Well, after getting to the end credits with 40+ hours of gameplay, i can say im very surprised of this game. At first, i thought to buy it because it looked like Metal Slug, and i thought it would be just a running and gunning game. But it proved me wrong. The first thing that surprised me was the story. I wasn't expecting nothing more than a cliché story of war or some excuse for a war, but at the end, the story was great, with a bit of Science Fiction and a lot of characters and funny dialogs.

Then was the gameplay, and that exceeded too my expectations. I knew it was based in making weapons, but with the Bionic Mods, the Food and the Knives, it made me have to really change my strategies, try all of the options, and choose the best for every situation, mission or boss. The "RPG" elements like the Elemental Damage, HP, and Material Gathering (Much like Dropping in MMO's) made me get more into the game and the world arround it, and the character's conversations funny and great overall.

Next was the Graphics, and that didn't surprise me a lot. I mean, they look really good for 16-Bit, and i enjoyed them a lot. It was a bit bad though to get the Black palette for King near the end though.

And finally it was the Sound. Good and catchy tunes, with great gun weapon sounds and awesome explosion effects. Oh... and Tango Yankee and Bravo Zulu voice effects are just hilarious.

Obviously, i have to mention too bad things, but there are just 3 bad things for me in this game, and i overlooked them after hours of gameplay: The constant enemy respawning system (So anoying), the enormous late game enemy damage (Even with full armor upgrades, they do a lot of damage), and a lot of anoying enemies (Like the bouncing robots or the Mandrakes.)

So... in the end, i have to say, Mercenary Kings has been a pretty awesome game. I loved it, and for 10€ is just a must buy. Thank you Tribute Games, Thank you.

P.S: If there's Mercenary Kings 2 sometime in my lifetime, i'll buy it instantly. But make it follow the ending of Mercenary Kings, please... I loved the ending. Tasker FTW~
