Um presente que ninguém pediu

A Capcom tem um prazer enorme em celebrar aniversários da franquia com jogos extremamente aleatórios e que são, nitidamente, algo que ninguém pediu. Para comemorar os 15 anos de Resident Evil a Capcom nos deu de presente esse port do modo Mercenaries do Resident Evil 5 que é muito sem graça.

Não existe dúvida de que o modo Mercenaries é um excelente modo extra e, na minha opinião, o do 5 bate muito de frente com o do 4, mas é somente isso que ele é, um modo extra. Lançar em formato de jogo é uma coisa um pouco complicada no meu ponto de vista.

Até que esse lançamento aqui tentou trazer algumas novidades como as skills que você pode adquirir certas habilidades para os personagens e pelo fato de você ter um modo de missões que contam com um total de 30, mas as missões são chatas, principalmente as primeiras que funcionam como um "tutorial". Acredito que se fosse o modo normal do 5, pudesse ser melhor.

O gameplay flui bem (agora você pode andar e atirar), os cenários e inimigos são legais, principalmente pela adição de lugares e inimigos do 4 e os personagens que jogamos também, pois conta com Claire, Rebecca entre outros, mas fiquei decepcionado por não ter o Leon.

É difícil avaliar esse aqui por conta da proposta e por ser um extra tão simplório. Apesar de ter coisas legais como os personagens, locais e andar e atirar, enquanto jogo é algo muito fraco e muito esquecível.

No final, acaba sendo uma experiência ruim. Por mais que tenha alguns diferenciais, não os enxerguei como algo primordial e, por isso, considero inclusive que o Mercenaries do Resident Evil 5, deva ser a versão para se jogar.

A $40 tech demo, Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D is cool in its own right. Especially when you were there in the 3DS' early days. It's very impressive how smoothly this game plays close to Resident Evil 4 and 5! And the novelty of reusing assets from those games isn't really too much of a blight, since you've never seen them "demade" in this way before.

Unfortunately, that only takes the experience so far. Enemy variety is extremely underwhelming, which is a huge misstep when the entire game is centered around slaying enemies and not much else. There's a lot of potential material (all from Resident Evil 4 and 5), but any RE veteran at the time will constantly think something is missing.

The playable characters themselves have plenty of variety, but it gets old when you're fighting the same exact ghouls and beasts over and over again. And over a decade later, the novelty of this game is kind of lost, especially since pretty much all Resident Evil games are playable on multiple handheld systems these days.

Honestly way more capable than what the hardware its on makes you initially perceive. really cool selection of maps and playable characters. the change in difficulty in how the game sends enemies to you in select maps is not noticable but is really interesting compared to the original gamemode its based off of. The 3D capability is cool but it makes the aliasing stand out way too much. this game really makes you wonder why they never attempted to make a downscaled port of Resident Evil 5 but once you see how performance drops with the bigger minibosses it becomes apparent.

I'm only logging this now because the credits rolled at 5-5 but we all know the game merely starts then. But whatever.

Pretty impressive for a 3DS game but I wish it weren't a 3DS game. Other than that, it's basically RE5 Mercs with some stages and enemies from RE4, plus some new mechanics (walk while aiming, skills, different inventory system which makes me miss RE5 menu reloading but I hear that's a skill I can get later)

Where the fuck is Leon though, it's kinda bullshit that they have shit from 4, like cultists, some stages and playable Krauser, but no Leon. Robbed. At least there's Claire.

A very impressive port of RE5's gameplay to the 3DS, considering this came out near the handheld's launch.

Speaking of 2011: I got this for 5 dollars on an eShop sale in 2022, and felt that was the threshold of "fair." I could see people having beef paying full price for this at launch, as it's less of a game and more of a MODE meant to enhance a single-player narrative.

It's still fun for drop-in score attacks. Menu navigation is needlessly weird, and it's also odd the menu makes the Jet Force Gemini "computer noises."

It's basically RE5 mercs with more characters and stages. Which is fine. Their are some new gameplay advancements and gear customisation which is cool and some tweaks gameplay modes. The issue here is everything just feels rehased from other games and the 3DS isn't the best console to do a game like this. It's good for what it is and where it is but it's a missed oppurtunity. How hard is Capcom to just put a Merc/Raid hybrid on current consoles in a free to play model with legacy characters and stages from all the games. Shit would print money. I take it that this games middling sales is a reason why.
