    There is a good game here, sometimes a great one. Excellent art and animation, smart gameplay twists, and a genuinely refreshing pace really add some exciting new depth to the tactics genre and are huge positives. But it takes a while for the experience to smooth out and actually become enjoyable, and restrictive gameplay design choices don’t do it any favours, either. Metal Slug Tactics is one for the tactics fans looking for a fresh take, but just know you’ll have to put in some work to see the best parts of it.

    A modest return of Metal Slug in a new genre for the series, lacking variety and full of rough edges to be polished but with great potential. If Leikir Studios were willing to pamper and fill out their project as they have done with the art and the references now that they don't have the pressure of the release date, we could be looking at a highly recommended title not only for fans of the series.
