Mercs is a shoot 'em up influenced by Ikari Warriors. You are an anti-terrorism soldier, and must rescue a former President from a Central African revolutionary gang.
You run through each of the 8 levels, which primarily scroll horizontally, shooting everyone before they can shoot you. At times you will have to shoot trees and other scenery to progress.
Finding strategic placings is important, especially as you can't shoot while on water. Most of the time you are on foot, but at times you can hijack vehicles of shot foes. There are improved weapons, smart bombs and energy recharges to collect. Each of the 8 levels ends with a large vehicle requiring multiple shots to destroy.

This game is cool. It's just like Commando but with better weapons. The whole game is very short; it should not take more than a half hour to beat.

You can find this game on Capcom Classics vol. 1 for Xbox and PS2. It still holds up well, the advantage of the Capcom classic is you can play 3 players. Its a fun game, its just does not last very long. For 800 points and with multiplayer, I would give it a download.
If you enjoy Metal Slug and Super C, you would enjoy this game.(although its top down shooter)
