Short, but fun, tactical game

A fun tactical game in the style of Final Fantasy Tactics. The story is minimal, but perhaps it is not necessary in this case. The game was surprisingly difficult. I had to change my thinking, because a good result requires constant movement of heroes and attacking the opponent, as well as creating combination attacks. Sometimes every turn felt like a puzzle. It is impossible to save progress. And there are a lot of options for improving weapons and skills, where you need to make the right choices to be competitive. The downside is that the game is very short, which you are supposed to complete several times, each time unlocking new difficulty levels, heroes and other things. But for me the first time I managed to go through it to the end was enough, there are enough other good games that I haven't played yet, to have the motivation to complete this game again and again.

Metal Slug Tactics is a fun and nicely-challenging strategy game, but what truly makes it stand out is how it finds a way to incorporate mechanics from the arcade games into its gameplay by placing a unique emphasis on movement. Combined with astonishing visuals (especially during the epic boss battle), it makes for an entry into the franchise that's more than worthy and one that's worth checking out whether you're a fan of the series or not. After all, you can't attack a basket of snakes in order to sic them on your enemies and not have fun.

Metal Slug Tactics (Xbox SS)

Un claro Víctor type of game. Roguelite táctico encima de Metal Slug que más puedo pedir. El pixel art es una maravilla, la OST te activa recuerdos, tiene guiños constantes a la saga y el combate es muy divertido y combero. Me ha gustado muchísimo.
