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

What players say
