Mercenary Leto

About

Mercenary Leto is an indie action platformer with retro pixel art visuals. You control a ragtag group of spacefarers using a huggable dragon as your primary vehicle. The game balances side-scrolling combat with exploration as you chase down a criminal operation targeting dragons. Simple but responsive controls let you leap between planets while fending off enemies with basic melee and ranged attacks. The game earns points for its whimsical tone and creative setting where sci-fi and fantasy collide. Released in 2018 for PC, it maintains a brisk pace with a single-player story that wraps up in a few hours. The dragon companion mechanic stands out as a playful addition to the platforming loop. While not mechanically deep, its charm and colorful world make it a quick but satisfying pick for casual fans of the genre.
