help Mercs FAQ
How is Mercs connected to Capcom's Commando?
Mercs is the 1990 arcade sequel to Capcom's 1985 top-down shooter Commando. It keeps the forward-scrolling run-and-gun structure while adding vehicles, larger weapons, and cooperative arcade play.
What is Original Mode in the Sega Genesis version of Mercs?
Original Mode is a separate campaign with new stages, recruitable soldiers, shops, and character-specific weapons. It is not simply a rearrangement of the arcade game, which is included as its own Arcade Mode.
Does the Genesis version of Mercs have multiplayer?
No, the Genesis port is single-player even though the arcade original supports simultaneous cooperative play. Sega compensated with the expanded Original Mode and its switchable team members.
What came after Mercs in the Commando series?
Capcom later released Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 as a downloadable sequel. It appeared in 2008 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, returning to cooperative top-down shooting.
