Kickstarter

As you can see our Kickstarter for Mercenary Dark has not gained the popularity that we had hoped. We are committed to doing Mercenary Dark as a project. We are going to take some time to reevaluate how we want to proceed. Please stay tuned for another Kickstarter in the future.
In the mean time you can look forward to at least one smaller video game set in the Mercenary Dark universe. We will post more information about that in the future.

Thank you for your support.

The creation of Mercenary Dark was inspired by such games as Diablo, Torchlight, and Borderlands. Our dream for Mercenary Dark is to create a unique space action/RPG experience, a new universe to explore and conquer. With the unique randomization system that is in place, players will experience new solar systems, quests, and even randomized weapons every time they start a new game.

Mercenary Dark will feature fast-paced space combat, character customization, starship customization, random universes, inventory systems, mining and crafting elements, an extensive loot-system, character leveling with skill progression, and multiplayer gameplay.

- Fast-paced Sci-Fi Space Combat

The space combat in Mercenary Dark is face-paced and action oriented. There is a tremendous amount of focus put on the starship's turrets and the weapons the players, or AI, have mounted on them. From laser beams to particle cannons, the weapons in Mercenary Dark will bring a new life to each encounter the player faces. There will be class specific weaponry as well, for example wormhole cannons and trans-dimensional torpedoes.

- Character Customization, Unique Leveling System, and Skill Trees

In Mercenary Dark the players take on the role of a mercenary starship captain. They will be able to choose a class and level their character up as the game progresses. As the players level up, they will unlock new skills to enhance everything from their starship's speed to the distance their sensors can see into space.

- Inventory System

Loot, loot, and more loot is the name of the game... We love collecting loot and Mercenary Dark will have plenty of it. From randomized starship weapons to new crafting materials, the players will find no end to collecting new items to trade with friends or sell for credits along their journey through the Mercenary Dark universe.

- Mining and Crafting System

Who doesn't love to mine ore? We do... collecting resources to build things has always been one of our favorite gameplay elements... so we put it in Mercenary Dark. It is not essential to gameplay, but adds a different feel for players who want to hunt down those rare asteroids to collect the materials to build that unique starship cannon. Mercenary Dark will feature crafting... collect stuff to build stuff.

- Randomization, Randomization, Randomization...

Ever play a game for 10 hours and completed it? Well our goal with Mercenary Dark is to have as much randomization in place in the game systems so it never feels like the same game twice. Tired of the universe you are in?... No problem... Take your character to a whole new randomly-generated universe.
