About the Game

Ecto Mercenary Program is a sci-fi looter shooter where you and your friends form a mercenary group to forge a path for yourselves. Rise from a destitute crew fighting raiders for scraps to a feared force on the station. Survival is not guaranteed.

Your group starts extremely poor with barely enough to afford the bare necessities in staying alive. On the way up, you and your friends get to:

  • Complete Contracts. Curry favor with the more powerful factions in the station. Get access to technologies that only they have, and areas they control.

  • Upgrade and maintain equipment. Equipment you have will degrade overtime. Repairing old equipment comes at the risk of permanently degrading them unless materials are provided. Weigh the risks between bringing cheap disposable crap for a mission or more expensive and powerful gear!
