Product_name Mercs is a fast-paced action game that draws inspiration from Ikari Warriors. You play as an anti-terrorism soldier tasked with rescuing a former President from a Central African revolutionary gang.
The gameplay revolves around shooting your way through eight horizontally scrolling levels, where you must eliminate enemies before they can harm you. At times, you'll need to blast trees and other scenery to progress through the levels.
Strategy is key in Mercs , particularly when it comes to positioning yourself on land versus water. You can hijack vehicles of your foes at certain points, giving you a temporary advantage. As you progress, you'll have access to improved weapons, smart bombs, and energy recharges to collect.
