The portraits are a bit different from the original concept art, but the in-game pixel art is just P E R F E C T. It being similar to Into the Breach is also a plus in my book.
Let's gooo! It's been so long! I think this was announced either during the COVID pandemic and or just a few months after the worse of it was over. Hell, It's about time! One of the best run and gun games I ever played!
DUDE! I used to play Metal Slug 4 as a kid so much! On the PS2, I think. Such a fun game. Did know this was a thing that was happening. I should keep an eye out for it.
I can't wait to learn more about Fio's abilities. I suspect they will involve a Machine Gun because once they started giving character special traits in the main series games hers is starting with a Machine Gun. Maybe healing and buffing as well since she's planning to go into sports medicine after serving in the military and in the SNK vs Capcom card fighting games she has a healing ability.
Excited for this and glad its coming to the switch. Just finished CARDS RPG and i'm looking to add more trpgs to my game calendar this year as my backlog is being whittled down. Currently playing marvel ultimate alliance 3 (wanted to play a hero game since i was hoping Capes would be good but i wasnt impressed) which isnt a trpg. Then i have fell seal in my backlog along with re-runs of unicorn overlord and redemption reapers.
They nailed the aesthetic of the game and the gameplay with the Into the Breach elements seems interesting, so definitely a day one buy for me. I seriously recommend you play the original Metal Slug series so you can get all the references and unique mechanics, they're peak run and gun sidescrollers and since they're arcade games, they don't take long to beat.
I've had this one my wishlist for forever. I'm so glad SNK got back into the gaming space after their brief try at gambling. Unlike Konami, they managed to get out of it.
Wait this never came out? I figured it must have come out years ago and it just was bad enough that it didn't create enough buzz for me to take notice. Glad that's not the case and there's still a good chance for this to turn out good, as I've always loved Metal Slug's pixels and sprites
It’s Alive! AH-LIIIIIIIVE…! Sorry; I just really wanted to say that around here. This does look excellent; I’ll be keeping an eye on this one. Especially if you stream it, Tom…
The biggest question I have is - will multiplayer be available? Metal slug has been a game I have enjoyed in my youth as couch multiplayer. Even if it is just two players would be great
I liked Into the Breach but I hope this has more to offer... not that ITB just didn't hook me because of the difficulty curve. I didn't want to stick around and master it because rng hits so hard in those types of games.
Same way as Unicorn Overlord was a massive refinement of the basic Ogre Battle gameplay and style, would love if Metal Slug Tactics refined the mechanics of Into the Breach (a game I love that has plenty of flaws). Either way, looking forward to this one!
The thing that annoys me is that in this era of truth based tactical games, we got squads of 3, like WHY?! Our platforms can handle more then that now, l can't wait for a game like Xcom where you can upgrade your squad to 6. Lamplighters league was good but what killed it for me was the trash stealth mechanic & only being able to have 3 people in your party.
into the breach was an ok title. I don't remember disliking it, but I think maybe the rogue-lite elements may have been a bit too thick for my taste. i've heard of the metal slug franchise but don't have much investment, but it might be neat to see how it turns out.
You mean it got delayed or something? Heard of this shit like lik year's ago so I ended forgot about it. They gotta stop mentioning games a zillion years early. Mention a game no more 6-12 months early. Edit: it's been 2 years? Feels like more.
Into the Breach with better graphics and a Metal Slug theme? Let's Go!
I am so excited to see that this project is still very much alive!!!

There is no such thing as too many Tactics games
I am myself a solo game developer working on a tactics roguelite and I like this comment a lot :-D
Really happy that it's available for multiple platforms upon release
Been waiting for this ever since announcement. I really hope its good!!!
Craaaazy. I was just talking about this project like 30 mins ago. Verticality looks promising
Let's gooo! It's been so long! I think this was announced either during the COVID pandemic and or just a few months after the worse of it was over. Hell, It's about time! One of the best run and gun games I ever played!
oh hells yeah! finally!
Never played any of the series, but a new tactics game is enough for me.
you need to get on that right now. Those are some of the greatest shooter side scrollers
I've had this on my steam wishlist for YEARS. I'm glad to finally hear some news about it.
Favorite shmup joining my favorite genre. A must buy.
You're always so quick with the coverage. Great vid.
Definitely excited for this game, my only wish is for characters up to the 7th game!

