Metal Slug Tactics is what happens when you take a long-running 2D run-and-gun shooter from SNK and then turn it into a turn-based aggression-focused gameplay.

Thankfully, ESO changed up their payment model and g...

If it weren't for game director Hajime Tabata's work in Square Enix, the past Final Fantasy games wouldn't have gone down the action RPG route for good or ill.
