Description
"Acid's satisfying turn-based strategy is a great fit for Metal Gear's trademark high presentation values and quirky narrative style." - [GameSpot (http://www.gamespot.com/)]
Metal Gear Acid is a turn based strategy game. Much in the same essence of titles such as "Final Fantasy Tactics", "Ogre Battle", "Fire Emblem", or "Final Fantasy Tactics Advance".
Movement and attacks are controlled by cards, but Metal Gear Acid is not a card game. The cards are much less of a focus than on a game similar to "Pokemon: The Trading Card Game". In fact, Metal Gear Acid shares no similarities with any "card game" style games, at all.
Metal Gear Acid is very addictive and requires players to complete not on regular mission objectives but also arbitrary hidden tasks. After each mission, which is laid out for you, you get ranked on an A, B, C, style system, with a lower letter meaning a lower performance. Your rank can net you new "cards" to add to your "deck".
You get special points for not being seen, not killing guards, and things that you would normally relate to the Metal Gear franchise. Metal Gear Acid upholds the spirit of it's predecessors, while bravely forging a new route that many people may not have seen coming from Konami. Incorporating turn based strategy adds a layer of play to Metal Gear that is refreshing and rewarding. There probably isn't a better way to put stealth, action, and strategy in to your pocket than Metal Gear Acid.

Easter Eggs
