METAL SLUG TACTICS: PATCH 1.0.2
Greetings, Peregrine Falcons!
We’ve just deployed a fresh patch for Metal Slug Tactics on Steam! This update is all about bug fixes, balancing tweaks, performance boosts, and quality-of-life enhancements to make your tactical battles smoother and more exciting than ever.
Here’s what’s included in this update:

Reworked Clark’s Argentine Backbreaker to differentiate it from Stargazer. Now Clark
rushes towards the enemy before hurling them.

grants currency rewards, and then takes you back to the Character Selection screen.

Rebind for cursor superposition cycling added. Default keys: page up/page down
Protect Miners is now easier for the first 3 difficulties, lowered the count of required miners to be kept alive to complete the mission
