About Mercy Incore
Mercy Incore is an action-packed adventure and beat-em-up game developed by Inspioner, released December 31 2026. Set in a techno-dimension, you play as a knight whose life is tied to a device called the Draincore. This thing siphons energy from enemies to keep you alive. The goal? Fight through procedurally generated levels, survive waves of foes, and find a way back to your world. It’s a mix of fast combat and survival resource management. The setting leans cyberpunk with abstract visuals, but the focus is on brutal melee action and relentless progression. Single-player only. A game where mercy is optional but survival isn’t.
Gameplay
You slash enemies with a melee weapon while the Draincore automatically drains their health. Combat is twitch-based with light and heavy attacks, parrying, and dodging. Each level is a gauntlet of enemies and environmental hazards. You spend most sessions switching between weapons (like a plasma blade or energy mace) and managing stamina. The Draincore forces you to stay in the fight, retreating for too long lets your health deplete. Bosses require memorizing attack patterns. The techno-void environments are maze-like, with hidden shortcuts and power-ups. No crafting or inventory systems, just raw combat loops and occasional upgrades. Sessions last 20-40 minutes per level, with permadeath if you die.
What Players Think
Critic score 74. User rating 82. Average playtime is 13 hours with a 63% completion rate. Players report feeling determined (42%) and focused (38%), but 20% get annoyed. Review snippets praise "relentless combat" but call the difficulty "grindy." Achievement completion is 88% at 50 total. Most players finish the first three acts but struggle in later levels. Positive feedback centers on the Draincore mechanic and tight controls. Critics note repetitive enemy types and underdeveloped lore. 70% of players beat the game within 20 hours. The $39.99 price point splits opinions, seen as fair for a niche title but overpriced for casual gamers.
PlayPile's Take
Mercy Incore is a brutal, niche title for hack-and-slash fans who thrive on high difficulty. The Draincore adds tension but demands constant aggression. If you enjoy punishing combat loops and can tolerate sparse story beats, it’s worth $39.99. The 50 achievements are straightforward but reward persistence. Skip if you prefer slower-paced adventures or story-driven games. Completionists will appreciate the 63% finish rate, but the grindy middle acts may test patience. Best played in short bursts, this isn’t a game for marathon sessions.
