Metal Slug Tactics Devs Present New Gameplay
A short gameplay footage of Metal Slug Tactics has appeared on DotEmu channel, showing how the tactical turn-based game announced this year is supposed to look like in action.
Metal Slug Tactics is a spin-off to SNK's classic arcade shooter series, which has been announced in June this year. Now, DotEmu channel published some gameplay footage of this isometric pixelart tactical RPG. What's more, apart from the gameplay itself during the Nintendo Indie World Showcase, we also found out that the game will be coming to Switch and not just previously announced PCs. The release is scheduled for 2022.
As the game's publisher writes:
"Paired with gorgeous pixel art and fluid animation which faithfully channels the series’ timeless aesthetic, this new footage of frontline powerhouses Marco, Eri, Fio, and Tarma rolling out to battle from a headquarters packed with nods to the long-running series’ history. The team returns with their signature arsenal - including the reliable heavy machine gun and devastating SVX-15D Slugnoid mech - as they face down fresh tactical fights."
