Good game for co-op in remote play, but it gets boring quickly.

I got this game with the Neo Geo bundle and went in with no expectations.
I had no idea it even existed. Fantastic game!

Having been an avid gamer for over 40 years.I find myself asking how Ive never played this game before.

Shock Troopers always felt like the natural progression from games like Commando, Ikari Warriors and Mercs. My local arcade had the Neo Geo cabinet, and I spent plenty of time (and credits) trying to complete it. It had a stylish look for the time and a variety of playable characters and paths.
It’s a tough game, but that difficulty is part of its charm. Playing it today on something like the Steam Deck means you can easily enjoy playing it on the go, and the gameplay still holds up really well. Shock Troopers was and still is one of the best in the genre and one of my favourite Neo Geo games of all time.

Friggin' fun game with decent replay value due to different characters, each with slightly different endings and three level paths. Bought it for remote play, but couldn't get that to work. Still a great buy on sale. Haven't had any issues with crashes like other people seem to be mentioning.

This is a run and gun game, it will be fun if you play with friends. The achievements are not too hard to get but it will take a lot of time. I got all the achievements after 10 hours of playing the game. Have fun.

I actually encountered no issues regarding the emulator. No annoying slow down on explosions etc.
Game is fun.
