TACTICAL RPG WITH ROGUELIKE ELEMENTS Experience the iconic dynamic battles of the METAL SLUG series with a brand new perspective.

So when a publisher starts re-selling titles in this fashion on XBLA or PSN, I'm all for coughing up a few bucks to support it. Super fun and lighthearted, Metal Slug Tactics takes what makes METAL SLUG so special and unique and brings it to the tactical genre GAMEPLAY. I emulate everything I can on every platform I can, and I accept that much of it is morally grey territory. Metal Slug looks killer on my GP2X screen, just as SNES does, but for some reason it lacks punch in this guise. I expected a similar experience here, but it just doesn't hit a home run for some reason. Playing SNES when I was jailbroken was amazing, seeing that pixel art in all its blocky perfection on the big screen. But there's still something off about the visuals, and I can't figure out what. The scaling and filtering options for the game screen itself are all very welcome, and all too rare in a commercial emulator like this.

So why does this crappy commercial code take 30 seconds to start up, and 5 seconds to 'save data' at just about every turn in the menu? There's something very fat and ugly about it. When I did it running homebrew on my previously jailbroken PS3, it was instant. When I change settings or save states on a GP2X, with its measley 200mhz, it's instant. The menus look cheap and garish, and the bezel (border) options during gameplay are either 'funky' designs or bad gradients (no plain black option. But despite this, it all manages to be so ugly. Super fun and lighthearted, Metal Slug Tactics takes what makes METAL SLUG so special and unique and brings it to the tactical genre Experience the iconic dynamic battles of the METAL SLUG series.

I really appreciate the functionality they've put into the front end, particularly with regard to display options. Taking the pixel-art anime styling of the original series. I picked up Metal Slug, and I'm not very happy. The Metal Slug franchise is returning for Metal Slug Tactics, a new turn-based title based on the run-and-gun shoot-em-up hit.
