Game details
The Mercenaries 3D will have the same basic gameplay formula as the other Mercenaries mini-games that preceded it. There won’t be an overarching story of any kind. The Mercenaries 3D will be all about killing as many enemies as you can while racking up a high score. Each stage has a time limit, but you can find items in the stages that will extend the session. You can also move while firing and when firing, players will be able to switch to 1st-person or 3rd-person aiming. Also, your character will gain abilities over time. New to the series is the inclusion of a first-person aiming mode. This change is meant to make the player feel as if they themselves are being attacked rather than the character. The 3D effects in the game may also contribute to that depth. There is confirmed to be around 30 stages in total. These stages will consist of locales spanning the entire series.
