Metal Slug Tactics

Metal Slug Tactics is a tactical RPG with roguelite elements, combining turn-based tactical battles with the arcade action of the METAL SLUG series. Donald Morden has returned after years in hiding and staged a coup with the army he secretly assembled. The Peregrine Falcons Squad must fight through enemy lines and stop General Morden before the war escalates into catastrophe.

Build your squad

Choose from 9 iconic characters from the series and assemble a team for each mission. Select weapon loadouts and mods to improve combo efficiency, then use the SYNC mechanic to launch simultaneous attacks and deal heavy damage. You can also call in reinforcements, including heavy artillery, airstrikes and the METAL SLUG itself.

After each battle, your operatives gain experience and level up. You can unlock weapons and bonus perks to improve your team's firepower and tactical skills, adapting your setup to the enemies you face.

Fight through the campaign

Battle Morden’s Army across 110 hand-crafted maps and 20 mission types, and take on iconic bosses from the METAL SLUG universe. The campaign uses a die-and-retry roguelite progression: each defeat offers a chance to learn, adjust your tactics and try again. You can replay missions to hone your skills, while the game's pixel art pays tribute to the series.
