MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries is a first-person action game with shooter elements. You'll be part of frantic, dynamic battles across the vast expanses of space. The game's events send you, as the protagonist, to the distant future, where humanity has achieved success not only in exploring but also in colonizing the most remote cosmic locations. You'll encounter one of these galaxies. It's unique and divided into five distinct sectors, one of which will be the main focus of the game. It's home to a colonist base that's been invaded by enemy forces. As a brave fighter, you'll control a robotic mech that will set out to defeat all opponents, thereby clearing the sector of unwanted guests. The war promises to be long and grim, but you must do everything in your power to finally bring it to an end. You will be presented with missions to complete in order to improve the main character and open up even more possibilities for him.
