Great SNK game... So and So Port

The game is great, but this port has really performance issues. Especially random fps(ain't that great to begin with) drop, input lag.

Not so good port of a Great Game

Great Game from the 90s that is fun and full of Action , if you like run and Gun Games with Nice 2D visuals, Cool characters and lots of piu piu then i highly recommand this one. What i can not recommand is getting it on GoG becouse of the Bad Port, the FPS will frequently drop from 30 to 5 ore 2 especially when theres much going on in the Game and theres imput lag ( becouse of Emulation ) If you can get it somewere else , if you want to get it on GoG ( sale !!! ) just note the high Fps drops and imput lag.

One of SNK's Underrated Best.

If you've ever wondered what Metal Slug would be like, if it was top-down like Commando or Ikari Warriors, well here you go. Several unique characters to choose from, branching paths, lots of fast-paced arcade action and SNK's signature pixel art make this one a winner.

Mercs for Neo Geo

Shock Troopers plays almost like Mercs (Mega Drive) for the Neo Geo. Or maybe an overhead Contra (NES/SNES). Each character has a special bomb attack. Weapon pickups change the basic attacks and deplete, defaulting to the basic gun. Some stages go into a side scrolling vehicular mode. Boss battles involve weak points and waves of enemies. Single player is fun but two player is a blast. Played on Linux Mint with a Logitech F310.
