It's top-down Metal Slug. Metal Slug is good. Shock Troopers is good. Go play Shock Troopers.
edit - After playing Shock Troopers 1 and I can conclude the other one is indeed much closer to Metal Slug and also better
That said I don't get why people say this one's garbage. Even if it's not as stylistically good it still plays pretty well

Superior to Battle Network 4 in most gameplay terms but carries many of the same problems along with new ones. There's so much repetition to the game loop and locking events behind times and dates is just a hassle through emulation.
Also the 'real operation' mechanics are flat-out terrible, there's luckily mods that let you play with the classic battle formula but it ends up feeling kinda hollow?

Perfectly solid mechanics with no real hook. It plays fine but with so little variety to course design and a pretty low challenge, it honestly just felt... boring. I wonder if these devs went on to make Neo Turf Masters later: Irem staff did form Nazca later and there's a few similarities in the presentation, putting and characters w/ individual stats.
