Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction (2005) After over 50 years of military tension, the aging President Choi Kim of North Korea began to embrace the "Sunshine Policy" of South Korea, reviving hopes of peaceful reunification; however, the North Korean military became disgruntled with the turn of events, fearing a dramatic loss of their power. Their leader, the brilliant and ruthless Choi Song, believed that his father, President Kim, was losing sight of "North Korea's true destiny." Song led an army of insurgents into a ceremony celebrating a road map to the reunification of Korea. Both North and South Korean political leaders were shot and killed, and Song himself shot his father dead without hesitation. This started a Second Korean War, which was won by an allied group of nations. However, Song and those loyal to him stage an insurrection as the various factions start to fall apart. Following this, the player character - either Chris Jacobs, Jennifer Mui, or Mattias Nilsson - is called in to hunt down Song and his men during the chaos.
