Personally I don't recommend Mercenary. His weapon is too much random spreaded and it is hard to aim the target, especially in World 3 and World 4 where enemies need a lot of hits. Though, he has good special weapon which you can throw to areas you can't reach. Navie is a bit too slow and you need spend some money to improve his haste. The same goes with Thug. Preacher is quite good but his special weapon is a miserable gadget for newbies. If you are rookie and have difficulties playing the game, try him.
I strongly recommend Brigand and Gentleman. Both have good and bad sides. Brigand has a powerful gun which can shot in four lines (when fully upgraded). Unfortunatelly his special weapons are not so useful. It is easier to shot the enemy using normal gun than loading up the special. Gentleman has great special weapons. He has monster repeller and attractor. The former is great help in farther levels. His weak side is that his carried gun can not be upgraded more than just to two lines.
If you consider whom to choose as your company, take Thug or Navie. They are slower than you and you can easily shoot down the enemies before they do it (you get the points). They are just helping you to kill them and maybe also collect some money (if you let them). Boost their Wisdom only when you have to. If you don't have to, do not do it. The wiser they are, the less they shoot enemies, they try to avoid them and collect everything they can. In such circumstances sometimes you have to deal with monsters while they collect food and power which is needed for you (they should take it because you let them not because they want to).
Nevertheless, the most important thing in the whole game is not about who you play with but how many enemies you killed and how many keys and special gadgets you collected. Here are some of my tips:
- For each key, each activated node you get points. The same goes with enemies. Try to kill all the foes you can spot. Go back to places you have already been to see if none of them appeared.
- Remember that as long as the cave from which the enemies come out is open, they will be coming out. Wait for them to kill them. Next to points, they give you money which you can spend in the shop.
- Remember not to shoot the suckers when they have just left the cave. Let them come out a bit because if you don't very often they will not leave a money coin.
- Also the most important thing - explore level as much as you can. Try to get everywhere you can. The harder the route is, the more points and money it gives.
- If you have to choose which key to collect, take the one which is farther from you.
- If you have more than one exit opened, choose the latter one. It will gratify you when you start the next level.
- Observe the level and behaviour of things. If you took a key and suddenly the other one appeared, do not take it. Go and see what happened and then come back to take it.
