Mercenarian
Steam

Mercenarian is a single-player action RPG where monsters aren’t just enemies — they’re opportunities. Hunt powerful creatures, collect weapons and skillstones to steal their abilities, and shape your own fighting style.
Spit poison like a spider, slash through relentless foes, and grow stronger as you face deadlier challenges. Sharpen your weapons, choose how you fight, and live the life of a Mercenary.
As a Mercenary, combat is your way of survival. Hunt dangerous monsters and slash them all. Every battle pushes you toward deadlier challenges.

Stronger monsters demand better preparation. Find powerful weapons from markets or monster drops, and choose from over 30 weapons across three types — One-Handed, Two-Handed, and Spear, each offering its own strengths and combat style.

Sharpen your weapons, improve your character’s stats, upgrade item capacity limits, and gain experience as you rise from a newbie into a Professional Mercenary, mastering the art of monster slaying.

Monsters are born with dangerous abilities — poison spitting, teleportation, diving underground, dashes, and more.
By using Skillstones, you can steal these powers for yourself. Equip up to five out of 40+ Skillstones to redefine how you approach combat and adapt to any enemy.

Find young monsters, capture them, and raise them with care. Feed them properly and watch them grow — but remember, even monsters require attention to survive.
