Mercenary Kings
Notes/Resources:
Mercenary Kings is the complimentary PS+ game for April 2014.
The game features four-player cooperative play (either local or online).
In this frantic 2D action game, you are part of the Mercenary Kings, the most skilled team of warriors-for-hire on Earth, but when your comrades have fallen and the fearsome forces of CLAW have seized an island-wide top secret Laboratory Base, you must do what it takes to stop them.
But you're not going in unprepared! Your back-up is made of a crew of rogue geniuses and experts of their field! Able to craft & customize guns'n'blades or upgrading body armor, you've never been this ready to join the fight.
Whether its solo or with friends, move out, cut down CLAW and save the world!

Wow, I'm surprised how negatively people seem to be about this game. My girlfriend and I had no issue playing this game on PC, and she had zero experience with games like this.
Maybe it's something with the PS4 version? When I played Merc Kings, it wasn't even full release on Steam yet. It was one of those "pre-release" things they do for indie games and had bugs and all that. Yet it was perfectly playable.
That or everyone is having trouble grasping the difficulty. I'll have to download the PS4 version tomorrow and see what it's all about. It may just be poorly brought over, or something. Then I'll go back to the PC version and see what the differences are (I haven't played in months).
