Sure, you’ll learn the maps and gain a greater understanding of how to traverse the area, but after going through the same place 6 or 7 times you’ll very quickly become bored of it. You’ll go through the same environments while fighting the exact same enemies multiples times and it gets old rather quick. While the constantly changing mission requirements keep the game from becoming the simple, “keep running right until you get to the end of the stage,” that most other games in the run n’ gun genre are, it’s also one of the game’s greatest weaknesses. Each mission in the game has different requirements, such as rescuing hostages, collecting treasure, defeating all the enemies in an area among others. You can run, jump, duck, roll, and fire as you make your way through missions. Reload speed, firing speed, accuracy, and more can change drastically depending on the parts chosen.

There are plenty of different weapon configurations to choose from and each piece of your gun you alter will change quite a bit about how your weapon works. These materials are used to craft new weapons and modifications for your weapons. Many times, defeated enemies will drop materials that you can retrieve. Here you can alter your weapons, purchase supplies, join a co-op online game, accept new missions, and more – but where the game really differentiates itself from similar run n’ guns such as Metal Slug is in its weapon customization. You always begin at your base of operations, where you can prepare yourself before each mission. In Mercenary Kings, you’ll play as one of 4 characters as you run n’ gun your way through over 100 missions.
