Command. Upgrade. Survive. Mercenary Syndicate is a tactical roguelike survival shooter set in a war-torn sci-fi galaxy. Lead an elite squad of mercenaries through real-time battles against relentless enemy hordes. Equip powerful weapons, dodge incoming fire, and unleash devastating tactics to survive mission after mission. Customize your loadout, unlock hardened operatives, and push your squad to the limit across deadly warzones. From frozen wastelands to orbital ruins, each battlefield challenges your reflexes and strategy. Inspired by The Steel Divide, the official Mercenary Syndicate Archives, the game unfolds across iconic locations such as Orsus-9, Kestrel V, and the ruins of Ganymede Station. Face brutal foes like Ravox the Hollow, fight alongside legends like Red Vane and Commander Virex, and forge your legacy in a galaxy fractured by conflict and ambition. Key Features: • Real-Time Combat – Fight overwhelming waves of enemies with intuitive, fast-paced controls • Squad-Based Strategy – Unlock, upgrade, and customize elite operatives with unique roles and weapons • Deep Gear Customization – Equip experimental tech, high-caliber rifles, and devastating explosives • Hostile Star Systems – Battle across diverse sci-fi environments, from mining colonies to frozen wrecks • Roguelike Progression – No two missions are the same—build new loadouts and tactics each run Whether you're retaking a colony under siege or salvaging alien tech beneath the ice, every mission is a test of your leadership and survival instincts. Join the Syndicate. Lead your squad. Survive the impossible.

Super Greedy!
Sep 27

This game is the ultimate demonstration of how to posture a product to drain your wallet as much and as quick as possible. The gameplay itself doesn’t bring anything new to the genre - still quite repetitive and non-eventful.I was looking forward to whaling in this newly launched game (after having whaled in a few other similar games before). But I found their greediness (and lack of innovation) to be an absolute turn off, so I’m not going to pay.And because I’m not paying, the amount of ads are drowningly overwhelming. I’ll probably delete this game and move on in a few days once I hit the pay wall.

Smooth controls and great level progression. Easy to pick up, hard to put down—one of the best mobile games I’ve found in a long time!

Can’t progress and insane micro transactions

Game seemed fun at first until you let to level 8 and are locked in a frozen screen and cant progress any further. Micro transactions are also insane with TWO battle passes one for $20 and one for $50. Developers seem really greedy and out of touch. Tons of other micro transactions and the game doesn’t even work. Just seems like a cash grab to me. Don’t waste your time or money on this one. They even updated the game claiming they fixed the problem and they didn’t. Pretty lame.

Spawn right in front of you

Where ever you are moving too is where enemies spawn. It’s a horrible game, makes it almost impossible to play. Don’t change where they spawn, it cheats and you’ll die. The game started out good but got really hard, really quick. Levels are way too small, no room to maneuver and with enemies spawning in your path, you get trapped way too easy.

MERCENARY SYNDICATE – BUILD 1.2.0 “POWER SURGE” The battlefield just changed. Mercenaries, suit up and move out! This update brings major new systems, smarter enemies, and a deadlier contract type. NEW POWERUP SYSTEM Keep moving or get left behind. Powerups now spawn dynamically around your squad, rewarding tactical repositioning and aggressive play. • Powerups appear at set intervals within a radius around your squad. • Each pickup grants a short-term boost but fades quickly, mobility is key. • Collecting one reduces nearby timers, forcing you to prioritize targets. • Subsequent powerups spawn farther away, pushing continuous movement. • Four unique types introduced: – Scattershot: Wide-burst carnage for close-range control – Speed Boots: Enhanced movement for rapid flanks – Overkill: Temporary massive damage bonus – Focus Fire: Increased accuracy and precision Every step counts. Earn your advantage through momentum. ENEMY BEHAVIOR UPDATES Ravox’s forces are adapting. • Ranged enemies now spawn in coordinated formations and synchronize their fire. • Spawn portals now generate only one enemy type, scaled visually to match threat level. • Ranged and large enemies: increased health, fewer overall spawns. • Melee enemies: reduced numbers to balance engagements. Expect more tactical firefights and fewer mindless swarms. NEW MISSION VARIANT – ELITE ELIMINATION Contracts just got riskier. Eliminate missions now task you with hunting elite enemies under a time limit. Multiple enemy types still attack, but elites are the primary objective. This variant emphasizes single-target power, precision, and squad synergy. Show the galaxy why your crew gets the big payouts. GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS • Enhanced portal visuals and spawn logic • Combat flow and enemy pacing refinements • Stability and performance optimizations Command Summary: Smarter enemies. Faster combat. Bigger rewards for bold moves. Lead your squad and survive the impossible.
