Project Details
What can I say? Metal Slug. That’s enough, right?
I love every corner of gaming, but retro gaming is where my heart truly lives. Fresh off working on the incredible Contra: Operation Galuga, you can imagine my thrill when Dotemu asked if I’d like to work on Metal Slug Tactics! I’d previously had the privilege of working with Dotemu on the R-Type mobile project, an experience I still can’t quite believe I was part of.
I’ve been collecting Metal Slug games in every form for years, Neo Geo MVS, AES, and countless home conversions. I’ve got them all. So, having the chance to put my name on even a small part of this series filled me with more joy than words can express.
We wanted the project to scream retro, so the goal was to craft UI elements with a chunky, retro-military vibe that meshed seamlessly with the jaw-dropping illustrations and pixel art.
Working on this was an absolute dream.
Huge thanks to Dotemu and SNK!
