An underrated gem
A colorful arcade offshoot of Lost Planet, this cel-shaded action game blends snappy shooting, dashing, and a supercharged manga vibe. Never released outside Japan, it stayed a mystery to most Western players. Spectacular and fun, it'll win over fans of fast action and bold visual style willing to brave the import.
Is E.X. Troopers still worth playing in 2026?
A Lost Planet spin-off from Capcom, E.X. Troopers swaps military seriousness for a colorful cel-shaded sci-fi world, with snappy real-time action and an unabashed manga tone. The brisk pace, the dazzling art style and the youthful spirit make it a singular gem, kept exclusive to Japan. The simplicity of some mechanics and the language barrier limit access. A delightful curiosity for fans of stylized arcade action and explorers of the lesser-known Capcom catalog.
