The Lost Battalion: All Out Warfare, developed by Jake Olson and published by My Way Games, is a small-scale side-scrolling shooter that attempts to capture the grit and chaos of World War I through the lens of old-school arcade action.

Fun game, could you please add a sensitivity option? However, the game is a poor version of Metal Slug. What could improve it is using that game as a reference, which would make it something unique.

love it super 2003 coded especcally for 63 cents
