๐️ Metal Slug Tactics – Tactical Roguelite Spin-Off Mobilizes!
Metal Slug Tactics is a spin-off of the legendary Metal Slug series, now reborn in a turn-based tactical roguelite format. Originally launched on November 5, 2024, for PC and consoles, the game is now also available on mobile devices via Crunchyroll Game Vault (iOS/Android). It combines the classic pixel art aesthetic that defines Metal Slug with turn-based strategy gameplay, layered with roguelike elements reminiscent of titles like Into the Breach.
๐น️ Gameplay & Mechanics
You’ll command a 3-member squad from the Peregrine Falcons unit, each equipped with:
๐ซ Primary weapon (unlimited ammo)
๐ฏ Secondary weapon (limited use)
⚡ Special abilities powered by Adrenaline
Adrenaline is earned through attacks and movement. Combat unfolds on a turn-based grid, with each character granted 1 action point and 1 movement point per turn. Positioning and use of cover are absolutely critical.
๐ Unique Mechanic: Sync-Attack
One of the standout mechanics is the Sync-attack system — if an enemy is within line of sight of your other squad members, they will automatically join the attack without using up their own actions.
⚠️ Maps include traps, interactive elements, and the ability to summon tanks, which rely on a fuel resource system.
As a roguelike, mission failure means starting over from the beginning. However, permanent upgrades and unlocks ensure satisfying long-term progression. Strategic mission selection is key — each sector offers different rewards like resources, XP, and ammo.
๐ Story & Narrative
Narratively, Metal Slug Tactics keeps it simple: the Peregrine Falcons are back to take down General Donald Morden, who’s attempting to rebuild his military force in the fictional city of Sirocco. While it doesn’t go deep into character development, the story provides just enough to support the nostalgic action and iconic atmosphere of the franchise.
๐บ️ Level Design & Mission Variety
With 100+ map layouts and several mission types — including:
๐ฅ Eliminate all enemies
๐ฏ Defend key points
๐ Rescue hostages
… the tactical challenge stays fresh, though some reviews note the environmental and scenario variety could be broader, leading to a slightly repetitive feel after multiple campaign runs.
Between missions, you’ll stop at strategic outposts to:
⚙️ Upgrade characters
๐ Adjust your loadout
๐ง Plan your next moves
๐จ Graphics & Sound
Visually, the game is a pixel art feast, rich in detail and faithful to the arcade roots of Metal Slug. The animations, explosions, and world design carry a modern polish without losing the retro charm.
The new isometric perspective adds a fresh tactical twist, while Tee Lopes’ soundtrack delivers militaristic energy that enhances the fast-paced, high-stakes gameplay.
☠️ Difficulty Curve
This game doesn’t pull punches. Even on the easiest difficulty, it offers a serious challenge. The learning curve is steep due to a minimal tutorial, dense UI, and small text. Early progress can feel slow as powerful abilities and upgrades take time to unlock.
But once you break through the early grind, the combat becomes more dynamic, and your strategic options expand. Each run becomes more satisfying, with stronger characters, varied tactics, and smoother gameplay.
