Surprisingly great

I may be biased as a fan of both Metal Slug and turn-based tactics but this game is pretty awesome. There are some gameplay quirks that take time to get used to, but it makes sense once you get a hang of it. It simple on the surface, but there are many ways to approach team building and selecting abilities/weapon loadouts and upgrades. On the highest difficulty you’ll have to get pretty efficient with actions and combos to win, so the game isn’t boring even you get good at it.

Great tactics experience

Interesting mechanics to bring the "run & gun" style to the tactics genre. Solid execution, fun animation, interesting level design.

Hybrid strategy and roguelike

Even if you are not a fan of the series, the game doesn't shy away by going strategy turned based gameplay adding roguelike loop into the mix. You essentially start with 3 characters but you unlock more (along with different skills and purchase different loadouts for each character) as you play along. Very great game if you are looking for a turned based game.

Captures that Metal Slug Spirit

Amazing strategy game! I am not a huge fan of the genre but I am a huge Metal Slug fan, having played all the arcade games and 1CC'd a few of them. This game captures the spirit of the series so well. It has awesome graphics, decent music, and excellent gameplay. It can be a little overwhelming at first, but you could that about every Metal Slug game! Keep at it and soon you'll be tearing up the enemies. The synch attacks are a lot of fun, and each character's moveset has been well thought out. I appreciate the achievements support too. Hopefully there will be some DLC levels down the line. Recommended, even for non-genre fans.
