Kings Mercenary is a 2D action game reminiscent of Metal Slug right from the first moment the play, however visually closely resembles other games Paul Robertson as the excellent Scott Pilgrim VS The World: The Game. Though recalling classic games and sometimes be quite retro, has all the modern stuff that today's players need. Unfortunately it seems to get Scott Pilgrim some problems.
Montreal-based developer Canari Games has announced their first title on Kickstarter, Lunark. Currently there is an estimated release window of April 2020.
This 2D shoot ‘em up is a mashup of Metal Slug and Monster Hunter. The story goes as follows: scientists were creating a bio-regenerating formula on a remote island when the chief engineer was kidnapped by Baron and his CLAW forces. A team with royal sounding code names were sent to rescue him. However, only your character and another survived the attempt. The deaths of your comrades are quite gruesome and portrayed vividly in pixel styled cutscenes.
Huh! A free upgrade to the previous ps4 version. Just redownloaded it again, acts like an update. Pretty amazeballs.
Chad writes: "By looking at the Mercenary Kings screenshots it’s easy to assume that it’ll be a Metal Slug copycat - and you would be right about that, the games are definitely similar in appearance. The gameplay, on the other hand, is vastly different: Mercenary Kings plays like Mega Man in a less linear environment."
