This game is alot of fun but its very short, and you have to replay the same 4 areas over and over to unlock everything with kind makes it a pain. To get Leona you have to pretty much unlock all other characters but by the time you get her i dont wanna play the game anymore.

Always loved the Metal Slug Series and was looking forward to Tactics because I also loved turn/grid based strategy games (FF:Tactics, Advanced Wars), but became hesitant when I found out it was Rogue-Like. Once you figure out the "Run and Gun" system of the game, it becomes to feel like the arcade game. Fortune favors the bold and your units want to move and attack constantly while 'synching' together to take out foes in mass. There is an abundance of weapon mods, loadouts and powers for each character to keep each run feeling fresh if you venture out of your normal faves. Between runs you can upgrade the starting loadouts and widen the power pool by spending coins gathered on runs. Once you get it all down, it's what I love about Metal Slug, a ballet of bullets and chaos.

Arcade Run and Gun perfectly adapted to a turned based tactical RPG? Well, yes! It’s brilliant. It channels INTO THE BREACH to adapt the fast paced action into a combat system that rewards movement and team work. I’ve completed the True Ending and unlocked all 9 characters, but there’s still sooooooooo much more to unlock and play with. I’m in love.

I was skeptical at first. The idea of having a Metal Slug game being a tactical roguelite instead of a fast-paced bullet hell felt weird to me (I have seen MS Attack and Defense on mobile but it didn't click with me). But this time I was captivated by the back to pixel art and good looking I've been missing for a long time. Recent entries in the franchise tried to introduce 3D or HD art styles and animations that felt sloppy, which for Metal Slug, known for It's astonishing and fluid animations specially in MS 1,2/X and 3 really took a hit afterwards. This time it was looking lik Metal Slug, despite the strange gameplay change. Gotta say, This game is awesome! animations are great, art direction is great, pixel art is great, game looks great. Tactical RPG gameplay felt really good too, as a longtime fan of Metal Slug (Not really been into Strategy RPG tho) Not too strategic to move to far from Metal Slug but still sell of the Tactics strategy vibe. Levels felt a bit repetitive however specially after many runs (which is incentivised in the game) as the game doesn't randomize the arenas much, mostly the enemies. And missed level variety (We only have arabian desert, egyptian desert, tribal jungle and city). Also for the slugs I think we should have more variety other than just SV-001 an Slugnoid, Say the SV-Camel, Slug Gunner, Slug Flyer, and others. The game feels very simple and small in scale but I hope to see it scale up over the years. I still wanna see Metal Slug games in the classic sidescroller shot em' up style, but I'd certainly enjoy more Tactic-style entries along with it as well in the future. I really hope this to mean they'll pay more attention to art once more, instead of recycling old assets or trying lazy poorly-finished modernizaton, Leikir, great work! Love it!

I'm honestly a little torn on this one... From a tactics standpoint this game is super unique and it's one of the prettiest strategy games I've ever played (if you're into the art style)... But, there isn't a ton of meat on the bones. You fight the same bosses and "special" missions over and over again. None of the characters or loadouts feel super unique and because of this, the drive to play over and over again to unlock everything just isn't there. It's a good game. There just isn't enough of it to justify paying 30 bucks. Get it on sale, play it for a weekend, and forget about it.
