What is M.E.R.C.?
An Early Access tactical strategy game set in Neotopia, a cyberpunk city divided by corporate corruption, where your mercenaries fight the Manta force. Across story and side missions, you direct a four-person squad into cover, choose targets, and activate special abilities. Between deployments, you recruit and train troops and buy weapons and gear.
For you if...
- +you want online co-op with each player contributing mercenaries
- +you like developing soldiers through classes and skill trees
Not for you if...
- −you prefer turn-based combat over issuing orders in real time
- −you want adjustable difficulty settings for easing into missions
