Merc Commander

Merc Commander is a spiritual successor of the MechCommander games. 

Please keep in mind that this project is being actively developed.

All upgrades and missions are unlocked from the start - this is not a bug, it is intentional.

A few words about the project

In my opinion, Mechcommander 2 is a little outdated after 15 years of the gaming industry development, so I took some liberties.

I didn't really like that in MC, your mechs maneuver independently and without much sense (there is also a chance that I am too dumb to understand the pattern though), and you can't seriously influence the course of the battle.

So now there are some additional features.

First, enemy mechs (not tanks or infantry) have a “rear” concept. Attacks from behind deal 150% damage, so you should keep an eye on the position of your mechs and surround your enemies.

Second, the weapons on mechs determine the “special abilities” they can use. For example, a mech with a PPC can overcharge it to get a damage bonus, and a mech with an SRM can use dead-fire missiles, which are more powerful but less accurate. Using abilities increases the overall Heat indicator, so you can't spam them often - the mech will overheat and shut down.

All this does not require micromanagement on the level of Asian StarCraft players, but it does make firefights more reactive. Don't forget to use the tactical pause, which slows down the game 10 times, to think about your actions (activated with the space bar).

Tell me what you think about this.
