- Metal Slug Tactics review: the crunchy arcade run 'n' gun pauses to have a tactical think - 19 November 2024
I am a very casual enjoyer of Metal Slug games. I've never actually paid for one of these side-scrolling shoot 'em ups, except for all the countless coins I happily pumped into arcade machines as a child. To this day, if I see a rare glittering cabinet running one of these crunchy shmups, I will go ham for twenty or thirty minutes, and walk away satisfied that I have seen a lot of very good pixels. These games, I am convinced, were never really designed to be completed, but to be played exactly like this, as a coin-gobbling invitation to become a bandana-wearing sisyphus, a tiny Rambo pushing a bouncy, juddering tank up a hill occupied by cartoon nazis. You die a bunch and say: "ah, that was good." So what happens when you rearrange the molecules of this run and/or gun 'em up into an isometric turn-based strategy game? You get Metal Slug Tactics , an off-kilter nod to Into The Breach an…

- Metal Slug Tactics is out now, bringing a tactical twist to the legendary series - 6 November 2024
I don't know about you but I've never associated the Metal Slug series with strategy. The legendary run and gun games have always had more in common with Contra, Shootas, Blood & Teef, and Broforce rather than slower, more cerebral offerings like Final Fantasy Tactics, Triangle Strategy, or Fire Emblem. That's all changed now, as Metal Slug Tactics is here to serve up a side order of strategy along with the series' trademark explosive action. Read the rest of the story...

- Metal Slug Tactics review - 5 November 2024
In the entire history of videogames, there have only been a few recorded cases of a studio performing the forbidden alchemy of transposing a game into another genre entirely. Until now, the most successful was probably R-Type Tactics (originally for the humble PSP, and now currently being remade ), but I think the crown might have to go to Metal Slug Tactics... Read more.
- Metal Slug Tactics (PC) Review - 5 November 2024
Despite being genuinely interested in Metal Slug Tactics , I never really played a lot of the main series games. That’s not to say I didn’t like Metal Slug , because I honestly always have, but my opportunities to go to good arcades as a kid were limited and I just never seemed to get chances to play it. As I got a bit older and Metal Slug got re-released on multiple consoles, I finally got a proper chance to experience this true classic in the Shoot ‘Em Up genre. Metal Slug Tactics felt to me like both a surprise and a logical spin-off for the franchise. On the one hand, it seems odd that a game so defined by its frenetic energy would branch off into a genre that’s all about taking your time and planning carefully. On the other hand, games like Advance Wars and Wargroove have proven—both in gameplay and aesthetic—that you can apply faster, more arcade sensibilities to Turn-Based Strate…
