Mercs
Mercs drops you into a heart-pounding, side-scrolling shoot ’em up inspired by classic run-and-gun hits like Ikari Warriors. You’re an elite anti-terrorism soldier on a high-stakes rescue mission to free a former President from the clutches of a ruthless Central African revolutionary gang. Across eight adrenaline-fueled levels, you’ll blast through enemy lines, dodge incoming fire, and even carve your path by shooting down trees and barricades to keep moving forward.
