Reno Gazette-Journal: 7 / 10 by Jason Hidalgo
Metal Slug Tactics is a fun tactical take on the classic Metal Slug run-and-gun philosophy while emulating the look of the franchise. It certainly puts its own spin on the genre, encouraging players to move their characters as far as possible to take advantage of the ensuing buffs and bonuses. At the same time, game-breaking bugs can dampen the experience, especially when combined with its roguelite mechanics. It’s a shame as Metal Slug Tactics can be quite fun when things are clicking.
MonsterVine: 3.5 / 5 by Diego Escala
Your appreciation of Metal Slug Tactics is really going to hinge on how open you are to its genre change, and it being a rogue-like on top of that. Get over that hurdle and you’re in for a good time.
God is a Geek: 8 / 10 by Lyle Pendle
It's got a hell of a steep learning curve, but once you learn the ropes Metal Slug Tactics is a wonderful tactics game full of nostalgia.
Metal Slug Tactics Description
Metal Slug Tactics is a tactical battle game with turn-based combat system. The project was developed by French Leikir Studio, whose credits include Isbarah and Wondershot. SNK and DotEmu helped with the development.
According to the title, the game is a spin-off of the classic cycle of arcade shooters. The new incarnation of the brand allows us to fight battles from an isometric perspective. During the game we control a squad consisting of characters well known to fans of the brand, such as Marco, Eri, Fio or Tarma.
Despite the change of genre and camera, the project retains the specific visual style of the best installments of the series. Additional attraction is the music whose author is Tee Lopes, the composer of soundtracks for such games as Sonic Mania, League of Legends or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge.
