Evaluation

Mercenary Kings originally launched out of Early Access on March 25, 2014, and received bug fixes and minor patches throughout 2014. The game's major post-launch milestone came on February 6, 2018, when the developer released the "Reloaded Edition" as a free update to all existing owners. This update added two new playable characters (Frigg and C-ZAR), new craftable knives and gun parts, a new mission, and numerous quality-of-life improvements. The game's current Steam title — "Mercenary Kings: Reloaded Edition" — reflects this definitive, enhanced release. There has been no developer communication since February 2018, no unreleased DLC listed on the store, and no announcements of future content. The Reloaded Edition represents the complete, final form of the game.

But you're not going in unprepared! Your back-up is made of a crew of rogue geniuses and experts of their field! Able to craft & customize guns'n'blades or upgrading body armor, you've never been this ready to join the fight.

Whether its solo or with friends, move out, cut down CLAW and save the world!
