Mercenary Force is an unusual shoot'em up set in Japan's Edo period and inspired by Japanese history and mythology. When Japan is invaded by the minions of a dark lord, the shogun sets out to hire the best warriors in the land to combat the enemy.

Players start with 5000 yen and must begin by hiring their mercenaries. The team has four slots and can be recruited from five different character types (servant, ninja, monk, samurai and mystic) in any combination (including more than one of any character). Each character differs in hiring price, starting health, weapons (amount of projectiles, speed and direction), and their special attack. The game consists of six levels, seen from an angled top-down/side-view perspective, with the screen scrolling automatically to the right.

The mercenaries must shoot hordes of enemies to get to the next level, including several bosses. They can change their formation between four different options: a vertical line, a diamond shape, a square shape and a horizontal arrowhead formation. It is also possible to switch the character in the lead position, leading to a large variety of tactical options.
