Nothing is cheap and everything costs you money. Will you fight for House Davion, House Steiner or will you let your bank account decide? As a mercenary you will need to manage your finances, buy, sell and equip your “Mechs”. In a galaxy embroiled in war you find your loyalties lie with the highest bidder. The Story: It’s the year 3066 and you are a MechWarrior for hire. Clans could win resources, planets and fight for the honor of their clan. An entire gaming universe was created with the advent of the Astral Dominion League. Online play was a huge factor and many “clans” participated in online matches. A game pad will work, but it is not as much fun. The graphics are solid for the time period. Controls are detailed with the ability customize for gaming comfort. Like its predecessors, it is first person aspect within a “Mech” cockpit. With the inclusion of Inner Sphere, Clan and MekTek packs, the game gained a huge following. Eventually MekTek decided to separate from the franchise. MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries is a classic “BattleTech” simulation developed by FASA and published by Microsoft in 2002 and re-published in 2010 by MekTek as a free download.
