Dotemu has finally lifted the curtain on the highly anticipated release date for Metal Slug Tactics. This intricate strategy game won’t only feature characters and Slugs from the iconic series, but will also delight fans by incorporating characters from the Ikari Warriors series as well. Lovers of console and PC games can look forward to experiencing this unique crossover on November 5, 2024.
A sneak peek of the exciting gameplay has been provided through a launch trailer that promises to exhibit just what fans can expect from this eagerly awaited game.

Clark Still, Leona Heidern, and Ralf Jones might ring bells of familiarity not only for Ikari Warriors fanatics but also for those who enjoyed The King of Fighters. All three characters are set to take on individual roles within Metal Slug Tactics, each offering players a unique strategic advantage and gameplay experience.
Clark Still, evidently a force to be reckoned with, steps into the game as a character who specializes in manipulating enemy positions whilst conjuring various status effects. An intriguing sequence at the 15-second mark of the trailer releases a snippet of his engrossing gameplay – a gripping mix of attacks with both gun and knife. This high-octane section concludes with Clark mid-action, skillfully launching an enemy behind him towards an ally after his attack.
Next, at the heart mark of the trailer, follows Leona Heidern. True to her character, her portion kicks off with her maneuvering a successful attack with a firearm to defeat an enemy, followed by the fascinating apparition of a copy of herself in the fallen enemy’s spot. Additionally, she showcases a destructive Area of Effect (AOE) attack, leaving the effected tiles engulfed in fiery chaos. The trailer also provides a glimpse of the unique strategic gameplay with clones assisting in the attacks.
Wrapping the highlight reel is the action-packed gameplay of the third Ikari Warrior, Ralf Jones. Ralf’s proficiency in close-range knife battles is beautifully captured on the maps. His gameplay is accentuated by a barrage of fire-based Area of Effect attacks, targeting enemies in his vicinity. A spellbinding clip towards the end of the footage captures an electrifying Ralf finisher where he simultaneously targets four enemies gathered around him.
Metal Slug Tactics evidently adds a fresh, strategic twist to the classic arcade shooter style, promising fans of the series and newcomers alike a captivating experience. The lavishly detailed trailer teases a meticulous blend of beloved characters from both Metal Slug and Ikari Warriors series.
