Pros: Co-op Fast Paced Interesting Skill Trees Cons: Stability Balancing M.E.R.C. is a reasonable game. People are comparing it to XCom, but that is not very accurate comparison. The game is real time, which in my opinion makes you connect less with your soldiers as you don't have the crucial "Please hit this shot Billy!" moments. I played with a friend for all my missions, which means splitting loot and therefore having to compete twice as many missions to keep progressing in the game. The stability of this game is not good. In the 3.4 hours played the game crashed 4 times, which made us fail missions and lose reputation with certain factions.

YOU HAVE TO JOKING.COMPARING THIS CRAP GAME TO XCOM IS A DISGRACE. WHAT AS WASTE OF MONEY. GRAPHICS NOT A PATCH ON XCOM CAN'T SAVE GAME DURING A MISSION, GARBAGE THERE'S NO SKILL HERE, JUST RUN AROUND & SHOOT EVERY THING IN SIGHT. DON'T TOUCH IT.
bon jeu, les graphismes sont tres correct avec le moteur UNITY. on peut renommer les nom de la Team. Le gameplay est facile a prendre en main. Pas de bugs rencontres, a part des fois, la camera qui a du mal a se replacer quand on va dans les etages mais rien de genant. La vf est bonne. Elle a etait implantee depuis le 18 fevrier 2017 ! Je le recommende vivement car le plaisir de jouer est la !
As many reviews will say, this has echos of Xcom and Syndicate. It starts with an overhead map 'hub' where missions appear over time. Completing them earns money and shifts the favour of one or more of the five major corporations. Being liked by a corporation gives buffs. There is a small RPG factor to the squad management. Hire new units and upgrade armour or weapons. Items can be found in chests during gameplay (although not equipped until back at the barracks). You need to give your squad time to heal which can lead to financial issues (they still want paying weekly), corporation favour dropping, more missions appearing and things generally getting trickier. Overall is quite fun. The AI can be a little dim but that is being worked on. I am slightly concerned about it getting too samey. So far all the missions I have done have been in the 'Slums' and are all made from the same basic blocks. I am hoping it will bring in other districts with new texture pallets. It is also desperately crying out for an in-game map while playing the missions. It is very easy to get lost.
Best part of the game is the graphics, although it's simply window-dressing as you cannot enter buildings, open doors unless they are specific to the story. That's it, that's all that I've found good about this. Mercs are ugly and you have no customization ability. Squad control is where this game falls horribly flat. Very clunky camera controls and, even worse, switching between squads in order to try and flank enemy units is a nightmare and potentially game ending when your unit becomes blocked by the un-interactive scenery and you can no longer see the enemy units to fire at them. Your mercs will not fire at enemy units unless you tell them to engage. You go from a very simplistic tutorial into a hard-core, very unforgiving story-mode/side missions. And the scenarios are all-or-nothing. If you do not successfully complete the mission you get zip, zero, nothing. There's three hours of your life you won't get back. Not sorry that I paid money for a game that I've already deleted off my computer. I don't mind helping game developers put new products on the market. But this game is very frustrating and the fun-factor is about equal to a bent-brick. The form is there, but you just can't use it.
Игра заброшена разработчиком. Не стоит тратить деньги пока не будет апдейтов. А жаль, у игры был потенциал...
Игра мертва и давно заброшена разработчиком, не вздумайте покупать!
Gotta say I'm pretty impressed with this. The ambience and overall world implementation has a lot of details already and it's immersive enough to make the fighting anxiety-inducing if you're not managing your mercs well. Although it's not immediately obvious what the strengths/weaknesses are of the different merc types, you get into it after a couple of missions and then it's constant thinking ahead to your next upgrades. Some reviewers gave thumbs down based on stuff like camera & gameplay glitches - that's pretty short-sighted for an alpha release. While I agree that the camera feels restrictive, it's hardly worth a thumbs down. Would definitely recommend following this game!
Gameplay is too simplistic and brainless, as well as having quite a few issues UI and general look feels rather offputting do not recomend
Ok, if you're gonna do a righteous fight - get some grenades and a rocket launcher all up in there... BOOYA! The side missions seem really challenging, but boy they feel good to finish. Also, didn't get that you can use space-bar to slow down time - Super sweet! Really enjoying the game thus far, slightly reminiscent of Syndicate or for the youngsters, it's like Diablo but with guns.
