According to the title, the game is a spin-off of the classic cycle of arcade shooters. The new incarnation of the brand allows us to fight battles from an isometric perspective. During the game we control a squad consisting of characters well known to fans of the brand, such as Marco, Eri, Fio or Tarma.
Despite the change of genre and camera, the project retains the specific visual style of the best installments of the series. Additional attraction is the music whose author is Tee Lopes, the composer of soundtracks for such games as Sonic Mania, League of Legends or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge.

Game Ratings for Metal Slug Tactics Video Game.
The Outerhaven Productions: 5 / 5 by Keith Mitchell
Metal Slug Tactics takes SNK's iconic 2D side-scrolling run-and-gun shooter and transforms it into a 3D tactical RPG with roguelite elements that work better than expected. The game shows plenty of love for the Metal Slug series, featuring fantastic artwork, fluid animations, and engaging gameplay mechanics.
Reno Gazette-Journal: 7 / 10 by Jason Hidalgo
Metal Slug Tactics is a fun tactical take on the classic Metal Slug run-and-gun philosophy while emulating the look of the franchise. It certainly puts its own spin on the genre, encouraging players to move their characters as far as possible to take advantage of the ensuing buffs and bonuses. At the same time, game-breaking bugs can dampen the experience, especially when combined with its roguelite mechanics. It’s a shame as Metal Slug Tactics can be quite fun when things are clicking.
Screen Rant: 8 / 10 by Brad Lang
While its roguelike elements could be a little more exciting, the minute-to-minute gameplay of a run is so fun that I found it easy to overlook this flaw as I leaped back into action to drop more bombs with a well-placed Synchronization. Overall, Metal Slug Tactics is well worth playing.