Please cover this, I watched most of your Unicorn overlord coverage. Metal slug was one of my favorite arcade games.
I definitely intend to check it out!

i'm curious to see if the Ikari warriors will also be playable in this game. Also Trevor and Nadia.
This game is the epitome of something I never would have dreamt of, but something I absolutely need now that it’s real.
I now want to see a Metal Slug RTS
This looks pretty awesome. Def see myself picking this one up when it comes out.

It's fantastic to see this game surface again. I felt like I was the only one still speculating for it to appear in Nintendo Directs and such.
I hope there is a mode or option to play mordons army, theyve always been my favorite
Reminds me of Pathway. Pathway had such a buggy release, but it’s been cleaned up into a good time
I've had this one my wishlist for forever. I'm so glad SNK got back into the gaming space after their brief try at gambling. Unlike Konami, they managed to get out of it.
I didn't know that this was a thing glad I saw this video.
I'm not a metal slug fan but this looks sooooo Dope!
i'm surprised it's not available on Android and IOS, this looks like a perfect game while on the daily commute
Finally! Been waiting for more on this game
I wonder if theres other soldier unlockables like nadia, trevor, ralph or clarke
Wait this never came out? I figured it must have come out years ago and it just was bad enough that it didn't create enough buzz for me to take notice. Glad that's not the case and there's still a good chance for this to turn out good, as I've always loved Metal Slug's pixels and sprites
Well keep your eyes peeled dude, there's gonna be mpre coming reallllll soon. 👀
I will be picking this up when it comes out I love the metal slug series
It’s Alive! AH-LIIIIIIIVE…! Sorry; I just really wanted to say that around here.
This does look excellent; I’ll be keeping an eye on this one. Especially if you stream it, Tom…
Bruh you haven't played Metal slug 1-6? why have you been depriving yourself of such fun?
I'm so hyped for this
Hell yeah dude, I can't wait
"Anyone anywhere (except for mobile players)"
Alright so basically everyone who matters will be able to play this!
Fuuuuck! That makes me so sad. All I wanted was Advance Wars + Metal Slug. Fuck Into the Breach!
MORE INTO THE BREACH LET'S GO
I hope we get the other characters from the other arcade games and gameboy games.
The biggest question I have is - will multiplayer be available? Metal slug has been a game I have enjoyed in my youth as couch multiplayer. Even if it is just two players would be great

Alright - you sold me
Great content!

Glad to see it hasnt been shelved
I just checked this game is indeed going to be a roguelike.
Where'd you find that info, if you don't mind me asking.
@@TitaniumLegman Steam page in the description under features "Experience a huge replayability with its die-and-retry roguelite progression"
@@lostwar50 Phenomenal, I always forget to check the steam page. Thank you chief!
yeah this is an easy day one for switch for me.
You need to stop giving me new rpgs… because unicorn overlord makes me want to play all your suggestions haha.
Great content thanks
Not a release date and release window.
into the breach was an ok title. I don't remember disliking it, but I think maybe the rogue-lite elements may have been a bit too thick for my taste.
i've heard of the metal slug franchise but don't have much investment, but it might be neat to see how it turns out.
Metal Slug Tactics just sound as good idea. 👍
Into the Breach is too difficult for me to enjoy. I hope it’s not that tough
Yeah Into the Breach is really brutal sometimes.
You are speed
Where is Fio?
Did I somehow manage to not get her in any of the footage? Regardless, she's definitely in the game.
@@TitaniumLegman oh yeah I spotted her now, was worried for a sec
How is fall a release date lmao also how are we STILL releasing games on PS4 jfc
It's more of a date than we had before. 🤷
You mean it got delayed or something? Heard of this shit like lik year's ago so I ended forgot about it. They gotta stop mentioning games a zillion years early. Mention a game no more 6-12 months early.
Edit: it's been 2 years? Feels like more.
Yeah, they intended to release in 2022 when they announced it. But then it got delayed twice to 2024.
:( not calling SV-001 by its real name "Metal Slug"
unsubscribed twice, wrote to my state senator, reported to the emperor
It's okay, I'm gonna give the emperor his tts device back, he'll be cool.
God, what a mistake that would have been to only release on PC and Switch. Blegh!
this game so gonna be like home on switch
