In this videos you can see Shock Troopers Valley Stage 2 gameplay as I continue my journey with Big Mama on Valley route. br br So there's 8 characters to pick from, each one with unique attributes in terms of speed, gunpower, and special attacks (unlike, say, the Metal Slug games where you have four characters that are identical gameplay-wise). br br After picking your characters, you're then given an option of three routes - Jungle, Valley, or Mountain. br br Each route is completely unique in terms of the levels you play, and after the 3rd stage you're given the option to switch to another route. br br Switching lets you play a "bonus" stage that takes place on a train.
