Focus Home Interactive and DotEmu have released the first gameplay trailer for Metal Slug Tactics. Metal Slug Tactics is a grid-based tactical adaptation of the iconic run-and-gun METAL SLUG series and this trailer will give you a glimpse at its gameplay mechanics.
Metal Slug Tactics reunites Marco, Eri, Fio, and Tarma as they lead the Peregrine Falcon Squad into a new battlefield through dynamic, strategic combat. Players wield classic METAL SLUG weaponry, leveraging skill trees, perks, and a super attack-fueling adrenaline system to outwit and demolish flanks of the series’ signature villains.
Metal Slug Tactics’ challenging missions build levels from different combinations of hand-crafted terrain tiles, keeping battle layouts unpredictable and ensuring clashes are won through calculated strategy rather than memorization. Roguelite elements make missions highly replayable and victories feel truly earned, but should a cunning squad or fiendish boss persevere, rounds are quick to jump back into.
The game will also come with gorgeous pixel art and fluid animation which faithfully channels the series’ timeless aesthetic. Additionally, it will have original music by Tee Lopes. Lopes was the man behind the soundtrack of Sonic Mania, League of Legends and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge.
Metal Slug Tactics will release on PC in 2022.
Enjoy!

What the F is that music? is that what japanese hack’n’slash music sounds like?
Metal Slug…. In RTS form? Well no one that I know of has tried this before. Colour me intrigued. With new music by Tee Lopes… If Streets of Rage 4 was anything to go by (completed a nominal run with the starting characters before DLC last week) then there’s very little to worry about in terms of soundtrack if at all.

They could have done an isometric platformer, or a twin stick shooter, but a tactical rpg?? Really??
