Mercenary Kings continues the 8-bit theme, and is a forthcoming side-scrolling shoot ’em up game developed and published by Tribute Games, who were also behind Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game. It was funded by a Kickstarter and is scheduled for release on PC and PS4 early this year.
It’s been compared in style to Metal Slug and players fight against hordes of enemies and rescue hostages. Players also have the ability to craft their arsenal and upgrade their armor, as well play alongside three other players, locally or online.
