Our take on SHOCK TROOPERS 2nd Squad
The listing foregrounds arcade combat, co-op, and leaderboards, but gives less emphasis to the narrow structure: four selectable mercenaries, mission clearing, and a single conflict against DIO. It presents adjustable settings, but these do not expand the core gameplay loop.
