Mercs is a classic top-down run-and-gun shooter brought to the Sega Master System. Originally an arcade hit by Capcom, this 8-bit port puts you in the boots of a highly trained counter-terrorism soldier dropped behind enemy lines. Your mission is to blast through hordes of enemy troops, commandeer vehicles, and rescue a captured former president. Along the way, you can upgrade your firepower with assault rifles, shotguns, and flamethrowers to survive the intense action.
How to Play
Navigate the battlefield and eliminate enemy forces while avoiding incoming fire. Use your standard weapon to shoot and deploy devastating screen-clearing bombs when overwhelmed. On the Sega Master System, use the D-pad (Arrow keys) to move, Button 1 (Z) to shoot, and Button 2 (X) to use a bomb. Press Start (Enter) to begin.
Tips
- Save your bombs: Megacrash bombs are limited and best kept for tough boss encounters or when you are completely trapped.
- Grab vehicles: You can hijack enemy jeeps and tanks to gain extra armor and heavier firepower.
- Watch your flanks: Enemies can spawn from all sides, including behind you. Keep moving to avoid getting pinned down.
