Metal Slug Tactics

Cool little game when you get the hang of it, I would have preferred it without the rogue lite loop, but hey ho, it is what it is

For a "roguelike" wannabe, it takes way too long to finish a single run. I needed around 3 hours to do a single run from start to finish, which is too long for a single try, and to just upgrade a few miniscule things (felt like less than 5% of the shop). Combat it alright, but some maps have too many enemies for its own good, especially in the "protect Rumi" type of missions, that can end in a single turn if the RNG is not on your side. Overall, a very subpar turn-based roguelike compared to what else is on the market. 5/10

Metal Slug tactics is a Nintendo Switch game that was ported (badly) to PC as an attempt from SNK to wring blood out of a stone and abuse the Metal Slug franchise for every penny they can squeeze out of it. It's getting worse than the bit in Spaceballs when they showed off all the merchandise like "Spaceballs: The Toilet Paper". This time they decided to see if PC gamers would tolerate a Nintendo Switch turn based tactical game if they didn't bother testing it properly (it's full of bugs) and did a mediocre effort porting it to PC. And even for a Nintendo Switch "roguelike", this is a shallow and pointless wreck of a game. On the upside, the game does feature customisable controls and resolution, so at least some of the basic, minimum requirements have been met. Unfortunately there's a number of other technical defects and shortcomings which contribute to the game being difficult to recommend to gamers. Because this is designed for handheld/portable gaming appliances, it carries a number of deliberate design deficiencies. Compromises were made to cater to the low power handheld gaming appliances that the game was designed for. These are unfortunate compromises and limitations that PC gamers shouldn't be forced to accept, but it's evident that PC was a second thought for the mobile game developers. The game is deficient as a result of these choices, and would have been so much better without the handicaps that designing games for low power handhelds forces upon a game. While this might run well on a Steam Deck, we must remember the vast majority of gamers here are gaming on PC. To make matters worse, not only does this have pixelcrap "art", the pixelcrap isn't even applied consistently across the whole game. That jarring mismatch ruins any genuine "retro" authenticity from this pixelcrap nightmare. The inconsistency with the pixelcrap is a tacit admission that the developer was aware they could have done better but chose not to. Making a game look bad, on purpose. That's an insult. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals. The game features no proper level design or game/story flow/plot, as they opted to try to use samey repetitive procgen algorithms as a substitute for adding such content to the game, to avoid doing the important job of level/map design. As a result, the game doesn't actually have any content worth mentioning, just endless, boring, repetitive, soulless algorithmically generated sameyness. Developers must learn that procedural generation is not an acceptable substitute for content. We know Roguelites and Roguelikes are mostly slapped together by developers who are basically lazy and don't want to create bespoke content, resulting in that shallow, repetitive, soulless experience of procgen algorithms instead of content, but this is even shallower than most, there's just a couple of map forms and a couple of randomly placed enemy types, so you've seen the entire game after the first couple of missions. Worse, you have to grind those samey missions to unlock more of the "game", such as it is. This is painful, especially considering the woeful visuals and technical quality. These technical shortcomings push this game below minimum standards for any competently developed modern PC game. You're forced to sign a highly questionable yet legally unenforceable End User License Agreement... for such a relatively low effort, low quality game this comes across more as a delusion of grandeur than anything else. This agreement includes questionable requirements that may attempt to revoke consumer law protections that gamers expect to have, which is also highly problematic. Developers must learn they are here to serve gamers, not control them. I had my cat walk over the keyboard while the EULA was displaying, which fixed that problem for me. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 140,000+ games on Steam? Metal Slug Tactics has the preposterous price of $25 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games. For comparison, the INSANE $25 asking price for this game could get you games like "Crusader Kings III", "Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord" or "Rimworld". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. No pixelcrap is worth $25. If developers want to get paid the same kind of money as real game developers who know how to do graphics properly, they need to learn how to do graphics properly.

战旗类游戏，难度较大，你和敌人的血量差不多，而且敌人每回合都会源源不断的补充，玩起来很累。

——记录：《合金弹头：战略版》，January 2026 Humble Choice月包，2026/01/07入。 ——合金弹头系列首款回合制战术衍生作，将经典街机跑轰爽感融入战棋框架，用「移动 = 防御 + 技能资源」的创新机制跳出了传统战棋蹲坑对射的固有模式，情怀还原到位，玩法辨识度十足。受限于轻度肉鸽设计与内容体量，多周目重复感偏高，属于系列粉丝必玩、战棋爱好者可酌情入手的情怀向佳作。 ——综合评分：7.5/10 ——背景&剧情：故事延续系列经典设定：反乱军首领唐纳德・摩登将军卷土重来，在敌对国家蛰伏多年后积蓄兵力发动政变，妄图向世界政府复仇。玩家将率领游隼隼小队深入战区，一路突破敌军防线，逐个击破区域 BOSS 据点，最终挫败摩登的战争阴谋。 ——核心创新：移动 = 闪避 + 肾上腺素。 这是本作最具辨识度的机制，从根本上改变了战棋的防守逻辑：角色每回合移动距离越远，获得的闪避值越高，闪避相当于临时护盾，可直接抵消伤害，掩体的减伤效果反而十分有限；长距离移动同时会积攒肾上腺素，相当于技能能量，用于释放手雷、冲刺射击、范围轰炸等特殊招式；所有攻击必定命中，没有miss概率，不用赌脸，所有伤害与生存收益都和走位直接挂钩，鼓励玩家全程拉扯、主动出击，完美复刻了原作边跑边打的爽感。 ——是一次非常成功的系列玩法跨界尝试，它没有生硬地把合金弹头套进战棋模板，而是抓住了「跑轰」的核心气质，用创新机制让两种玩法完美契合。对于系列老粉丝来说，光是满屏的情怀细节就值回票价；对于纯战棋玩家来说，它的机制有新意但深度稍欠，更适合中等体量的休闲体验。 ——适合合金弹头系列粉丝、喜欢快节奏战术游戏、偏爱创新机制战棋、追求像素复古情怀的玩家。26/07/21

Jogavel no Linux na configuração padrão do Proton

Esse jogo é bem viciante, eu acabei passando por um acidente que tive apenas uma mão parece que esse jogo apareceu na hora certa. Esse é o meu primeiro rpg tático e que pra mim valeu cada centavo, apesar de ser simples e muito rápido ele consegue ser divertido. Tá certo que esse é um rpg tático muito simples comparado aos outros, porém o jogo não se propõe a ser complexo pelo que eu senti, ele funciona como os outros jogos do Metal slug.
