Third Anniversary's update!

THE MERCENARIES MODE

REWORK

The "Mercenaries" mode and the game's accompanying combat system have undergone a major update.

What is "The Mercenaries"?

This mode is a frequent guest in the Resident Evil series. Typically, the player is required to kill enemies while trying to maintain their combo meter. However, this version of the Mercenaries is somewhat different.

The player is faced with the task of defeating all enemies on the map of his choice. The player is given command of a team of three characters. The player is free to choose who will be on their team.

Each character has unique skills, strengths and weaknesses. For example, some people work better in a team, while others do the opposite.

Using the turn-based combat system that the game offers, the mode challenges you to plan and manage the resources of each team member.

For completing maps, the player will be given various rewards.

The mode consists of 10 stages and one endless randomly generated stage, which will open after completing all stages.

Each stage will place the player in a special location with a specific set of opponents. Some stages during the first playthrough may force the player to adapt and choose characters for the team from a special list.

Completing each stage will unlock a new playable character and/or costume, and completing the final stage will unlock a special reward.

What's new:

♟New title screen for "The Mercenaries" mode.

♟ New and improved character selection screen in the “Mercenaries” mode. Now, after clicking on the icon of the desired character, the player will see a screen describing the character’s skills. To asign them to your team, you must click the character's portrait in this screen.
