Great game with lots of 0 $ opportunities
Wed Jul 20 2022 Mommmmmmmmmm23This game is great. It has several side games to give you other things to do while waiting for time on developing objects. They give you several items that help success and a more flowing progress. This makes games so much more fun because when we feel like we’re getting somewhere, we want to keep going. When we’re spending time on something and it takes sssooo lllooonnnggg then its not even worth the time or effort. So I really appreciate the developers who help us along with helper items. Yes, you can spend money, but there are many options for gain by watching an ad. I don’t think thats an issue at all. You can choose to watch a 30 second add for the bonus, or not. It gives the developers a little money when we watch them so it makes it possible for them to give us a game thats not dependent on us spending cash. I often click on the ad just to help out in that area.
The only gripe I have right now are that two of the islands share energy. The energy is only enough to play one island successfully so I just don’t play the other. It would be nice to be able to.
All in all this is a very well developed game with us players in mind. Hopefully the model will continue this way so we can continue to play.
Fun! fun!
Fri Aug 12 2022 all nicknames taken grrI pretty much never write reviews bu for this game I had too. It is most def a merge game worth playing. The mechanics of the game are pretty much the same. Match and merge to bigger and better. But this game is not just myth and magic. It adds missions based on the reality of the player with a hint of imagination thrown in for fun. You see it in the post office the fire dept, the dairy farm and more. That realism a player can relate to that creates an environment in which the want to keep playing to see what else they can create that is familiar. It encourages without being in your face the desire to complete missions, open more places, gather more, complete daily tasks, etc. And it all flows so well that unless you consciously pay attention to each cog like I did so I could write this review. I played for 3 1/2 hours before I even realized all the nuances happening. And the music relaxes without jarring your senses. I find this game to be fun and enjoyable across the board. Appropriate for 7 and up. It is sure to tantalize one with hours and hours of fun. Kudos to the creators and staff for an excellent job imo
too many popups
Sat Nov 16 2024 the real meltywas looking for some mindless stuff to occupy my time, and this one was by far the worst decision. this game wants you to spend money so bad you can’t go five minutes without it giving you a pop up trying to sell you things. i didn’t touch the screen for a few minutes bc i was responding to someone talking to me in real life and when i looked back there was ANOTHER bundle offer on my screen. you can literally sit there and do NOTHING and they still come at you like a pack of jehovah’s witnesses high on the scent of nonbelievers.
also it treats you like you’re stupid. the amount of times the game stopped to teach me the same mechanics i already knew was infuriating. the events are especially guilty of this. it slows down everything you’re doing to highlight an item and show you exactly where to put it instead of having any faith in you to have literally any amount of brain cells to know what’s going on. maybe i just have too much faith in the intelligence of the general public, but having my brain off game constantly interrupt me to tell me how to do the same thing ive already been doing for days is annoying. they really think ur so dumb u can’t figure out anything on your own. they show you putting the square peg in the square hole before just letting you do it as if you’re a toddler.
0/10 as a person above the age of 6. if you’re 6 or under i dunno maybe this will do some cocomelon to your brain or something i don’t know how toddlers work
Favorite game but have a few issues
Mon Sep 12 2022 KR!$-First off, I saved a bunch of cash 799 for that little island and what’s on the island is definitely NOT worth what’s on it. I think there should be a lot more on it. And think I should get something for it. I used a bunch of things like the rainbow rocks just to get enough cash for it. And went through a bunch of stuff just to save up for it and it’s ridiculous. I also have a suggestion with the characters. They take up spots and I don’t see why. You could make them invisible I’m not sure how to put it. You can just go the side bar to collect the pinwheels and coins or a collect all that are ready to be collects. There’s not enough room for anything. I have to keep using the shovel just to clear one spot and do that over and over and I’m just loosing items. Everything too expensive and not worth it at that point. It’s just frustrating especially the pop ups. Introducing new events and saying old ones ended right after each other I’m in such a hurry to click all them off I don’t get to collect my stuff from that event because I forget and just to hurry through. This is my favorite game but I’m starting to think I’m wasting my time and energy on this game. You need to actually fix stuff and make it better. I have MANY more problems and suggestions I’m sure other people do too. So do better please.
A great game at free intro levels but not at advanced levels
Wed Jul 27 2022 IAmMelissa2I am a Merge County player - currently at LEGEND level - who made A LOT of in-app purchases. I *WAS* addicted to this game - but not anymore. The game owners are about to lose a paying customer. In fact, I actually enjoyed this game more when I played at less advanced (and free) levels. Not a great business model.
Here is one of the biggest problems out of several big problems. The amount of pinwheels it takes to open new locations in the “County” is unbalanced and unfair, especially in comparison to all other aspects of the game. Superficially, it seems logical (and profitable for the game developers); the more a player advances the more difficult advancement gets - a challenge to encourage more playing. However, in reality, I am having to SLOW my building speed down just to wait on pinwheel accumulation. I literally have “bouncing” buildings waiting for the platforms, which is distracting, takes up valuable space and prevents the ability to build more. I have achieved several new characters but no “home(s)” for them. This makes absolutely NO sense.
