Metal Slug Tactics– now available for Xbox Series
As you prepare your squad to face the gargantuan war machines and merciless soldiers of General Morden’s army, Peregrine Falcon Headquarters releases an exclusive t actical dossier on Xbox Wire with vital information about the agents under your command and how to continue your war campaign start on the right footing.
Meet the Magnificent Nine
Your first tactical decision will be choosing which agents to deploy on the battlefield. Make sure your squad is well-rounded, synergistic and, most importantly, tailored to your playing style!
Marco Rossi is a proven battlefield commander and a versatile soldier who easily fits into any squad composition. His abilities focus on empowering and supporting his allies and strengthening their synchronization with him.
Eri Kasamoto specializes in explosions and increased attacks. Her equipment includes explosive abilities that take advantage of her size, and her agility allows her to be effective in almost any situation.
Tarma Roving is a powerhouse that is constantly in the thick of battle. Most of his attacks are short-range, allowing him to stack dodge. His play style is primarily defensive, but allows for devastating precision strikes.
Fio Germi manipulates the battlefield to her liking and moves allies and enemies with her abilities. She also has solid offensive skills that allow her to emerge quickly when the situation is in her favor.
Trevor Spacey uses top-secret nanotechnology to temporarily control his opponents’ minds. He stalks the battlefield like a ninja, delivering devastating attacks before retreating into the shadows. The more enemies he hits, the more he can reposition himself and strike again!
Nadia Cassel She can rely on her mines to hinder enemy mobility, and the robots she summons can act as decoys, support, or guided bombs. Her immediate damage output is lower than average, but she makes up for it with delayed damage and situational buildup.
Ralph Jones is a mobile brawler who does his best as he charges into enemy lines like a raging bull: he can gain bonus actions when he defeats enemies using his special abilities, stacking fragment after fragment.
Clark Still is a defensive melee character who repositions enemies with throwing abilities. Like his fellow Ikari warrior Ralf, he does his best when up close and personal, using melee attacks that weaken his enemies and neutralize their cover bonuses.
Leona Heidern Each time she syncs, she leaves lasting images and gradually floods the battlefield with units that can also sync with her allies. Depending on the course of the battle, she can exploit its aftermath offensively or defensively.
We run, we shoot and we get things done
In Metal Slug TacticsThe run ‘n’ gun spirit of the original series is kept alive through a damage reduction mechanic that takes movement and cover into account.
The further your soldiers move, the more evasion points they gain, effectively reducing or even eliminating damage from enemy attacks. If they end their movement in a blue cover space, they gain additional cover points, which are added to the total damage reduction from their dodge.
Once a cover is destroyed, the damage reduction points it provides are also lost. So think twice before ducking behind a bullet-riddled truck (they also have a rude habit of exploding once their hit points are depleted) and keep moving!
Adrenaline: Feel the wave
Running also gives you adrenaline, which enables some of the most impressive abilities your agents can unleash! Maximizing Adrenaline gain with passive abilities like Team Leader (+2 Adrenaline for each sync) and weapon mods like Impressive (+1 Adrenaline each time the weapon kills an enemy) is key to controlling the flow of combat.
For example, Marco’s Determination trait reduces the adrenaline cost of his special abilities by one each time he participates in a sync. Its efficiency trait, on the other hand, grants a bonus action when you activate a special ability that has its cost reduced to zero. Have Marco sync with his teammates often and enjoy free gunslinger mayhem!
Think before you sync
Performing syncs with your allies is essential to defeating the numerous threats Morden puts in your way: for every attack you make – either with your base weapon, your secondary weapon or an adrenaline-pumping skill – every teammate, who has a direct connection to you When you target the enemy you are attacking, he will make a free attack with his base weapon!
Synchronization is an important mechanism that you must master if you want to progress Metal Slug Tactics: Position your soldiers carefully and use battlefield control abilities like Fio’s Nudge and Clark’s Argentine Backbreaker to put your opponents in your team’s crossfire!
Iconic weapons and how to modify them
Metal Slug Tactics contains nine emblematic weapons from the metal snail Universe: Handgun, Knife, Grenade, Shotgun, Heavy Machine Gun, Rocket Launcher, Grenade Launcher, Flamethrower and Laser Rifle – each with their unique perks and utility. As your campaign progresses, you’ll be able to unlock new weapon sets for your teammates, but there’s more!
You can get weapon mods by completing certain missions, and they will be a very important benefit to your progress: from piercing enemies to ignoring cover to simply dealing more damage, dozens of mods are included Metal Slug Tactics which you can choose and mix to maximize your efficiency in battle!
This is a quick breakdown of some of the core mechanics featured in Metal Slug Tactics. Mastering positioning and synchronization, building a cohesive squad, and optimizing your weapons are just the basics! You must sharpen your tactical skills to defeat Morden’s war machines once and for all.
Are you ready? Mission start! Metal Slug Tactics is now available for Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC and with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
