The game’s a twist on the older run and gun arcade series Metal Slug, with more focus on - as the name might suggest - tactics. Everything’s on an isometric battlefield now, with weapon upgrades and skill perks to make your squad stronger after clearing procedurally generated levels. Apparently there’ll also be roguelike elements included.
Some of the same characters are returning, though, and the style is similar, at least according toGraham’s lookwhen the game was first announced at Summer Games Fest in 2021. It’s also kept the ginormous bosses from the originals, which wereshown offa bit later that summer.
Metal Slug Tactics' store page is over onSteamready for its new release date some time next year.