It is EXTREMELY frustrating, and I am no longer enjoying the game. It has become monotonous to play instead of fun and challenging. This flaw, among others, will now cause a loss of profit for the game owners. Sadly, the same is about to be true of my play in Merge Fables. Other game companies are now profiting.
Frustrating Events
Wed Jul 16 2025 Freyja_VThe game is fun overall but I am beyond frustrated with events. They require impossible amounts of energy. I grudgingly bought energy many times using cash and coins earned in the game and even real money $$$ but every time I get stuck at 98% and run out of time, so all that effort and money was wasted. I am SO FRUSTRATED it should not cost $50-$100 to complete an event, I should be able to just work hard and play often to get at least some rewards. I am gonna ignore events from now on and just play the main island but I’m getting close to giving up on this game. They need to make events more achievable and give partial rewards for partial completion.
Update: I am deleting this app and I will explain why. I renewed my efforts for the next event because I really wanted the decor. I logged constantly, used every scrap of energy, devoted every coin and game currency to buying only event energy (neglected main island), was very careful to only merge 5 or 3 as needed to not waste energy, maximized my rewards at every turn, watched every ad to earn more energy….and event spent way too much real $$$ to buy more energy…. But I came nowhere even CLOSE to completing the event. The event requires thousands of energy, there is no way to earn it. This game is straight up pay-to-play but worst of all, it takes HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS to complete an event, not $5 or even $20. HUNDREDS. I am disgusted.
addicted to this game but!
Fri May 13 2022 lowlifebouI have had this game for probably over a year now And I love everything about it except with the bonus energy, which can sometimes be missed and that’s okay. you have other chances through out the day but there are just so many spaces to choose for your “random energy” up to 250 bonus energy is apparently somewhere in the mix, I personally have never received anything higher than 150 over the year and the lowest I’ve received is 40(the one I get most often) even if I had already gotten 40 for the previous chance. You only get like 4 or 5 and there’s I believe 15 spaces to choose from. I think it would just be nice to get a different one every time you go to claim your bonus energy. Like you can’t click on the one you did before? Obviously would reset next day. And just maybe once get a decent number… I have only received anything over 100 MAYBE 5 times through the entire time of me playing! Still love the game and would never delete it lol 5 stars from me that’s the only thing I wish they’d change!
Love this game!
Sat Sep 17 2022 Macaroni_cheezeThis is honestly my favorite game! The best part of the game is you get enough rewards you don’t actually have to spend money if you don’t want to - which is huge factor for me. The only down side I would say is the additional games they add into the “main” part of the game take waaayyy too much energy to participate in. You'll go go go, but then all of sudden need 50 energy to get anything. To get the good rewards you don’t ever have enough energy or you are pretty much screwing your self over for anything else you’re trying to do.
Lastly, the additional bonus areas are impossible to get the main reward if you’re a normal person that doesn’t focus on this game 24/7. They’re still fun and a great way to keep playing if you’re out of energy in another area. Ultimately though a great game! Still lots of opportunity to win rewards & continue on within the game. Hardly any ads unless you choose to watch them for bonuses.
Excessive Pop Ups
Tue May 10 2022 LadyDhestroyerI previously wrote a review about there needing to be a skip option for the tutorial due to it not being functionally any different from other merge games and too long. Well, I’m taking another star off for the excessive number of pop ups. I open the game and I’m bombarded with all of these screen pop ups about this or that event. I spent several minutes just clicking through them all. This event has ended! Ok. Want to pay for the next item you didn’t reach? No. Are you sure you don’t want it? YES IM SURE!!! Rinse repeat that about 3-4 more times. Then there’s the constant banners for each quest completion and new objectives and the “buy this for real money” things that again ask “Are you sure?” When you click no thank you.
Really people, it’s too much. I’m deleting the game because it’s all so intrusive. I want to just play and enjoy the game, not to have to click repeatedly through pop up’s and prompts to buy XYZ thing for real money. I CAN’T be the only person feeling this. Give us the option to turn all of that off, opt out of all these “events”, and yes skip the cut scenes/tutorials. Better yet calm that all the way down. I really wanted to enjoy this game but nope.
My first merge game!
Mon Jan 01 2024 Red G-MaI would have given this 5 stars, BUT there are definitely some issues that are turning this from being my favorite game to one I’m about ready to delete! Main complaints are, guess what? NO ROOM! After you play this game for a while it gets very frustrating. There’s never enough room!! I spend my time simply trying to find enough room for everything they keep adding! They’ll do these little additions to the game, not side mini games mind you, but ones they drop limited time mines in the main area. These add what seem to be useless items. I call them ‘space wasters’! And the speedy guys take up MORE space. The solution is to keep spending real money. I would, but I have developed a “you make this game playable in the higher levels and I’ll spend some money”. But, not when it just makes me frustrated every time I enter the game. Please fix it or I’ll have no choice but to delete it. And please don’t answer me by telling me to spend my money! Could be a very good game, but it’s too frustrating. 😣
