Dinsun Review
I didn't expect much from a game called 'Slime Legion,' but the combination of merging and roguelike skill choices is actually fairly well-tuned. It’s got that 'one more round' feel that most of these mobile games aim for but miss. You’re constantly weighing whether to merge a unit now or wait for a better synergy, and the roguelike power-ups add a layer of RNG that keeps things from being too predictable.
Of course, it’s not perfect. Like most of its kin, the gold economy starts to feel very restrictive as you progress, pushing you toward ads or purchases just to keep your units viable. The art is 'cute-sy' generic monster stuff, which I could take or leave. But strictly as a strategy game to pick up for 15 minutes, it’s better than 90% of the junk in the Adventure category. It’s a solid B-minus effort.
