    I'm so ready for Metal Slug Tactics! This OST is 98% made with Roland Sound Canvas, which I absolutely adore, and was a blast to explore! Also, the game is incredibly fun and certainly worth the wait. November 5th can't arrive soon enough tho!

    Thank you to the various review outlets for praising "Metal Slug Tactics" OST! I'm humbled, and it makes me feel like I brought something of value to a table of very talented, passionate people. In fact, thank you for mentioning music at all, which I maintain is part of a complete game review ♥️🎵

    Metal Slug Tactics is out! And I reviewed it! Please read! It's very fun, but has a few annoying bugs at present. Honestly, that's the only thing standing between it and an unqualified recommendation. It's on Game Pass too, so try it if you can. www.pcgamer.com/games/strate...

  • Raul Volpato *Recovering* @raul-volp.bsky.socialBluesky · Nov 6, 2024

    Metal Slug Tactics is the kind of game I would give a finger to work on it, the pixel art is perfect, the gameplay takes some time to get used to, probably the most different turn based tactical game I played in how it expect the players to play, but it's super fun once you understand.

    the new patch for Metal Slug Tactics seemed to have fixed quite a bit of the game breaking glitches which is nice, along with QoL things like better readability in some of the text. It's a great game but yeah some of the playthroughs I had before it were kinda rough sometimes lol

    Hey friends, I reviewed Metal Slug Tactics for @gamespot.com.web.brid.gy! I really like how it handles the transition to turn-based-strategy while keeping the Metal Slug charm intact. However, I do have a few bones to pick with it. Give it a read and see what I mean! www.gamespot.com/reviews/meta...

    So my updated opinion on Metal Slug Tactics: Absolutely incredible game in many ways. Lots of cool interactions and interesting decisions. Incredibly complicated turns means I might not keep playing it. The final mission of my first campaign took over 20 minutes. The enemies did not get a turn.

    I finally found some time for Metal Slug Tactics. It works for this Metal Slug fan! The focus on keeping moving is a neat reworking of the classic Metal Slug gameplay, and the application of a punishing arcade structure really brings the Slug vibe. The team clearly know the Metal Slug universe too.

    I was sold the moment I saw Metal Slug Tactics. The game looks fantastic and I love that my KOF addiction is paying off by including the Ikari Warriors. I’ve heard it’s pretty challenging too.

    I wasn't expecting to enjoy Metal Slug Tactics as much as I have so far. It's a tactics game that almost encourages reckless play, which feels different. Maybe it won't last through some deeper play, but enjoying the beginning immensely

    #justbeatit Metal Slug Tactics. Its a rogue like (or lite?) game that rewards you for running & gunning around the map. Its confusing at first but once you learn to play its very satisfying. Counting my first good run as a beat but i know i'll keep playing this one. @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

    I’m a sucker for tactical RPGs and am looking to scratch that itch. I tried the Metal Slug Tactics game recently and it didn’t click (kind of messy and over engineered for my taste). The Shining Force series and FF Tactics (original) are my favorites.

    Dipped into the Metal Slug Tactics game a little and it's doing a neat thing differently than most tactics games. Basically optimal play comes down to: 1) moving your characters the maximum amount possible in a turn 2) positioning them so they can synergize their attacks
