I enjoy this game. I had to restart the game three times because there was always a point where I had too many items, not enough storage and it became a stalemate. There is not enough storage and it becomes far too expensive to buy more slots. I feel that if there is more than one of the same object these should be accrued in the one slot. Some items required turn up early in the game. For example the tin can for the statue. The tree that supplies the items to merge to reach the tin can doesn’t spawn enough items and it is frustrating that it always spawns an odd number. This means taking up space on the board or storage slot to keep that odd item ‘just in case’. This game has taught me patience. In the beginning I tried to merge as much as possible to clear each goal. Now I merge what I can then leave the game till the items I need are available again for spawning. Also the 3 day event is pretty pointless at the moment. Nowadays I use it mainly to increase the xp to move to the next level. The storyline is so slow to appear it is practically non existent. Also I am confused about the levels. In what i assume to be the first level i have completed tasks that take me to a gate that can only be opened at level 55! Other levels available are 14 & 17. Isn’t there any sequence here? And basically at my age I don’t have the time it takes to achieve some of the tasks and to reach level 55?…forget it. I think the planet would have returned to the planet of the apes by the time that happens. I told you I am old. I think a consecutive sequence of levels, faster storyline (for gods sake there is building mystery and just plain tedium) and the opportunity to buy ANY item needed rather than just what you think we need when we don’t. Might actually make more money that way. Overall the game can be interesting but don’t expect a fast paced game. As i said patience is a virtue.

Alright, hear me out, this game is good and all, a nice storyline, unique gameplay, interesting events and makes you want to finish it. The thing is, 1. It takes a lot of patience and 2. For impatient people, it can make you lose a lot of your in-game money and gems. Firstly, of course I must agree with other people. It only gives you 100 energy at first, and although that may sound like a lot to new players and people skimming through game reviews, it’s NOT. Over days and weeks and months and perhaps years (if you’re that patient), you’re going to need much more than just 100 energy if you want to complete the tasks efficiently. Secondly, DO NOT, AND I REPEAT, DO *NOT* waste any real-life money on in-game currencies. It’s pretty useless. Very useless. You’re just going to be running your head off, wasting those gems on something you can wait for instead. Overall, I really appreciate that this game exists, but it’s just not very good for whiny 5 year olds who begs their parents to purchase in-game gems just so they can complete the game’s task. They update constantly and it’s honestly kind of frustrating because you feel like there’s so much to do. Yes, the gameplay is enjoyable, but if you want to save GB memory on your device, don’t get it. Besides, the game does ‘t even include that much content based on the ads, which is super annoying for people who want some added mystery and drama. Other than those issues, I thoroughly enjoy playing the game and what it holds for the future.

I’ve been playing Merge Mansion for a few years now and sadly it has been getting worse as time has gone by. It has become apparent to me that helpful rewards for completing tasks, and helpful rewards given as part of the Mystery Pass have decreased. The nail in the coffin has been creating collectible cards as rewards, and doing a two-tier system for the Mystery Pass. The collectible cards collections are virtually unachievable without spending copious amount of money. The rewards they yield for completing collections are also not that great considering the amount of effort required. I had been purchasing the mystery pass for a while but have since stopped when it was clear the rewards were not as good as they used to be. The collectible cards are a scam for Metacore to decrease the amount of rewards they give out to enable a smoother progression through the game. Unfortunately the developers have been ignoring my feedback as well as feedback from other users. The actual process of merging items is a delightful concept, and the intriguing story line has kept me a loyal gamer for years. But Metacore now appear to be too money hungry to do better by the players that have supported Merge Mansion for so long. I fear at some point I’m just going to give up and stop playing altogether…

I’ve been playing this game for quite awhile now. It does take patience and some of the things that you need to complete task will take up to weeks to get and you need them quite often in different stages which is quite annoying and you only get 100 energy which goes in no time at all and yes the backstory is quite boring plus all the side games that just means if you play them it takes you twice as long to get to where you want to be in the main game and all the time updates updates, updates, but I will keep continuing to play as it relaxes me but it and teaching me patienceI also want to know when you win extra energy only sometimes it gets added to the already energy that I have but most of the time lately like just example now I won 30 energy and a 25 energy and my energy was on 65 and it never moved an inch and that’s been quiet regular of late most annoying

