A tactical space combat game with an emphasis on flotilla tactics. The game is designed to give the player a quick space-combat fix without having to play for an hour first. Five playable races, custom battle mode, five campaigns, space monsters and inter-galactic invaders round out the experience. The game plays like a real-time strategy game without the base building.
Space monsters abound in The Free Mercenaries. After battle, visit a repair station to fix up your fleet.
