Metal Slug Tacticsfeatures a large cast of playable characters from across the franchise with plenty of familiar faces. While the squad formation is limited to three characters at a time, players can choose between a variety of characters to mix and match their abilities for the perfect squad that caters to their playstyle. Here is how you can unlock all the characters in Metal Slug Tactics and experiment with new team formations.
Unlocking Characters in Metal Slug Tactics
There are a total of nine playable characters in Metal Slug Tactics, each with their unique core abilities, active and passive skills, and loadouts. Unlocking each character usually boils down to completing a successful run while unlocking different regions along the way.
This is quite similar to how unlocking new characters works in other rogue-lites as well, and here’s a breakdown of the conditions that need to be met to unlock each character in Metal Slug Tactics.
Overall, most characters will be unlocked through natural progression and experimentation with squad lineups. It’s a great way to incentivize players to try out new strategies because each character brings something new to the table. Similarly, new loadouts for each character can be unlocked by beating the game with them in the squad.
