Critic Reviews for Metal Slug Tactics
Metal Slug Tactics lives up to its stone-cold classic namesake from SNK’s golden era with its painstakingly detailed pixel art, head-bopping soundtrack, and snappy structure. It magnificently translates the run-n-gun series into its first turn-based tactics game, but doesn’t sacrifice substance for cheap nostalgia, either.
A smart, stylish adaptation that beats the odds to capture Metal Slug's spirit in another genre, with a few irritating bugs
"They've successfully encouraged the always-keep-moving approach of Metal Slug proper."
It's got a hell of a steep learning curve, but once you learn the ropes Metal Slug Tactics is a wonderful tactics game full of nostalgia.
Metal Slug Tactics is a very successful transposition of SNK's historic run-and-gun. It is familiar and nostalgic and offers a good challenge despite its short experience.

A very clever spin-off that subverts your expectations about Tactics games by replicating the gameplay and visuals of Metal Slug through the medium of a fast-paced and surprisingly innovative strategy game.
It nails the run-and-gun feel of Metal Slug, and somehow transforms that into a tactics game, and that’s a hell of an accomplishment. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got an itch, and the only salve is another run.
