About Mercs
Assemble a team of mercenaries and challenge the computer or another player in a quick turn-based battle. Unlock new mercs, find the best skill combos, and watch your adorable tiny soldiers blow themselves up in a variety of hex-mapped, low-poly environments.
Key Features:
- Merc selection: assemble your squad from a selection of unique mercenaries, each of whom brings to the team 3 skills and a passive trait. Unlock new mercs by winning battles.
- Tactical challenges: take advantage of cover to keep your mercs alive, capture objectives to gain Action Points that can be spent to activate their skills, complete specific mission objectives to win.
- No luck involved: attacks always hit, skills always work in a predictable way. Games are won by outthinking the opponent, not by luck.
- Random board generation: different environments and randomly generated terrain ensure that no two battles are the same.
- Game modes: play against the computer in single player mode, or against another player in local and online multiplayer.

You earn victory points by reaching your goals. The person with the most victory points at the end will win the game. You get to deploy your Mercs at the beginning of a level… Each level has 10 turns, and you need to reach your goal in those allowed turns. When you begin each level, you can select from various Mercs, with some that need to be unlocked. In the beginning, you can choose from 4 different Mercs. Each turn, your Mercs can move one hex block. Each Merc has different skills that can be used. You are allowed to only use the same skill per turn on one enemy unit. Some skills cannot be used after movement, while oth…11 found this helpful
Mmmhhh... Of course not! I cannot recommend in this state, even if EA. 1. where's the zoom? Units too small, as well as descriptions of units. 2. AI thinking... thinking... very much: over 180/240 seconds! I hope that the developers work well, because the game has potential.4 found this helpful
Interesting concept that I've seen in other games before. Personally, I'm not into this style but I'd recommend it to friends that like this strategy type of game.2 found this helpful
