When you die you return to a nearby infirmary and then have to fight back to wherever you died this is pretty normal. There are a grip of unique enemies to this game but for whatever reason they really liked to repeat a few over and over while others only got a few showings. But man oh man It was easy to get burnt out especially on some of the harder to find items (or if it was a difficult boss drop). I get that in these type of games the difficulty is based on your ability to find the items you need to make the weapons you want or upgrade your armor. Playing online is a blast, but really, getting 4 friends together to murder the shit outta things really brings back some old school memories. Of course if you find yourself stuck you can always jump online and this is where Mercenary Kings Reloaded truly shines…its 4 player mayhem. Thankfully the levels are designed and flow very well, the down side being that their are only 9 different levels with 5 of them used more heavily than others…with over 100 missions to play you can see how playing the same maps over and over can get stale especially as you start to repeat missions to collect more and more resources. Not to say that having an increase in difficulty is bad, it just felt off and messed with the pacing, plus it forced me to do the one thing I hate in these types of games…grind old levels. With this much customization you will for sure find a gun or type that works best for you, however 99% of the game will be spent constantly struggling to update and customize as the game ramps up significantly in difficulty about 2/3rds through.
For guns your arsenal can range from single shot poison hand guns to full auto Cryo-freezing missiles, while Knives can take range from pizza cutters to electrified tridents. Weapons take center stage and truly are the main focus for everything you do within the game. Gameplay: Different from Metal Slug, Mercenary Kings Reloaded Edition focuses a little more on an RPG element with the ability to upgrade your weapon and armor. With excellent pixelated graphics and sounds Mercenary Kings nails that tribute exceptionally well, right down to the clunky controls and repetitiveness. Mercenary Kings at its heart is a through and through homage to the old Metal Slug titles made very popular in arcades back in the 90s.
Back for another round Mercenary Kings Reloaded Edition added some much needed new flavor to the titles previous entry, however was it enough to warrant a return?
