About the game

What is MERCS: Recon – Counter Threat?

MERCS: Recon - Counter Threat is a fully cooperative, stand-alone game set in the exciting MERCS world. Recon uses a modular setup that allows for a highly replayable experience. Players are MERCS infiltrating an opposing MegaCon location. The MERCS team must fight through the tight corridors of the structure, capture and interrogate worker-citizen, find mission objectives, and breach and secure the package. Recon utilizes MERCS well known dynamic, high-quality miniatures, an engaging fog-of-war mechanic with variable agent movement, escalating security forces, and a tension-filled end game through a unique breach and clear mechanic.
