Fans should be on the lookout for more news, as Metal Slug Tactics is coming soon.
#METAL SLUG TACTICS SERIES#
This is a perfect choice for Metal Slug, as Dotemu has wasted no time delivering a fresh and unique spin on the series fans are in love with, right down to the iconic pixel art style. Metal Slug Tactics is being made by Dotemu in collaboration with SNK, the same developers behind Streets of Rage 4 and the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. It’s up to the Peregrine Falcons to take the fight to Morden and prevent the damage he’s starting to cause with his recent global conquest. As for what the game is about, Donald Morden, the series antagonist, has been in hiding for years, slowly amassing a personal army to take over the world and get revenge for the death of his family. The game also retains the same level of difficulty as its 2D shooter counterpart, meaning players who want to jump into Metal Slug Tactics should expect to die a lot. However, if the characters are pinned down, they have the option to call in reinforcements, be it air support, like the Metal Slug itself, or something more.
It's not quite as ludicrously detailed and flashy as the Metal Slug arcade games of old, perhaps, but it still has a lot of character. One such mechanic is Sync, which allows players to push out simultaneous attacks against the enemy, dealing more damage to one target before their turn. Metal Slug Tactics is an isometric strategy game with pixel art that makes me very happy to look at. The trailer posted on the game’s Steam page, as well as the Summer Games Fest Twitter, shows all sorts of mechanics that are not only new to Metal Slug but new to the tactical RPG genre. Players will take control of the Metal Slug characters Marco, Eri, Fio, and Tarma, as they fight their way through the waves of baddies and other enemies in the game. Metal Slug Tactics is, in fact, a grid-based strategy game in the same sense as titles like X-Com and Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. Play and replay your favorite missions as much as you want!
