Mercs is one of those games that's instantly fun to play, with bullets and bodies flying all over the place, and there are hordes of enemies to mow down.
Converted from the classic arcade game, Strider lets you run, jump, perform acrobatics and climb walls and overhangs. You wield a plasma sword, called a Cypher, through 5 levels fighting robots and guards, with mid- and end-level bosses.
You are in control of a Predator who receives a distress call from Vega 4 of an attack on the city of New Shangi. Your goal is to wipe out all of the aliens before advancing to the next level.
The game is a typical side scrolling shooter, going against the trend of other Capcom shooters, such as 1942, and 1943: The Battle of Midway, which are vertically scrolling shooters.
