As fun as into the breach

I spent 1000+ hours on ITB and if you liked ITB you will also like Metal Slug Tactics. It has more game element than ITB and eventually you will spend more time on calculation compared to ITB. They are reasonably balanced and fun to explore.

A fun beautiful, fast paced tactical 5/5

Super cool game! I don't remember last time when a design was so fun, let alone inspire me to write it's "cool". It's polished and designed with a lot of thought, skill, and love. And it shows. These guys nailed it! What I love about this game - it's designed to keep you acting as a turn based game and want to experience the action and has a challenging difficulty that requires you to plan ahead with your moves so you can't just mindlessly run and gun 100%. Exactly what I like! Design wise it's a beautiful game, the gameplay is fun, the choiecs matter, and it gives you freedom to play as you like. If you had enough about those slow paced turn based tacticals like XCOM or Disgaea, this game let's you have a LOT MORE FUN, you don't feel constricted by trying to make every move count to a high degree. I also played Into the breach like other reviewers but into the breech was just pure puzzle mechanics, zero action. gameplay wise these are worlds apart and I think are compared more because of the pixel graphics.

Tactical superbness

Except for some issues with bugs when you redo a turn for an example it's a really good game.
