Publisher: SNK
Released: 1998
Shock Troopers: 2nd Squad is a run 'n' gun title and the follow-up to the 1997 Neo Geo MVS original.
+ Gritty, atmospheric world design, and the epic bosses play like a bullet-hell shooter.+ The new ability to commandeer vehicles is a neat touch that opens up combat possibilities.
+ Pre-rendered graphics and rotation effects are otherworldly, and character animation is more fluid than the original.
- However, the animation causes a slower pace and you can't dodge as quickly due to having to wait for the frames to cycle.
- Character movement feels very stiff and the amount of slowdown from the get-go is absurd.
- No memorable set-pieces and the action repeats ad nauseum without introducing anything new to engage players.
- The number of playable characters has been halved and the Team Battle mode is no longer an option.
