Today’s PlayStation Store update introduced the retro styled 16-bit side scrolling shoot ‘em up Mercenary Kings which, if you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber is available as a free download. In case you missed the launch trailer Mercenary Kings drops you into a, “colorful world of stylized, cartoonish warfare,” that’s as chaotic as it is vibrant.

“Mercenary Kings might feel like something from the 16-bit past, but — like the Kings’ weapons — it’s crafted with brand new pieces into an explosive, modern package,” explains Tribute Games lead writer Yannick Belzil. “Vanquished enemies drop a variety of materials that you can later craft into almost anything to give you an edge against CLAW. You can build with more than 300 firearm parts to mix and match into any weapon you can think of.”

“Build a scary-looking rifle, or a toilet-shaped machine gun. Or forge impressive or incredibly silly blades. Scavenged parts can be made into stronger armor, or turned into bio-mods, upgrading your mercenary’s strengths and reducing his weaknesses.” Mercenary Kings is available now via the PlayStation Store for just $14.99 or, as already mentioned, it’s free for PlayStation Plus subscribers.
