Gameplay Trailer
Neat.
Nice to finally have a store page!
An excellent, interesting addition to the franchise's catalogue. On the wish list. At last a tactical game of this style (which is what I like). :)
Awesome !
The evil place apparently has a demo. I've a friend that says it's really good.
I really don't want to be "that guy" but ...

Is there a story-based explanation why the "heroes" fight with tanks (!) against sword-wielding arab/ beduin stereotyped enemies (first screenshot) and with laser guns (!) against mask-wearing indigenous people (second screenshot)?
high rated
I was about to leave a positive comment. I swear to Valen I was.

But of course (say it with me, folks)... it's a roguelike! YAAAAY!

Racism, would be the easy answer.

The more nuanced and complicated answer... we actually have to go back in time quite many years, back when Adam still hadn't given the apple to Eve or was it the other way around, and climb our way up from there to the current Israel-Palestinian conflict and the rights of the non-binary Sami people.

So, it is quite complicated.

As for the game itself. the trailer does look neat, and I adore the Metal Slug arcade games. Wishlisted and notify me'ed.

They're evil arab and indigenous people, it's okay to wipe them out

My Middle Eastern side approves of this.

More Metal slug is always a good thing.
On the wishlist it goes...
