Metal Slugs is my favorite arcade series from childhood. They always cost a dollar for 3 lives while all the other games were 25cents to 50cents for the popular ones. Despite its high price it always had kids dropping all their money and crowd’s watching. It was just too pretty to look away. Then in highschool the pizza place by my school had MS X and a few other games on the MVS. Needless to say I have been very hyped for this because tactical RPGs are another favorite of mine. I thought it was cancelled for the longest. Day 1 digital, and again physical!

Three bits from me: 1. Fio looking absolutely shredded in her new art. 2. There is clearly space in the base screen and on the squad menu for more characters. Ralf & Clark for sure (the weight training machine and lifting mat area for them). I see bananas and a gun on the ground, so Utan. Maybe Trevor, Nadia, and Leona as well? 3. Looks like variations on characters will exist too. On the base screen when they highlight Fio and Marco you see a listing for "Fio Classic" and "Marco Classic" above abilities. Maybe they get different appearances that give different abilities too?

Yeah a big factor of what i think makes the tactics genre work is thoughtfully crafted maps. In a roguelike you'll just get randomized enemies/placements with high stats. Itll be about resource management and attrition. Thats not particularly interesting for me. As an optional mode i could see some value. As like post game content after a strong single player campaign But if wishes were fishes the world would be an ocean and all that
