MergeCrafter Reviews

The general trade off for games with energy meters is that once you deplete the meter, you have to shut the game down and go do something else for a while to let the energy recharge. The alternative to that is to pay money to recharge the meter. In this game it’s pretty easy to run out of merges in base camp and spend all your energy on dungeon runs, and then you’re left with nothing but to shut the game off for a few hours until you can run another dungeon and earn more materials to merge to unlock more land.

Except…

Surprise! You don’t refill energy while the game is closed, only when it’s open. Shut the game down with 3 energy at night, open it the following morning, and you have…4 energy. The timer is 6 minutes per point of energy and doesn’t tick over until the game is reopened, leaving you with 36 minutes of staring at a screen with no matches before you have the energy to get more materials. Unless, of course, you want to spend cash to buy a refill…

This behavior is a new low for predatory behavior and needs to be stamped out across MergeCrafter Store. Refuse to do business with any developer that uses this tactic. They need to be put out of business.

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS GAME. I WATCH YOUR SHADY ADS ALL ABOUT SCAMS, ONLY TO NOT GET MY REWARD.

PROGRESS IS MESSED UP, SLOW, STRANGE. IT GIVES ME “ITEM NAME” ITEMS THAT CANT BE USED UNTIL, OH NEVER MIND YOU FIND OUT WAY LATER WHEN THE STUPID GAMES GIVES IT ITS ACTUAL NAME. DO NOT GIVE ME A USELESS “ITEM NAME” ITEM IF I CANT EVEN USE IT! PROGRESS IS HORRIBLE AND WEIRD. IT MAKES ME SO FRUSTRATED WHEN I PLAY THIS GAME AND IT CONSTANTLY DOES THIS, DOES NOT GIVE THE PROPER REWARD, AND THE PROGRESS IS NOT SATISFYING AT ALL. All that work and effort for nothing it feels like. It doesn’t feel like a fun game. If i wanted to put effort into something for nothing all I have to do is just look at reality. I want a game that’s FUN and SATISFYING to play. Not this.

My breaking point on this game came when I had an amazing enchantment(which costs the runic dust, one of the things they’re constantly trying to pressure you to buy) get replaced by a crappy one when I merged the tools. I made very certain I was merging with the enchantment I wanted, which worked every time when merging unenchanted stuff

But then I noticed im spending massive amounts of money( real n fake) for a MAYBE chance at axing stuff like gold mounds or blossom trees i spent money on unlocking…? Maybe I’m missing something here. I go to reforge “enchant” yo only go backwards in power! So takes away power AFTER I pay money hoping to gain power ….otherwise play repetitive boards for the maybe a chance again.

I dont get it…got me i guess. Good for people who can play all day to roll the dice at maybe enhancing tools.

good game! i enjoy it, but anytime i make a purchase, and that it does go through, it doesn’t reward me with what i bought. not even a week after the purchase. so far i had made 3 minor purchases, and I’m going to have to ask for refunds from each because i never received what i paid for. not even now (a month after the first purchase).

I got this as a preorder. I downloaded it, and it seems pretty good. The graphics look really good, there is a lot in the game, and seems pretty easy.

But there are two problems. The music is very repetitive. It gets annoying real fast. The other problem might be a bug. How the energy bar refills. If you are playing the game, it refills no problem. But if you close MergeCrafter down, your energy won’t come back. It will only do one, and then stop. For it to resume, you need to come back and open it again. It refreshes every 6 minutes I think, and so you would need to come back to the game every 6 minutes to get enough energy to do the dungeon.

It would be so much better if they changed these two things.

I absolutely love this game. I can play for hours and there’s always something to do.

However, my phone heats up A LOT when playing to the point where the screen will dim after about 30 mins of playing. And sometimes it just shuts off and displays the overheating warning.

So I’ve been playing the game for awhile but today it decides that all it will do is open to a blank screen. Since I do not know my I’d I came here to state this (support ticket won’t let me submit with out I’d). As far as I know I’m up to date with the versions do to the homepage stating open rather then update.

Great game, but a few issues prevent this from being 5 stars for me.

- Too many fruit tree have hindered my progress because I don’t have strong enough tool to chop them down and now I have 10 slots locked in as fruit trees. Same issue with mushroom and iron locked slots.

