SHOCK TROOPERS is a top down arcade shooter from SNK. As you can see it comes with a nice 16-Bit type pixelgraphics. And it is action packed, many sprites on the screen with firey explosions and sound effects that i heard in Starcraft. This recording is my first time playing this game.
It's really great, that it gives you unlimited tries (at least on easy), so that you can peak ahead what comes. But Goal of the Game is to learn it, so that you know where the enemies come from, the pattern they move and shoot, so that you can stay alive for longer and longer, until you can play through such a game without a continue. At the end of the Game you even get a Global Ranking screen, so you get motivated to play through the game multiple times to increase your score.

Also you can go for three different routes and you can even change the route in the end.
There are eight different character you can choose from and each character got different stats for the movement speed, firepower and special (Bomb) attack. So even if you die, you can change your character and try something new. If you like, you can also go in with a Team, that all share the same healthpool, but if you feel like, your fast character doesn't pull out enough damage, you can switch your character to one that is more suitable for the situation.

I didn't try it, but i bet that the game is way more fun, to play it in multiplayer mode, so that your best buddy and you can mow down enemy soldiers and keep each others back safe.
