Metal Slug has returned, but it is a very different game now. Announced during Summer Game Fest's kickoff stream, Metal Slug Tactics is a turn-based tactical strategy game from SNK that resembles Fire Emblem as much as Metal Slug--less "pew pew" and more "think think."

The latest in the very long-running Metal Gear series, Metal Slug Tactics retains the game's classic Neo Geo pixel art style, but it appears to also make use of fully animated cinematics. Destructible environments can be used to get the edge on your enemy.

Metal Slug Tactics will feature skill trees and perks along with an adrenaline system that you can use to get the edge on some of the game's more dangerous enemies. It also includes roguelite elements, so you'll have to be at your very best or risk losing some of your progress.
