Play Kaizou Choujin Schbibinman Online

Summary

In "Cyber Citizen Shockman 2: A New Menace"—known in the West simply as Shockman—a mad professor called Doc outfits two elite cyborgs with high‑tech suits and glowing energy‑swords, sending them into a city overrun by relentless machines. The duo battles wave after wave of increasingly tough foes, culminating in a showdown with the furious leader, Dark Skull, in his ominous lair.

Unlike its predecessor, this sequel drops the sword‑centric combat for a Mega‑Buster‑style ranged blaster, turning the action into a fast‑paced shooter. The familiar world‑map, upgrade stations, and hostage rescues vanish, replaced by two dedicated side‑scrolling shooter stages and a tweaked jump mechanic that feels tighter and more responsive.

Originally launched in Japan on April 27 1991, Shockman made its only early Western appearance in 1992 on the TurboGrafx‑16, predating the later Ratalaika re‑releases of the series. Critics were split: Eurogamer gave it a modest 6/10, while French magazine Génération 4 scored it 70%, and Japanese outlets ranged from 4/10 to 8/10, reflecting a mixed but nostalgic reception among retro fans.

Storyline

Kaizou Choujin Schbibinman: A New Menace picks up roughly two years after the events of the original Cyber Citizen Shockman. Arnold has left school and now works as a cook in a local restaurant, while Sonya continues her studies. After the Dark Skull’s defeat, Doc has been warning them of a looming invasion, sending the duo on fruitless searches. One day Doc is kidnapped, revealing that an alien empire under the command of Ryo is preparing to seize Earth.

Adding to the threat are two dark Shockmen, Jeeta and Mue, who possess powers similar to Arnold and Sonya. The pair must rescue Doc, thwart Ryo’s conquest, and survive the assaults of the new villains.
