Mad Merx: Nemesis is a multiplayer run n’ gun third-person shooter through and through. Players assume control of one of four playable classes (once they’ve all been unlocked, anyway) and attempt to blow away the competition in an online frag fest. As players run around shooting things they’ll earn the experience and cash necessary to unlock and purchase better gear respectively. Typical third-person shooter controls (i.e. left virtual stick to move, swiping the screen to look, tap Shoot to shoot, etc) are present and should make any genre fan’s transition pretty simple.
It’s a simple thing but I rather like the style of the robo-soldiers in Mad Merx: Nemesis. They look good, and are easy to tell apart from all the other classes even at a distance. I also like how each class has its own set of weapons to unlock and equip, meaning that there’s actually a reason for players to experiment from time to time. And between all the leveling and unlocking there’s a constant need to keep playing in order to access more and more content.
Mad Merx: Nemesis is decent fun, especially for a free online multiplayer shooter, but there are better choices out there. If it didn’t take quite so long to level up and unlock new classes or suffer from some pretty severe online problems it might be more of a contender, but as-is it’s fairly mundane.
