Surprise. Obsessed with this information of prime importance, you didn’t notice that a new trailer for Metal Slug Tactics was trying to take you from behind.
Leikir Studio didn’t mince its words since no less than 18 minutes of exclusive gameplay await you, the opportunity for the studio to take stock of the overpowered abilities of the recently announced characters.
The video features this trio of fearsome allies joining SNK’s iconic characters on the battlefield:
- Clark Still : Straight from the legendary action game Ikari Warriors and already playable in Metal Slug 6 , Clark is a Tank-type fighter who uses his immense power and experience as a wrestler to move enemies around the map and inflict heavy damage. His range is great and he also affects the status of his victims.
- Ralf Jones : Also returning after his military forays in Ikari Warriors and Metal Slug 6 , Ralf is a master of close-range combat, with his devastating fists and ability to charge the enemy like a raging bull.
- Leona Heidern : A newcomer to the Ikari Warriors, Leona is a fierce fighter capable of replacing fallen enemies with friendly decoys. She can distract and outflank enemy forces with her unique approach to combat positioning.
Both a vibrant homage and a bold new take on a historic video game franchise, Metal Slug Tactics delivers a stunning aesthetic with polished pixel art and delightful animations at its core. Levels are randomized, hand-crafted tile layouts that add a roguelite dimension that’s perfectly in tune with the dynamic, strategic combat system.
Challenging, varied, and highly replayable, Metal Slug Tactics is all about putting your adaptability to the test.
Metal Slug Tactics is developed by Leikir Studio, with support from Dotemu and license access provided by SNK , its owner.
