Riddick: The Merc Files is a 2013 stealth-action adventure developed by Gaming Corps for Android and iOS. Players control Riddick — voiced by Vin Diesel — as he confronts waves of pursuing mercenaries across 16 levels. Gameplay draws on a combination of stealth maneuvering, direct combat, and Riddick's signature eyeshine ability, which grants visibility in darkened environments. The game is structured around four distinct modes: Survival, Escape, Fetch, and Takedown, each presenting different objectives and challenges. The mobile-focused design suits shorter play sessions while maintaining variety through its mode structure. The title draws on the broader Riddick franchise, centering on the character's cunning and physical prowess as core mechanics rather than treating them as purely narrative elements.
Riddick is hunted by mercenaries on the Dunes, and Riddick sneaks around in the shadows avoiding and hunting them.
