Mercenaries 2 Mobile

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames Mobile is a java mobile game for old mobile phones and it's inspired by Mercenaries 2: World in Flames for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows. The game was developed by Capybara Games and published by I-play partnering with Pandemic Studios and released on March 1, 2008 , and it was developed as an advertisement for the main release. The game is much different from the official console versions, but shares some similiarities with them. It's a 16 bit run-and-gun shoot 'em up game in 2D where you play as Mattias Nilsson while being assisted by Fiona like in the normal game.

Gameplay
In the game you can move around in 4 directions while Mattias will shoot automatically to the enemies with the primary weapon, while the secondary weapon require the player's input, including grenades. You can also crouch behind sandbag piles and use MG turrets, but these features require the directional buttons to shoot. There is also the shop where you can call in airstrikes with collected money. The C-4 is also present in this game, but can be used only in determinated circumstances. Like in the other games you can destroy pretty much every building. There are no drivable vehicles in this game.

Plot
The events of the game take place after the story of the main release of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. "After Solano's defeat came the rise of Cervera, a man with a personal vendetta against Mattias and the men and women of action who ply their trade on his soil. With Universal Petroleum, La Policia, and the People's Liberation Army of Venezuela splitting their focus in violent skirmishes with each other, Cervera may just win the day. Following the money wherever it leads, Mattias performs operations on behalf of all of the factions, pitting him against Cervera. Like two locomotives barreling toward each other on the same track, Mattias may be the only one who can stop Cervera from sculpting Venezuela in his own twisted image."

The campaign begins with a cutscene of Mattias getting out of the prison where Cervera locked him, thanks to an explosion orchestrated by Fiona that opened an escape from the building.

Missions
The game campaign consists of 11 more straightforward missions compared to the contracts in the other games, across 11 linear maps instead of open-world maps like the main games.

 * Carbine
 * Shotgun

Secondary weapons
Secondary weapons are all weapons that go on the second slot when picked up, but unlike the primary weapons, they require the player to press a button and aim to be used. Enemies will freeze and a viewfinder will appear and the player has limited time to aim before shooting and after that enemies will start to move again. The secondary weapons have limited ammunition.

 * Rocket launcher
 * Sniper rifle

Airstrikes
Airstrikes can be bought from the shop during missions for 1000$ each. Like for the secondary weapons, a viewfinder will appear and after the timer reaches 0 the airstrike will be delivered. The player can't order airstrikes when there's anti-aircraft installments in the area.


 * Fire storm
 * Cluster bomb
