SNK’s classic action franchise Metal Slug returns in a tactical RPG form.
Metal Slug Tactics was shown off during Summer Games Fest, and it’ll be available on PCs via Steam. In a slick trailer, the original members Mario, Tarma, Fio, and Eri were reintroduced, together with the classic pixel art style of the series.
The game will allow players to use classic Metal Slug weapons, skill trees, perks, and an adrenaline-fueled attack system to outsmart and defeat villains.
