Another solid game from the arcade kings at Capcom. Mercs follows on as a sequel to Capcom's earlier game, Commando. The graphical style, sound and option of up to 3-players were all things we'd became accustomed to during the era of Capcoms CPS1 system games.
Although not doing anything in particular to push the run-and-run genre forward, There's a story, but we don't care for that with arcade shooters. Instead, we're happy that Mercs provides absolutely solid gameplay and reminds us why arcade games are so much fun. Although ported to many home systems, even the notable Mega Drive version lacks the pure polish of the arcade original.
