* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: The leader of the Bloody Scorpions talks about keeping the world out of the hands of those who are incompetent, but Cecilia does not believe any of this and even protests that forcing her grandpa to create the α301 drug will result in the world's destruction. Towards the end, it becomes more and more clear that the leader is nothing more than a selfish man pursuing his own gain.

The first game of ''VideoGame/ShockTroopers'' from ''Creator/{{SNK}}'', a MultinationalTeam of eight commandos, each with different stats and special weapons, must fight against the evil forces of [[WesternTerrorists The Bloody Scorpion Group]]. Their leader, the fearsome... [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Leader]], has kidnapped Cecilia, the granddaughter of a famous scientist, George, in order to force him to work for them. The player can choose only one of the commandos (and start with more health) or [[TagTeam a team of three]] (and have more combat options) to switch between on the fly. The game has three level routes and you are given the chance to switch from one to another mid-way through the game.
