Metal Slug Tactics is what happens when you take a long-running 2D run-and-gun shooter from SNK and then turn it into a turn-based aggression-focused gameplay.

In 2014, Bethesda released the Elder Scrolls Online to indifference and mild fanfare. Given that it was a triple-A level paid mass multiplayer online role-playing game with a subscription service, most fans of the genre would rather play World of WarCraft and Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.

Management games based on the video games industry are nothing new -see SeGaGaGa and Game Dev Story. But a management sim based on a fictional game maker working on a mass multiplayer online role-playing game where you can see how your game plays? And control how things go online and live? And also having an investor lording over you and happens to...
If it weren't for game director Hajime Tabata's work in Square Enix, the past Final Fantasy games wouldn't have gone down the action RPG route for good or ill. His claim to fame was Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII on the PlayStation Portable, and with that he's been instrumental in shaping Square Enix's major games for a good while up until Final Fa...
The many indie game developers of Southeast Asia weren't the only ones happy during MDEC's Level UP KL SEA Game Awards 2024 event.

Oh, and also being instrumental in the making of ...
Correction: We credited Rovio as a developer of the title in the previous article. That part has been updated as Rovio is handling the marketing while Sega is developing the title. Kakuchopurei regrets the error. If possible, any giant company worth their salt would want to make a multiplayer battle royale-type game with multiple game modes and ...
