They've also dropped a new trailer.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

looks great

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Day one

 

[Punished Miku]

I will definitely be picking this one up.

Looking forward to reading some demo impressions from people. Hopefully it's good.

 

[Shtef]

Finally, i had this on wishlist for a long time.

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

Can't wait!

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Hopefully they'll be doing a physical release for the Switch as I would like to pick it there if possible. If not I'll probably wait for a sale.

 

[MrRibeye]

I read this as Metal Gear Tactics and thought I'd see a stealth-based FF Tactics game

but this trailer was awesome, they nailed the vibe. Great stuff!

 

[DenchDeckard]

Sold!!!

 

[BossLackey]

I've been waiting for so long.

Super hyped for this.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Been waiting on this for years. Day one and it's looking so fucking good.

 

[cireza]

Awesome news !

 

[Diseased Yak]

Damn, this looks awesome!

 

[TintoConCasera]

Nice! Back from the grave, didn't heard about this game in ages

 

[John Bilbo]

Great news!! I thought this game was dead in the water.

 

[Saber]

I took them so long to say anything that I though this one was cancelled.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Awesome

 

[Investor9872]

Tactical rpg is my favorite gaming genre! Can't wait.

 

[SaintALia]

Good to see the series is still kicking around and I'm a big fan of the series, but I have no interest in tactics games.

Hopefully all that S.A. money eventually funds a Metal Slug 8.

 

[BlackTron]

I honestly completely forgot about this game, but I'm glad we survived long enough

 

[Labadal]

Hopefull for real this time.

 

[RavageX]

I can dig it, as long as it has tense, large boss battles and its not short as hell.

 

[Come On Tars]

yes sir

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Was beginning to worry about this one, glad it's releasing soon.

 

[Moochi]

Nice! A faithful transition of the look of Metal Slug. If the gameplay is on point, this is going to be killer.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

will definitely try it

 

[TexMex]

I thought this had been scrapped for some reason. This looks so insanely fucking good I could shit.

 

[Bartski]

finally

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

That uh... looks a hell of a lot better than I'd expected. This game has been in development for ages at this point, so I'm surprised to see it resurface and look this good.

 

[DelireMan7]

Was beginning to worry about this one, glad it's releasing soon.

Same.

Happy to see it release.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Backed by Saudi money, if that mean anything to you.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Again, I suck at these types of games, but as a lifelong Metal Slug fan this just looks so damn good that Im not going to be able to resist.

Unicorn Overlord is still on the backlog too (dont tell Danjin)

 

[SirTerry-T]

That reminds me...what's the latest on that run & gun title some of the OG Metal Slug Devs were working on?

 

[Shin-Ra]

The chunky pixel art looks nice but high res UI and overlays not so much.

 

[West Texas CEO]

 

[kingpotato]

Perfect steam deck game

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Love the art direction of the Metal Slug games.

 

[Herbspiceguy]

That reminds me...what's the latest on that run & gun title some of the OG Metal Slug Devs were working on?

Haven't heard about, so I looked it up and it's called Black Finger Jet. Somewhat disappointed it's not full 2D, as that's one of the main draws for me.

 

[lame gag1990]

Looks great. This genre is not typically my cup of tea but I'm certainly intruiged.

 

[Futaleufu]

Looks decent but far from the sprite quality of the Neo Geo games

 

[El Muerto]

Day one for me. Played the shit out of FF Tactics on PS1 and GBA. There's a game on PS1 called Eternal Eyes that is another good one. Haven't played good tactics since then so looking forward to this.

 

[Coconutt]

Looks really good always wondered why more companies have not made tactics games, imagine Pokemon or metal gear solid trying this approach. I'll be there day one.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Demo out later today on Steam.

 

[Hemingwayoffbase]

Getting big Into The Breach vibes and I’m definitely cool with that.

 

[John Bilbo]

Demo out later today on Steam.

The demo is up and downloadable.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[Arsic]

I’m curious on demo impressions. Won’t have time this week.

I want this to succeed. It looks super fun.
