Metal Slug Tactics (PS5)

Metal Slug Tactics is a tactical RPG with roguelite elements for PS5, published by DOTEMU. It brings the explosive charm of the cult METAL SLUG series to strategy gameplay, plays as a single-player game and is rated GENERIC 12.

Morden is back

Donald Morden has returned. After years of hiding in a country opposed to the World Government, the devious General patiently staged a coup, and he is now ready to take revenge on the world with the army he has secretly gathered.

The Peregrine Falcon Squad has to get through the enemy lines and take down General Morden before the war escalates into catastrophe. You lead them through a campaign of hand-crafted maps with the aim of ending the war and defeating the Rebel Army once and for all.

Gameplay and features

• Tactical RPG with roguelite elements and a focus on strategy
• Choose from brothers-in-arms across the METAL SLUG series and build your team
• Weapon loadouts and mods to maximise combo efficiency
• The SYNC mechanic, which lets squad members launch simultaneous attacks for big damage
• Call in reinforcements, from heavy artillery and airstrikes to the METAL SLUG itself
• Gain experience after each battle to unlock new weapons and bonus perks
• Hand-crafted maps and missions you can replay to improve

If you know the arcade series, the cast will feel familiar: brothers-in-arms from across the METAL SLUG series join your squad, and the METAL SLUG itself can be called in as reinforcement. If you do not, the tactical format makes the game approachable as a strategy title first and a nostalgia trip second.

Why play it on PS5

This listing is a physical disc for PlayStation 5. Metal Slug Tactics is an offline, one-player game, so everything you need to play is the console and the disc.

The roguelite structure means defeat is part of the learning curve. Each setback teaches you something about enemy behaviour and your own loadout, and every victory feeds back into a stronger squad, so the game rewards players who like to refine their approach and try again.
