The select button allows switching between characters.
Unlike the Amiga original, the controls feel fast and responsive in this port, and the in-room movement is inverted, which makes more sense. However, I still can't seem to switch between assault officers and snipers, which is a bit disappointing.
This port looks pretty good, and the music is a great recreation of the cool Amiga music. However, the first mode is fiendishly difficult, you seemingly get killed by a single shot. Also, I couldn't find a way to swap between team members once I started the incursion, which maybe robs the game of a bit of tactical agency.
