About the game
==============

Directed by Hakkyu Kim, later of Ragnarok fame, it's a sequel to Antman, based on a popular (for its time) Korean manga. The game was also published in German speaking countries under a budget model, and is quite difficult to find nowadays.

Whether Antman 2 is a shameless clone of, or a heartfelt homage to Gunstar Heroes and Metal Slug is a question you won't have time to ask yourself when dealing with the game's frantic pace. A single or 2-player simultaneous shooter, Antman 2 takes pride in its inspirations, with its main characters capable of using multiple weapons, special moves and grabbing and throwing enemies. While the core mechanics remind one of Treasure's masterpiece, the visuals are a clear nod to Metal slug, and even power-ups are gained by saving hostages. While it never reaches the heights of its forefathers, and feels a bit unpolished at times, it's still a fun title and one of the best examples of original Korean-made games. Even the bosses wink at Contra Hard Corps' mechanized nightmares, which is always a plus.

Enjoy!
