For those that need a little slice of history, the Neo Geo was a super expensive console back in the 1990s that offered up arcade-quality visuals. One of the big games to hit the platform was Metal Slug, a series that has about as many sequels as it does chunky sprites on screen at any given time.
Anyway, Metal Slug Tactics, which is a new isometric grid-based strategy game based in the Metal slug-verse, features all of the highly detailed 2D art, animation, and over-the top special effects that made the original games stand out. And stand the test of time to boot.
With a planned 2022 release, the following gameplay trailer will certainly please fans and newcomers alike.
A fresh take on Metal Slug that moves the classic action franchise into a new dimension, Metal Slug Tactics retains fan-favourite elements such as the detailed pixel art and explosive action, but adds tactical combat mechanics and roguelike elements to the mix. Players will control familiar Metal Slug heroes such as Marco, Tarma, Fio and Eri in fast-paced, dynamic battles. As a tactical game, positioning is key – placing your troops correctly on the battlefield can activate the Sync skill, where multiple heroes deal extra damage to the enemy.
