    2nd Squad takes some things away from the first Shock Troopers, but adds some elements of its own. The result is a game that’s either better or worse, depending on your own personal taste. Regardless of that, both games are underrated shooters that are packed with action, and instead of choosing between them, fans of old-school run ‘n’ gun games should really consider adding both to their Switch library.

The 4 playable characters all feel quite different, and there are vehicles to pilot in this second installment which is an improvement over the first Shock Troopers game. Unfortunately though, the first game is superior in a number of key areas. 2nd Squad suffers from significant slowdown issues when the action gets hectic. On my first playthrough the game actually glitched out and forced a 'Neo Geo reboot' because the action was too intense! The first Shock Troopers also offers a bit more replay value with 3 paths to chose instead of two. 2nd Squad is still a good game, and one worth picking up on sale, but I definitely prefer the first one and recommend you play this one first if you are deciding between the two.… Expand

    Shock Troopers: 2nd Squad is a huge disappointment when compared to its excellent predecessor. On its own, it is a decent but forgettableShock Troopers: 2nd Squad is a huge disappointment when compared to its excellent predecessor. On its own, it is a decent but forgettable top-down run-and-gun action game, overloaded with pre-rendered 3-D style sprites and backgrounds, a la Donkey Kong Country or Killer Instinct. The look is very dated and has not aged well, along with the straightforward soundtrack. Play the superior first game in the series instead.… Expand
