WTMG’s Leo Faria: “I understand that most of these issues are fixable, and if they end up being patched, I will then firmly advocate for everyone to buy Metal Slug Tactics on the Switch (or the Steam Deck if you have access to one). As for now, however, that’s not it. I love the gameplay loop, the presentation, the perfect mixture of tactical combat with arcade-like sensibilities, but I expected a lot more from this game in this particular platform, which felt like the perfect home for it when it was first announced. Between the terrible performance and lack of touchscreen support, play Metal Slug Tactics elsewhere. It’s still well worth your time. Just not on the Switch.”
