The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 27 → 0.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

The original game is fun. It has a lot of character. Shock Troopers 2 is from a time where Japanese games featured gratuitous Engrish. It was charming and added to the enjoyment. But this.... Terrible port. Its 'look how they massacred my boy' bad. Not worth the $1.20 I paid for it! Two main issues: - The default resolution is completely borked and won't fit your screen. Taking the game out of windowless doesn't fix it and it won't let you resize the window. You have to go into the options and lower the resolution. Even better: the option you need to select for the changes to take effect is off screen until you successfully change the resolution. - Crippling slow down. This game has quite a few copers claiming, 'DUHHHH, ACHTUALLY, THE ORIGINAL HAD SLOWDOWN TOO" attempting to make people believe it was just as bad. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! Yeah, this game had slowdown and flickering on the original hardware, but it wasn't nearly as bad as this port! The slowdown in this version is Metal Slug 2 bad - which if you're familiar, is really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad. You'd be better off grabbing this game off a ROM site and playing it on a NEO GEO emulator since your choices are give at most $8 to people who obviously didn't give a ♥♥♥♥ about the game or nothing to enthusiasts who are trying to preserve the arcade experience. Will I get into trouble for saying this? Maybe. The people who expelled this out of their colon deserve nothing this port is so criminally bad. This game is legitimately a banger. I'd describe it as Ikari Warriors' retarded kid brother. Simpler and less serious. Not afraid to embarrass itself. Lacking features it was seemingly designed around like a rotary stick. You wouldn't know it playing the Steam version though. If you NEED to buy this game, buy the Hamster port on any video game console. They usually (not always) give a damn.

我想起那天夕阳下的奔跑,那是我逝去的青春
If you're having slowdowns try this tip: - Turn OFF Video Filtering - Play on 4:3 Aspect Ratio - Turn OFF Scanlines or set it to 50% only - Stop shooting/Shoot less when evading enemy bullets Even so, i did encounter a sound bug/glitch during the latter half of my online session with a friend where the sound suddenly disappeared on my part. Other than that it's fine, GLHF.
играть неприятно эта гнида просто лагает
Una secuela esencialmente ajena (No me gustó, pero tampoco es todo terrible, lo aclaro para quienes no se den la molestia de leer la reseña completa): He aquí la saga Shock Troopers regresando con una continuación directa, pero con otros personajes y trama. - Lo bueno: Al igual que en el primer juego, los personajes jugables tienen mucho contraste entre sí, no es lo mismo usar a un personaje que a otro. Incluso tienen más contraste aquí, pese a que son 4 personajes y no 8. No solo las bombas, pues poseen distinto tipo de disparo y hasta ahora, tienen estadísticas, además de tener voces y frases propias como los personajes el primero. Aquí los enemigos, también sueltan items cuando los matas con melé o combate cercano, y aquí sí que hay que atreverse mucho, muchos puntos, salud, bombas, y hasta mejoras para el arma principal, con un máximo de 3 niveles (considerando que aquí la acción es mucho más frenética que en el anterior, sería imperativo melear siempre que se pueda. Tenemos lo de alternar niveles, aunque solo desde la segunda a la tercera misión, pero la opción está. Y la música también me parece destacable, incluso me gustó más que la del primero, o por lo menos, la música de la primera misión, la del primer jefe y la de la cuarta misión. Ahora se pueden montar vehículos, como en Metal Slug. - Lo malo: Empezando por, probablemente, el cambio más polémico: los diseños. Personalmente, me agradaron y no me parecen malos, pero sí que pareciera otro juego y no como el primer Shock Troopers, pese a que mantienen parte de las bases en el gameplay. Estos diseños podrían funcionar en otro contexto o saga, de verdad se extraña la estética realista y semi-caricaturesca (En las expresiones faciales y corporales). Como dije, la acción es mucho más frenética, pero a expensas de, a mi parecer, el mayor defecto de este juego: ¡SU DIFICULTAD EXAGERADÍSIMA, INCLUSO EN LA MÁS FÁCIL!. En serio, en el primer juego, la dificultad estaba más balanceada, en comparación, pero aquí se pasaron y ya se requeriría muchísimo entrenamiento para terminar el juego sin morir ni una vez, incluso más que el Metal Slug 2/X y 3 combinados. Pareciera que lo establecieron así para que los jugadores de máquinas de arcade les inviertan más créditos para seguir jugando. Me recordó al juego de arcade de Jurassic Park del 94. Sé que esto no es molesto por jugar en dispositivo más moderno en lugar de arcade, por la opción de poder usar CONTINUE cuanto quieras, pero eso no quita que el juego peca de ser injusto en este aspecto. Pero igualmente, le perdonaría todos estos reparos.... ¡SI TAN SOLO NO SE REINICIARA EL PUNTAJE LUEGO DE USAR CONTINUE!, con eso, el juego ya me perdió. y supongo que existirán otros juegos de arcade que hacen esto mismo, pero si la dificultad es muy Tryhard, no hay excusa. - EN RESUMEN: un juego en el que me veo con sentimientos encontrados. Si bien podemos rescatar la variedad, el frenesí, el desafío y la música, los defectos que considero graves, me hacen preferir el primer juego. Por mi parte, a gusto jugando el primero, pero en todo caso, no soy nadie para obligar a que no jueguen este (Decisión de cada uno). Igual lo pueden disfrutar por el desafío y haciendo mucho puntaje, pero asegúrense de no usar CONTINUE. PD: Leon me recuerda, entre a Gordon Freeman y al Vardoc1 XD
Muy lindo juego. Parece un arcade común, pero es un bullet hell. Las animaciones y el arte son geniales. Lástima que está mal porteado y se ralentiza seguido, parece injugable. Por esa sola razón no lo recomiendo.
I'll go against the grain and say this is a fine way to play Shock Troopers: 2nd Squad. I'm iffy about the Dotemu ports, but this one feels pretty accurate to the arcade version of this game with the slowdown. It's hard not to recommend this game at a deep discount. It is the easiest way to play with a friend.
Dios mío, el port es tan malo que no vale la pena pagar para poder jugarlo mejor ponlo por el Jack sparrow. Caídas de FPS, errores de sonido, mala conexión de los servidores.
