Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
The sequel to Shock Troopers is, at it's core, a modern take on games like Ikari Warriors and Mercs, albeit one with updated graphics and audio.
Choosing from one of four different characters, players must complete a series of highly challenging levels, taking out battalions of enemy troops, vehicles and formidable end-of-level bosses. Defeated enemies will occasionally leave power-ups behind, and most levels feature pilotable vehicles which can give you the edge in combat when commandeered.
One feature which differentiates the game somewhat is the dodge mechanic which allows you to somersault out of the way of enemy fire. Considering the later levels turn into a bullet-hell nightmare, this is a move you'll be using a awful lot.
Shock Troopers: 2nd Squad is an entertaining top-down shooter. The range of characters and choice of path through the game means the game has plenty of longevity. I think I still prefer Mercs, thanks to its faster pace, but this isn't a bad alternative.
