Metal Slug Tactics and its action RPG will debut on Nintendo Switch and present new trailer

SNK’s legendary action series makes the leap to role-playing and turn-based strategy.

It was one of the surprises of the past E3 2021, and today it has been seen in the new Indie World of Nintendo to confirm its launch on the hybrid console of those from Kyoto. The protagonist? Metal Slug Tactics , a turn-based RPG that adapts the legendary action of this long-awaited series to a new format, but with the promise of keeping its hallmarks intact.

Features classic characters, final bosses, and iconic Metal Slug weaponsSo far only announced for PC, we now know that Metal Slug Tactics will also go on sale on Nintendo Switch sometime in 2022 . Announcement that comes accompanied by a new gameplay trailer with new scenes from this retro aesthetic video game , which lets us see some of its protagonists such as Marco, Eri, Fio and Tarma.

With “settings brimming with nods to the history” of the saga, these characters will feature the typical weapons of the Metal Slug series , including vehicles like the Slugnoid SVX-15D. This trailer also shows one of the most interesting options of this tactical RPG: synchronized attacks , which will allow us to unleash all our power in master plays. And of course, as in all self-respecting Metal Slug, there will be final bosses and one of them can be seen in the video: it is Aeshi Nero.

Metal Slug Tactics will give us the option to improve the skills and weapons of our soldiers to adapt them to the changing conditions of combat and our own style of play. The coverage will be important and also the attacks from the flanks and the rear, as it could not be otherwise in an action and strategy game. This has been one of the prominent announcements of the last Nintendo Indie World, where the premiere of Loop Hero on Nintendo Switch has also been confirmed
