poor performance and abandoned by the devs. dont waste your money.

This game has a great concept, but game play is not so great. 1. Game Saves - You cannot save to another slot. You current save is your only save! So there is no going back before a mission. There is no quick save, so if you in the middle of a mission and have to leave the game. You will automatically fail the mission and have to start over. 2. Character Models - Not a large variety, 6 distinctive looking character (4 male / 2 female). Would not be bad if you was not allowed to get more that 6 characters on the team. For me, when you have to replace an injury teammate with look alike, just a different name, it takes away from the game. 3. Heal Time VS Game Play Time - It takes a whole day to partially heal you team members. When you have a group of missions that need to be accomplished in 5 days total. Imagine having to spend two days to fully heal your team after each mission. And not enough money to hire units because you spent most of it on armor and weaponry, you will be bring out partially healed units back on to the field and have to be extra cautious. 4. Camera Angles & Camera Toggle - You restricted to little distance from your unit. So you cannot scan far ahead to…

This game had too many ambitious ideas and not enough essentials. I liked the graphics but they run poorly. It has janky controls and a janky game loop. I can confirm Tiny Mobs shut down the majority of their operations some time in 2016 very shortly after MERCs release. I feel like if they had got their core ideas out there earlier it would have been obvious what was working and what wasn't, but instead you get a bit of a mishmash of stuff that's overwhelmingly excellent and stuff that's janky and only a fraction of it is compelling in any way. Long and heavy tutorial section, on-ramping is tedious.

Had potential but it's abandonware. Just another game that didn't even left early access.

Looking forward for the full release of this creative and interesting game!!

tl;dr - Cripplingly boring and repetitivw. fun for the first 1.5-2 hours. After that, overly redundant and simple. Especially once you get better gear. -- [b] difficulty: [/b] So, not having the options to change the difficulty does make it rough at the start, since you can easily go into a mission you are not ready for. the "threat assesment" isn't so much a warning of how much damage the enemies do so much as it's a heads up on how many enemies you will encounter. .... [b] Controls: [/b] A bit odd, but not clunky as lots of people describe. Just not typical. but can easily perform maneuvers. [b] Camaera: [/b] Camera stays with the squad. when you select both squads it can jump. and it can get stuck in some odd angles at times. Limited range, but u can pan a away from the group for a moment.... think of it as the camera only lets u go so far as fog of war. Not bad, but not great... neutral. [b] graphics [/b] great graphics and visuals. love the map layout as well. And now, back to the difficulty.... it's easy to save money. and once you've got say ... 10k to outfit one soldier, it just gets easier from there. The armor, while helpful, only adds about 10-20% hp via dmg mi…
