The evil robot Dark Skull has escaped Doc's control and now threatens to destroy the city with his army of evil robots. Tasuke and Kyapiko, Doc's newest creations, are the only ones who can put an end to his plans.
Shockman is a 2D side-scrolling action platformer. You play as either Tasuke or Kyapiko, trying to defeat Dark Skull 's forces using your blade and cyborg-powers. The game starts in a city-map where you select which stage to tackle next. Each stage features a hostage and a boss cyborg that must be defeated. Completing these objectives rewards you with money to take back to "Doc" for upgrades, which will help you progress towards the final battle.