- Grindstone has “strength” but even after leveling oak items they are not “strong” enough. I think the wrong term is being used, as instead of strong, it should be “tier” or just say it needs “spruce” or something to be clearer.

- it’s very unclear how you can get the first tool to chop down spruce trees. Right now it seems like a chicken/egg issue… you need spruce planks to craft a spruce axe, but you need a spruce axe to cut down a spruce trees. Iron pickaxe is the same issue.

- I have unlocked both 2 tier dungeons long ago, but don’t have “strong” enough tool. This again seems to be out of pace as to when you get the next tier tool.

- dungeon levels are a little repetitive to grind out… it would be nice to have some variety and additional rewards for clearing so many of them.

- glass in store is listed as “no name”
- telescope unlocks but not clear what it does

1. Coal needs to be buffed or made easier to obtain in bulk. | 2. The rate at which the amount of exp. required to unlock more land increases before the desert area is too high because it is harder to obtain sand and it also requires a lot of coal to smelt the sand in bulk because even to obtain a medium cobblestone exp. jar requires a lot of coal and glass. | 3. Make it so that a medium exp. jar increases your exp. cap by slightly more than 3 smaller ones would. | 4. Add a sync feature because pick crafter had a email sync which was very useful, so please add either an email sync or an iCloud sync feature to merge crafter. | Date Written.

One of the most fun games I have even had I love this game so much that I acutlly spent some money on it. I never usually spend money on games but this one was worth it thier first game pickcrafter I loved and now another hit game. Highly recommend game but I have 1 suggestion/tweak add a auto merge feature that cost coins or runic becuase geez it is a pain to have to merge every sing pebble of everything

The first five seconds I started to play this it was already super Duper fun I am being dead serious I will play only one game in my life and it’s less because it has that just one piece of fun that makes me addicted then it gets more fun and more fun and it’s not like the other games where are you get an add every second that’s what makes it fun and you know the merging and the crafting that’s really fun too
:)

There’s enough to do to keep me occupied without it feeling overly repetitive. I especially love weapon crafting and unlocking new recipes, plus having them need repair, a feature other merge mobile games don’t have that makes it feel more robust like a non-mobile game might.

I do love the game. It has kept my interest among the merge game category. I would like to see updates adding more to do as I’m maxed level and just working on maxing my stuff. Wish the energy max bar was higher and not at 60 as you run through that energy fast if you’re on the max level for the dungeons.

When will they’re be an update to increase the camp level. Currently maxed out on it?

Still working on maxing the other stuff.

I have tried pretty much every major merge game, they are all addicting to a certain point and then you have too many things are waiting to build up. These levels are very repetitive but you’re mostly thinking about what you need to drop from the chests as a reward not the actual level. There’s definitely a steep curve to get more experience storage. And that is glass. Never merge three!

This is a great merge game. They’re is plenty of energy which refills quickly, a good storyline, and good levels. I only have two major problems. First, the trees. They can’t be moved and block a lot of space. I request that you please add the ability to move these trees. Second, money. There is no in game tutorial for collecting money that I know of, except for maybe selling items. I fear that players knew to merge games will not understand collecting money. All in all, this is one of the best merge games out there.

So I was waiting for this game to release on July. Then right when it released I downloaded it on the first minute of releasing. I played the game for more than an hour total and I already unlocked the cobblestone dungeons. It’s a very good game. Even with the major and minor bugs, it is still one of my favorite games. I didn’t mind when the offline energy glitch was a thing. In a matter of seconds this was my favorite game and my first merge game I played.

Question: Are discounts and events ever going to be in the game?

I absolutely love this game but seeing as its new I’d like to ask a question that may even give you an idea on what to do. I was wondering if this game would be different than other merge games offering a co-op? I haven’t seen a co-op merging game so I was wondering if there’s ever be something similar to that.

You incorporated everything In this game including a reset ability that in and of its self is a way to stay on my device. So far I really enjoy the game. The merge system is a little different than what I’m use to but it’s a good game

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME BUT theres a glitch where its not letting me sell any of my items and my board is getting really full and i haven’t much room to do anything. this has happened once before but then an update came out and it was fixed. possibly another bug fix update because i really want to play again. thanks guys :)
