Doom Troopers is a side-scrolling shooter adapted from Mutant Chronicles, a 1993 tabletop game by Sweden's Target Games. Developed by Adrenalin Entertainment in 1995, it launched on SNES and Sega Mega Drive.
Set in a resource-depleted, war-torn future, players take on either Mitch Hunter or Max Steiner, two protagonists from opposing factions, fighting the mutant "Dark Legion."
This side-scrolling game features four levels, each split into three sections ending with a boss fight. Players manage limited ammo for multiple weapons. Its high difficulty comes from frequent enemy attacks, low player health, and deadly traps.
Despite flaws in graphics and controls, its unique world and intense combat earn it a spot among retro game fans.
