Version differences: what's new in the Reloaded Edition?Ĭonsidering the vanilla Mercenary Kings released on PlayStation 4 a few years back, you may be wondering what's new in this Reloaded Edition. Overall, the gameplay is super-tight, easy to pick up and play, and it's even more enjoyable with friends.

Shooting will require you to reload frequently which happens automatically yet you can time a button press in order to make it happen faster. The basic gameplay has you carry out missions while doing some light 2D platforming and exploring, shooting, and using an array of items such as explosives, rations, and such. You'll find yourself crafting all sorts of weapons, upgrading your armour, and even creating biological enhancements that you can try and conform to your play style. However, it's not your ordinary arcade shooter as there's a nifty character growth dynamic that adds a layer of satisfaction to every successful mission. So, how does this newly upgraded version of Mercenary Kings compare to the classics? Get your trigger finger ready and let's head to battle! You take care of the snipers I'll just blow some stuff up.įor the unfamiliar, Mercenary Kings is a retro-inspired run 'n' gun arcade-like experience that can be enjoyed with up to four simultaneous players. Mercenary Kings: Reloaded Edition is also available for PS4, PS Vita, and Xbox OneĬontra and Metal Slug have stood the test of time as a couple of the best co-op shooters.
