I grew up on Metal Slug. Played them a lot with my brother. I've been pretty keen for this.

[Vortyrion]

I really like those combos of initial thoughts +100% reviews

[lordneojacks]

bruh i completely ignored this game but the simply fact of seeing metal slug art looking THIS GOOD makes me so excited to jump onboard. it really has metal slug vibes!!

[gloth]

Even more surprising than mort not having played metal slug is that there is a turned based tactics metal slug :D :D
Btw I remember playing those and loving them... lore/story wise... I didn't even knew there was such a thing in metal slug :P

[animusdx]

Hm, I wasn't expecting this to be a roguelike.

[razvanambarus]

That mechanical sandworm s design is fabulous.

[RobVespa]

Ha. I did not see this one coming. This looks great. Thanks for sharing and putting this on my radar! Love the art style. All the best.

All you need to know about MS lore is that Fio is bae.

[javiernovoa]

Been looking forward to this one for a while. Excited for the full review

Metal slug having way more game then you expect is actually very classic Metal Slug

0:51 Metal Slug were a bunch of arcade games, they appeared sort of in the late stages of arcades, the first one releasing in 1996 (which I mean... Isn't the latest but IMO it's not in the height of the arcades either). There were 7 games released for arcades (one of them being an enhanced version of the second game), the last one, 6, appearing in 2006 (it's the only one I've never seen in an arcade). Then the last game, 7, was released for the DS. They got ported to a bunch of systems over the years because in the late 90s they were super popular (it's one of the franchise that always had at least one game in every arcade I ever went and if you ask people my generation what their favourite arcade was growing up, I think Metal Slug will be up there as the most common response). It's had some spin offs over the years but none of them have been, as far as I know, particularly popular.

During the PS2 era they tried to turn them into 3D games but the one they did was apparently terrible, saw no success, and they never tried it again. But that's about the only exclusive Metal Slug the PS2 had (it had ports of some of the arcade games tho), so I don't really know where you read the relation between that console and this franchise.

0:33 You didn’t 100% it in a couple of days? WOW, Mort. Shame on you.

I used to play Metal Gear Slug only when in arcades. One time I had gone so far in the game that the arcade owner gave me a bunch of tokens for free and started watching the game. One of the produest moments of my childhood

[Erosgates]

Man. Metal Slug arcade cabinets used to be everywhere..

[Belgarathe]

Excited that it finally coming out and that you are covering it. I tried to play the demo on steam deck but unfortunately the demo wasn’t tuned for steam deck control meaning that you need to use mouse point and click. Hopefully they fixed this since this is supposed to be to be available for switch. Can you also comment about the cover system and if it annoying that it doesn’t matter which side of the cover you are at. Also comment about if on higher floor can you shoot down or up to different floor/level. Looking forward to your full review

[rafaelsousa]

This game is reminding me a lot of Into the Breach. If you've never played it I heavily recommend it. It's tricky at first, but when it clicks it'll make you feel really smart.

[cbear]

Was thinking this was going to be like the old games. Not sure the type of name of it but you had different units and would have certain weakness kinda like in risk and just battled it out

[AlwaysLoudAA]

Looks awesome. will probably pick it up. Hopefully runs well on steam deck.

[ceno]

this has been on my wishlist since it was announced at the game awards 2 years ago. Finally it is here, so I will be playing this tonight while I stress over the election.

I played the arcade games in time to time while waiting for pizza or something in my college town. I always enjoyed the arcade version… This looks pretty cool. The artwork is spot on and mummies always really sucked in the arcade game too, so I guess they were consistent there… I’ll probably, wait for a sale on this one, but I’ll definitely plan in someday.
