I’m not sure if this is a better or worse system, but is the only game on this list that does it like that. I also like that you have a lot of goals at once so that you don’t feel like you’re wasting energy if you spawn and merge items that aren’t related to a current goal when the spawner you actually need is reloading.Īnother thing that makes this game unique is that instead of just unlocking new renovations or parts of the story with each goal you fulfill, you get coins for fulfilling goals that you can then spend on the construction stages, that come with additional parts of the story in turn. I really like this game’s vibrant colors and beautiful items, and the fact that all of your goals are shown right above you which is less frustrating than having to switch back and forth between your goals tab. (It also has the common thread of using energy, coins, diamonds and a level system, all using similar symbolism as the rest of the games.) However, the basic gameplay is the same as Merge Mansion and all the other games, so I think it’s fair to put it in the same category. So this game is actually the one on the list that is the least like Merge Mansion, and I wouldn’t really call it a copycat unlike some of the other games on the list. This way instead of going by which games I just liked overall, you can pick which game you’d like to play based on the aspects that are important to you! (All of these metrics and scores will be broken down and explained further below.) Here is a handy-dandy rubric I used to score and compare each game to the best of my ability. I enjoy these games because it’s satisfying to merge things together and discover new items. The objective is to fulfill tasks the game gives you to obtain certain items by making enough merges. You can usually create new spawners by merging special parts together too, and create more powerful spawners by merging together two of the same spawner. The items spawn from other items (I don’t know if there’s a technical name but I call them spawners), which you usually need to tap in order to put more mergeable items on the board. If you’ve never played Merge Mansion or similar games, the concept is basically merging together two of the same item to get higher-level items of the same category.

I noticed an ad for what seemed to be practically the same exact game as Merge Mansion, so instead of doing an individual review for it, I decided to find as many Merge Mansion dupes as I could and review and rank them all!
