On a barren outer-system planet, the Tyris Corporation exploits the resource Mercury, prompting the oppressed Heskar to fight back with improvised mechs. As their attacks increase, Tyris deploys its elite RIS_TEC unit, escalating the battle for control of the planet.
We are huge fans of games like Titanfall, Underdogs, and Iron Rebellion - and when the Meta Horizon Start Developer Competition 2025 was announced, we had an idea: Why not combine Titanfall with Underdogs and all without a controller? The idea for Mercury was born!
Mercury is the first VR mecha brawler with purely hand-gesture controls. Movement is based on gorilla locomotion and completely eliminates the need for controllers. And that's not all: movement and combat are fast-paced - pushing hand tracking to its absolute limits. In addition, there's a cinematic introduction to the gameplay, and the cities where we battle enemy mechs are procedurally generated. Our opponents have various attack patterns that are triggered depending on the situation. The game also features a complete sound design.
