About Monster Mercs
Monster Mercs is a fast-paced action RPG where the monsters you kill become the monsters you become.
Slay enemies to unlock powerful transformations, each with its own abilities and playstyles, then dive into high-octane, mission-based gameplay inspired by Helldivers and Deep Rock Galactic. Team up with up to 3 friends, take on unique contracts, and grow your strength, gold, and glory.
Bring Friends. Or Don’t. The Monsters Don’t Care.
Run contracts alone or with a squad of four mercs and watch the chaos multiply. Enemies scale, loot gets better, and your weirdest builds suddenly make sense when your buddy accidentally ignites half the map. Share buffs, stack spells, chain transformations—or all transform at once and absolutely ruin some poor troll’s afternoon.
Grow Stronger Through the Creatures You Conquer
Each slain monster feeds your ability to transform. Absorb their essence, unlock new forms, and evolve your powers with every mission. What begins as a small edge becomes a defining force—the more monsters you defeat, the more monstrous you become.
Mission-Based Action With Endless Variety
Take on scalable missions with 1–4 players across a mix of handcrafted arenas and procedural zones. Whether you’re clearing infestations, hunting elite bosses, or escorting volatile magical cargo, each mission adjusts to your party’s power and gear.
Fight a Growing Bestiary
Battle 50+ enemy types, each with unique abilities, strengths, and weaknesses—and discover hundreds of weapon and spell combinations to dismantle them your way. No two runs feel the same.
Drop In, Wreck Monsters, Get Paid
Complete contracts, earn gold, upgrade your gear, and take on bigger, wilder missions. Monster Mercs is designed to be easy to pick up, fast to replay, and endlessly customizable.
