Mercenary Battle Company: The Reapers is a fast-paced, roguelite, bullet heaven game where you pilot giant mecha robots and fight off hordes of alien creatures known as the Xeni.
Different pilots are available for your mecha robots, each with their unique special abilities, different weapons and mech attachments. But why did the pilots choose such a precarious job?
There are endless ways to annihilate the Xeni! Vaporize them with a Flamethrower or disintegrate them with the EMP. Poison them, shock them, freeze them, and if all else fails, make them explode with the Pulsar Cannon or explosive bullets.
Delve into the heart of the Xeni swarm!
After Ether was discovered, it became the definitive fuel source for civilization. But with Ether came a threat! Hostile alien creatures, termed as ‘Xeni', feed on Ether and infest planets with large Ether reservoirs. The Reaper Division, or simply 'The Reapers’, is an infamous division formed by the Mercenary Battle Company to exterminate swarms of these pests for safe Ether mining.
You have one job as a Reaper: eradicate the Xeni at any cost!
