Greetings squad,

Today, we are thrilled to give you a behind-the-scenes look at METAL SLUG TACTICS’ development!

As you can imagine, adapting a legendary run-and-gun into a roguelite tactical RPG came with many unique challenges.

Discover what design decisions we took to recreate METAL SLUG’s fast-paced action in turn-based form, and how we translated its iconic pixel art into an isometric view:

Greetings squad,

For all of us at Leikir Studios & Dotemu, making a new entry in a legendary franchise like Metal Slug was a childhood dream come true.

However, as we know, with great legacy comes great responsibility!

It was essential for us to properly pay respect to the roots of Metal Slug, all while translating its iconic run-and-gun gameplay into a tactical RPG.

Who better to guide us than the original devs at SNK? We went to their headquarters in Japan to talk about what made Metal Slug such an iconic, beloved franchise, and what it means to make a Metal Slug game in 2024:

I’ve always loved the art of the Metal Slug series of side-scrolling shooters, so I’ve been keeping a keen eye on the fetching grid strategy antics of Metal Slug Tactics ever since it was first announced. For as long as I’ve been excited, I’ve also been worried. It’s been a polarising experience, like being alternately fed delicious sandwiches and those inedible rotlogs they sell at Subway. Still, I’ve remained cautious: is all this great pixel-art just a shroud pulled over a ho-hum tactics game to rescue it from naffness? It’s with this in mind I hungrily dove into the Steam Next Fest demo, as one might hungrily dive into a bin to eat literal garbage if their only other option was Subway.