The game is very enjoyable and becomes even better as you advance. The grandma backstory is totally boring. All of the ‘characters’ are uninteresting and boring. Their vacuous ‘conversations’ are mere interruptions and add nothing to the game. As a software analyst however, I was disappointed to notice that the normal statistical behaviour of the ‘generators’ is occasionally deliberately skewed to make it very hard to complete ‘big’ tasks (like wax) without spending money. The things you need are actively ‘reduced’ from appearing until you finish the task, then their normal behaviour comes back again. This was extremely noticeable. In my opinion, this is deceptive. Naturally, the game engine knows exactly what you need and thus throttles the relevant generator, and offers the needed items for sale in the shop. I have no problem paying for gems when I need them, but when you manipulate the gameplay so blatantly I lose interest because you are manipulating all your customers. Most people might not notice this, but I’m a software data analyst with decades of experience and it is totally plain to see.

I absolutely love this game but it does not give you enough energy to be able to do much at all. I also found my game wants rarer items to be able to do anything at all so I have to wait all day to get to open the one box that could possibly contain what I need. I purchased diamonds with real money and then ran out of storage in 5 minutes so couldn’t continue anyway. Also if I wanted to purchase more energy it doubled the price after the first one what a rort. The game board needs to be bigger and bigger cheaper storage it quadruples in price every one and right from the start becomes too expensive to get more and save more valuable items. So I’m reality I have spent money to play more and didn’t get anywhere except and extra 5 minutes this game runs out of incentives too quick and doesn’t last anywhere near long enough

Sorry but this addition of the kinda slot machine mechanic is ick. You press a button, things fall, they zap together, you watch it happen, you get some kinda prize. Repeat. There’s nothing to do just sit and watch? Snore! I wanna actually DO something for the prizes, not sit and watch things happen. I even got a “regenerate” style button like somehow I failed in my watching things fall that I didn’t beat the score the machine said I needed? Errr what? And what are the things that fall? Ugly tin cans? Bits of ugly yellow snot? It’s not like I can click on the bits of garbage falling out the chute to find out what it is… Try again and come up with a better idea where I can actually merge things (that aren't floating snot particles) together like the game is all about. I am a huge fan and been playing for years every day but this was such a boring, ugly addition I felt I needed to say something.

Also do none of the reviews understand how these sorts of games are meant to work? This isn’t a game that is meant to be played all day, that’s half the point. Go play minecraft or something, not literally any mobile game. I don’t get ads on games for some reason I have no idea why, but I don’t think this game has ads that aren’t “you CAN watch an ad for rewards” so they can’t make money off of that, artists work hard on this game, do you want them to go on unpaid? I think their prices are actually really good. You’re MEANT to wait for this game and it’s not the games fault if you can’t wait. But also why do so many people just walk through the gates into the mansion and jumpscare poor Maddie who’s already going through it like just ring the doorbell or something the poor girl has no privacy

Finally! A fun minigame oriented story with no overpopulated ads or flashing microtransactions! The bar is so low, yet here I am writing a review specifically to congratulate Merge Mansion for stepping over it. But despite that, it’s so refreshing. If you get any highly advertised mobile puzzle game, get this one. The resources are plentiful with enough patience, ‘premium’ resources like diamonds and coins are easy to come by with a shorter amount of time (compared to other games in the genre). The gameplay is... as advertised mostly, and the story isn’t my cup of tea but i appreciate the dedication the devs put into its world building, and gives simple things an interesting flavour.This game is best suited for those who want to check in during their breaks and have things to collect, merge, then go back to doing life, without the extremely obvious money grabbing that others in the genre have.

I have been playing this game for years now. And it just seems to be getting harder to progress. Currently I am on level 43, I play a few times a game & still seem to not be getting anywhere. I am rebuilding Heikkis Sauna and the introduction of the boards and battons to progress is absolutely frustrating. It takes hundreds of “lives” to get to the saw from the workbench to drop into the recycled wood to produce the boards and battons. It makes me want to give up on the game entirely. Once you do get the recycled wood to produce it barely produces enough to get through one “job” . This seems to be happening more and more, also with the debris, this makes no sense & needing to get a crowbar to produce some nails again uses lives. As a long term player who does regularly invest money to move forward I have to say this latest introduction of lumber & nails has made me want to give up. The knitting basket & workbench take so long to get to the highest options & makes the game drag out so much more than it used too. Very disappointing.
