30 minutes in and it's great.
As someone who's beat the original metal slug games multiple times, I can tell you this is a authentic adaptation. I have always loved Akio's art style and any alternative to cyberpunk is highly appreciated because there's not a whole lot of steampunk games out there, let-alone dieselpunk.

I'd like to make a small correction to some of the other reviews. While this may feel like a FF Tactics Advance adaptation, it really isn't. The strategy of this game is based around movement and snowballing your adrenaline points by aggressive assaults, where FF Tactics is heavily centered on team composition, defensive positioning, and counter striking. But, let me just say, I enjoy both and if you like FF Tactics or Ogre Battle, getting this game is a no brainer for you.
