Game: Mercs
System: Sega Genesis
Version: (US)
This is the longplay of the game Mercs, an action and run and gun game initially released in Arcades and soon after on home consoles. This is the Sega Genesis version, released in 1991 in Japan (where it was called Senjō no Ōkami II - 戦場の狼II, Wolf of the Battlefield II), in the United States and in Europe.
The premise of this game is quite simple and straightforward: just move forward (vertically) and place your finger on enemy soldiers. Mercs is similar to the action films that were hugely successful in the 80s, such as Die Hard, Commando and Rambo. This Mega Drive version has two modes: Original and Arcade, each with a lot of differences between them, both in gameplay and in story. In Original mode, the story revolves around the fight against a dictatorial government, which is assembling a powerful military arsenal made up of long-range missiles and you need to prevent these weapons from being used for evil. Arcade mode is, as the name says, completely faithful to the original version, whose story revolves around the kidnapping of a former American president, who was taken hostage to Africa and, due to political reasons, the government of the United States Unidos cannot act in the area, so it delegates the duty of rescuing him to you.
In the game, as the title itself says, we control a mercenary and need to shoot everywhere and eliminate enemies to complete the mission. In Original mode, the mission begins alone, but the player encounters more mercenaries, each with a different weapon, who can pick up items and buy upgrades to increase the character's life, weapon power and speed, as well as items of protection. Making upgrades well distributed and exploring well is essential. In Arcade mode, the game is much more direct, with the same plot as the original game and controlling only one mercenary, in addition to not being able to buy items, as they are all spread out in the scenarios, including an exclusive weapon. In both modes, it is possible to drive vehicles.
The game is really cool, even more so in the Mega Drive version because it includes two different modes, it has good graphics and an adequate soundtrack for a game of this type. The only negative point is that this version of the game is exclusively Single Player, unlike Arcade, where you can play multiplayer.
The video was made playing both modes on Normal mode. Hope you like it.
