Metal Slug Tactics

[Maryokutai]

It's alive:

 

 

And coming almost soon-ish. Good to see.

[Maf]

Sick gimme, gimme

[DANGERMAN]

I hope this turns out good. They should do a Neo Geo Pocket version 

[Cyberpunk]

Love me some Metal Slug

[retroed]

 

Looks gorgeous. Shame it's a roguelike.

 

 

[Maryokutai]

Yeah, that unfortunately killed all my interest in it.

[mfnick]

 What?!?! Nooooooooo 😭 I’ve been really looking forward to this ever since it was first announced. Absolute bullshit. 

[spatular]

i'm not really into roguelike stuff either but into the breach had some stuff like that and was still amazing so hope it could still be good.

[DANGERMAN]

yeah, it's more of a wait and for me now

Xbox & PC Gamepass November 5th

 

 

[mfnick]

Thank God it’s on gamepass. I was really excited for this until they said it’s a roguelike which killed it for me. But will definitely still try it now. 

[Maf]

I’m not against the combination of rogue-lite and tactics game in theory but I’m so fucking dreadful at tactics games I can’t imagine how I would ever progress. Even playing games like Mario & Rabbids I had to restart the missions over and over 

It’s going to need really well balanced difficulty curve for me to find it accessible

I only had a quick go at the demo during one of the recent Steam next fests, but I remember not really enjoying the way it appeared to revolve around having to position people for combo/special attacks all the time. 

Admittedly I didn't give it much time to win me over, so I might have another look since it's going to be on game pass.
