Dotemu has learned from their mistakes. The sequel games of Metal Slug has not received great feedback, so they decided to go back to 1996.
Metal Slug Tactics will have old feel graphics as well as the earlier universe settings. Marco, Eri, Fio, and Tarma- the Peregrine Falcon Squad- will be uniting to fight through dynamic, strategic combat.
