As promised when they first launched the game, Capcom has made the popular game mode in Resident Evil 4 Remake known as The Mercenaries available! If you aren’t aware of this mode and what it offers, here’s a brief breakdown of what you can expect to experience:
The Mercenaries is an action-packed bonus mode where the player’s goal is to defeat as many enemies as possible within a limited time to achieve high scores.
Leon’s loadout is fixed from the start of play (handgun, shotgun, sniper rifle, and knife). Making fast, strategic decisions about how to dispatch foes is crucial to success.
Defeating enemies in quick succession generates combos and increases the player’s score. Performing actions like melee finishes, headshots, and taking out stronger enemies like the Chainsaw Man also adds precious seconds to the ever-ticking clock.
Fill the Mayhem Mode gauge by defeating enemies and performing actions like parries, then activate it to unleash stat buffs and score/time bonuses for even higher scores.
Players can unlock additional content for The Mercenaries, including new stages and other elements, by progressing through the mode.
Along with The Mercenaries launch trailer, they have shared an accolades trailer for the game as well. While you can always read up on our thoughts on our Resident Evil 4 review, they include snippets of what some other reviewers thought as well.
Resident Evil 4 Remake is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
