Released for the Sega Master System, Mercs is a shooter developed by Tiertex and published by SEGA.
It is part of the Mercs series. The series also appears on other systems with Senjou no Ookami II ~ Mercs (Genesis). Tiertex also made Winter Olympics, World Cup USA '94 and Star Wars for the Master System.
Mercs is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
- you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
- you've played the Master System hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you are not a fan of fast-paced aiming and twitch reflexes
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Mercs is like
Shooters are built around aiming and firing, from first-person corridor blasters and light-gun games to run-and-gun stages and multidirectional arcade shooters.
Tip for newcomers: Retro shooters were designed for CRT TVs and original controllers; light-gun games in particular need special hardware or alternative controls on modern screens.
