Metal Slug Tactics combines classic run-and-gun gameplay with rogue-lite elements

In Metal Slug Tactics, the players face the opposing force on turn-based maps, and movement becomes an unarmed offence. The game also includes elements of rogue-lite, which allows replayability with the die and retry system and involves using experience points to unlock new weapons and abilities. Players can try every strategy they want with 110 handmade maps and 20 different mission types.

In contrast to the run-and-gun gameplay of the original games, Metal Slug Tactics takes a more planned and systematic approach to gameplay. Since it is a tactical role-playing game, it keeps the trademark pixel art of its predecessors while integrating additional rogue-lite mechanics to increase the number of times it can be played. 

Metal Slug Tactics is a video game that combines existing elements with new twists. It is being marketed as both a tribute to the classic series and a new take on the game. 

In a recent trailer on YouTube Metal Slug Tactics – Release Date Trailer, developer Leikir Studio and publisher Dotemu showcased three returning characters from SNK’s earlier games: Clark Still, Ralf Jones, and Leona Heidern.

There will also be a physical version of Metal Slug Tactics; further pre-order information will be revealed. The Metal Slug Tactics series has been a huge hit for almost 20 years, and now fans are anticipating a new tactical element.

Fans and newcomers alike are looking forward to a new and exciting title in November: Metal Slug Tactics, with which, due to changes in its design, insiders will be able to rejuvenate the series, staying true to itself at the same time.
