More Puzzle than Tactics , a new ITB? | Metal Slug Tactics - First Impressions
5Metal Slug Tactics is finally out. Let's take a look the game from perspective of a new player, and a somebody who isn't familiar with arcade Metal Slug games. As I play more and more, the game shows more heavy inspirations from Into The Breach. Comical/humor pixel sprite work in this game surely one of the strongest selling points of the game. Looking forward to spend a lot of hours into this one, just like I did with Into The Breach. If only they had a bit more QA / bug-free experience right out of the box, this would be very solid launch.
After you complete a run or die, you get into "unlocks" menu and similar to Into The Breach, you can unlock new characters, new loadouts, new skills and even character conversations (story).
