Today’s trailer showcases the Peregrine Falcons Squad undertaking daring missions through scorching deserts, lush jungles, and urban battlefields as they take on General Morden’s lackeys. Battle a variety of enemies while gaining XP by completing objectives and missions to obtain new powers, weapon mods and level-ups – but with great firepower come even greater challenges. Strategic positioning and masterfully executed adrenaline-fueled combos are required to dominate Metal Slug Tactics’ deeply tactical challenges.
The trailer also introduces two additional playable characters, each bringing a unique set of abilities to the fight:
- Nadia Cassel makes her debut in Metal Slug Tactics after appearing as a quintessential teammate in several METAL SLUG games in the franchise. Known for her slick robotics and electro-mines, she’s going to pack a hard punch to the enemies she will encounter.
- Joining Nadia on the roster is Trevor Spacey, who is no stranger to METAL SLUG games as comedic relief – but with a deadly twist. In Metal Slug Tactics, Trevor has tapped into the power of mind control backed up with powerful ninja skills. Together, Trevor and Nadia will dispatch enemies with galvanic force using iconic weapons from the classics of yesteryear.
Metal Slug Tactics’ launch today sees the return of the musical talents of Tee Lopes (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, Sonic Mania, Streets of Rage 4’s Mr. X Nightmare DLC), and fans can purchase the game’s bangin’ soundtrack digitally through Steam or nab a sweet vinyl release through Kid Katana Records. Lopes’ return to form in Metal Slug Tactics will have players bopping along while they kick ass, drop airstrikes and take names.
