctive pixel art and animation that the Metal Slug series is famous for, although adapted for mobile screen resolutions.
