Metal Slug Tactics

This is a strategy role-playing game in which players control small soldiers through tactical battles against rebels. From a top-down perspective, players move small units around grid-like battlefields while selecting attack moves from a menu. Cartoony characters use guns, knives/swords, tanks, and battle mechs to attack enemies and boss machines. Combat is highlighted by brief gunfire, small explosions, and cries of pain. Some attacks (i.e., thrown swords) result in small splashes of stylized blood that quickly disappear.
