Metal Slug Tactics faithfully adapts the beloved run-and-gun action of the franchise into a deep tactical roguelike RPG loaded with content and some of the best pixel art of the year. When one thinks about Metal Slug, it’s difficult to imagine a game that isn’t a side-scrolling romp filled with explosions, massive guns, and some of the coolest-looking tanks the world has never seen. Taking that concept and pivoting into a genre that’s arguably the counter-opposite of a shoot-’em-up was a bold idea, but thanks to some clever mechanics, it works better than one might expect.
