Wishlist Metal Slug Tactics on Steam:

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.

Paired with gorgeous pixel art and fluid animation which faithfully channels the series’ timeless aesthetic, Metal Slug Tactics is a natural extension of METAL SLUG’s beloved visuals. Each mission’s heated battle is energized through original music by Tee Lopes (Sonic Mania, League of Legends, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, and Streets of Rage 4’s Mr. X Nightmare DLC among other titles). Metal Slug Tactics is both a respectful homage to an all-time classic and an imaginative new way to celebrate the renowned series.

I know that many people hate when an action series is turned into a turn-based strategy, but I like it. Definitely gonna check it out.

This actually makes me miss Advance Wars I & 2 on GBA. (It's one of my achievement that I S ranked every single campaigns and challenges, etc)
Wasn't too into the style of AW3, for some reason - lost that light-hearted charm.

Devinitely would be looking out for this - for some reason, I'm a sucker for isometric views.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

not like this...

 

[SilentUser]

I'm in! I miss so much this type of game. Tactics Ogre Let us Cling Together remains as one of my all time favorite title.

 

[Anki]

I loved it, day one!

 

[GymWolf]

Is it me or the sprites and animations are worse than metal slug 1?!?

 

[anthony2690]

It doesn't look bad, but it isn't what I was hoping for

 

[MAtgS]

 

[SegaShack]

2 seconds of gameplay, 2 minutes of anime.

 

[MvCSpiderman]

So how is SNK staying a float exactly?

 

[carlosrox]

Say whaaaaaaaat?

This has my interest!

 

[JunkerWoland]

I'm not completely opposed to the idea of a tactics-style Metal Slug, but the description invokes something of which I'm not a fan, "roguelike elements."

The Steam page also contains the following: "Ending the war won't be easy. Many challenges await, prepare to die again and again but never give up! Play and replay your favorite missions as much as you want! Use the skills you acquired through each battle you have won so far to take down your enemies!"

I'm all for grinding in RPGs, but what I'm reading and seeing makes me think this is not a game for me.

 

[killatopak]

I’m in.

So how is SNK staying a float exactly?

Owned by a Saudi Arabian prince.

 

[Fuz]

Holy.

Fucking.

Shit.


GIVE IT TO ME NOW

 

[Fuz]

Owned by a Saudi Arabian prince.

That Saudi prince is my new best friend.

 

[Fuz]

but the description invokes something of which I'm not a fan, "roguelike elements."

Oh.

Fuck.

No.

 

[Punished Miku]

Count me in. We had about 50 traditional MS titles. I'm ready for something new.

 

[McCheese]

I never knew I wanted this, looks bloody great!

 

[Pejo]

Not even EGS exclusive for a year....the madmen did it.

Rogue-like made me make the

face, but I'm still in.

 

[SpiceRacz]

FUCK that looks awesome.

 

[ChoosableOne]

What a surprise! Best game in the show so far for me.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Looks dope as fuck, I love it.

 

[Kokoloko85]

I love TacticRPG like games so Im down

 

[Labadal]

I’m in.

Owned by a Saudi Arabian prince.

My sources told me the prince is Nigerian. I'm unsure, now.

 

[manfestival]

Yeah I am totally ok with this. I love tactics games.

 

[Alter_Fridge]

Uggh turn based strategy

Should have died after the original XCOM

 

[Rentahamster]

OH fuck I need this please don't suck

 

[a multicultural team of v]

So how is SNK staying a float exactly?

Strong life preservers

 

[Holammer]

I'm surprised they gave Fio such big fat tiddies (also abs), in current year?
Not complaining mind.

 

[Belmonte]

I'm a huge run n gun fan but this is awesome also!

 

[DarkMage619]

What platforms is this on?

 

[ZywyPL]

AW is the first thing that came onto my mind as well. Can't wait for the game, good old Metal Slug but in totally different form, it'll be interesting and fun for sure.

 

[SALMORE]

interesting idea i like it a lot .... SNK are already working on a traditional sequel in house & there's that mobile game by Tencent

 

[Starlight Lotice]

Holy shit this looks amazing!!!!!

Now do Psycho Soldier DotEmu!!!

 

[ValiantTraveler]

Out of nowhere! Sign me the fuck up!

 

[begotten]

This was actually the best thing at todays' SGF no Kapp

 

[Birdo]

Nice that they kept the pixel art style and not some HD crap.

 

[Holammer]

What platforms is this on?

Only PC for now.

Holy shit this looks amazing!!!!!

Now do Psycho Soldier DotEmu!!!

I like the way you think, reimagining Psycho soldiers with graphics and designs from the KoF games would be pretty rad.

 

[ssringo]

New Metal Slug? I'm IN!

METAL SLUG is back with a brand new entry in the METAL SLUG universe. Discover a new side of the emblematic run'n'gun and jump into a dynamic tactical RPG with roguelike elements!

roguelike elements

...and I'm out.

 

[kunonabi]

I'd be interested if it was on a damn console.

 

[Celcius]

I feel like I need to play a demo first

 

[Killer8]

Best thing shown today. Even got the Sonic Mania composer on board.

 

[dukeoflegs]

I never got into tactics games, but I love Metal Slug ...so I'M IN!!!

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Love it

Concept, trailer, graphics, everything

hells yeah

 

[Ozzie666]

Somewhere there is a loud whimper from the small horde of NEO GEO AES and MVS owners/collectors. Not like this. Never like this. Don't think this is the Metal Slug people were after. Kraut Buster will have to do.

 

[BlackM1st]

I wonder if it's gonna be released on mobile phones.

 

[wondermega]

I wonder if it's gonna be released on mobile phones.

I would probably buy it if so (if done right, without all the added usual mobile nonsense that we all hate)

 

[Krappadizzle]

I know that many people hate when an action series is turned into a turn-based strategy, but I like it. Definitely gonna check it out.

Honestly. Exactly how I feel. Not a big fan in general of things like this happening, but I won't lie as I think it does look interesting. I've always loved Metal Slug's art.

 

[mcjmetroid]

So how is SNK staying a float exactly?

Go figure you wouldn't like a game that has potential or has any chance of being good.

This is a 2D game by the way.

Anyway...

I love me some turn based strategy games and it kinda looks like FF: Tactics so that's a win in my book.
