However if Metal Slug Tactics wants to capture fans of other tactics titles like Disgaea, some kind of persistent growth will be necessary. This mechanic would make sense for veteran Metal Slug fans, and roguelite fans as well. It's easy to picture each stage of Metal Slug Tactics starting out with basic equipment and players having to rescue captured soldiers in order to obtain upgrades. Tactics RPGs are usually fairly difficult, but so was classic Metal Slug.
It's likely to lean more towards Metal Slug's core mechanics, which is still exciting. Just how Metal Slug Tactics will handle the adaptation to turn-based tactical gameplay hasn't really been shown yet. While not much is known about the mechanics of the game yet, clearly this has a similar function in Tactics. Another mainline Metal Slug mechanic seems to also be at play, as one of the POWs that usually hand out upgrades after being rescued is seen tied up against the wall of a building. Marco is shown in the first gameplay moments moving across a rooftop towards a group of SYNC troops before lobbing a grenade. Series' mainstay Marco is the first to appear in the trailer an animated cinematic of him leaping into battle alongside a synth soundtrack right at home in an arcade. The trailer for Metal Slug Tactics dives into pure retro nostalgia almost immediately.

Fans of the series and tactics RPGs have already seen a lot to like about the game, and it seems like SNK is banking on capturing both sets of fans' nostalgia. This is pretty big departure from a series that has classically been a side-scroller defined by twitch reflex gameplay and fast-paced action. The game is taking the iconic SNK shoot 'em up series Metal Slug and transforming into that tactical RPG space popularized by games like Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea. P>A surprising but welcome reveal at Summer Game Fest event this week was Metal Slug Tactics.
