Shellshock is an action game released in 1996 for the PlayStation, developed by Core Design Ltd and published by U.S. Gold / Eidos Interactive.

Core Design Ltd also made Ninja: Shadow of Darkness for the PS1.
Shellshock is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
- you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
- you've played the PS1 hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you prefer slow, thoughtful games over reflex tests
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Shellshock is like
Action games test reflexes and nerve. Expect fast enemies, tight controls and stages you clear by reacting quickly and learning enemy patterns.
Tip for newcomers: Retro action games are often short but tough. Treat early deaths as practice runs; every attempt teaches you where the next threat comes from.
