SNK’s Mobile Metal Slug SRPG

SNK is converting The King of Fighters into a shooting game. Bizarre, but far from the first franchise SNK shoehorned into a different genre.

A few weeks ago SNK slipped Metal Slug Tactics onto mobile phones. The battle scenes make the game look a lot like Advance Wars with Metal Slug sprites. Also similar is a cash system where players build their army by spending cash and selecting 90 kinds of units. Not exactly original, but not bad for a little mobile phone game either.
