Brave Merge - Battle & Defense in IOS

The undead are attacking!

Our Expert Score

84/100

Brave Merge Battle Defense successfully bridges the gap between a chill puzzle game and a tense tower defense title. The 'merge' mechanic is used brilliantly here; rather than just matching items for points, you are creating more powerful warriors to hold back increasingly difficult waves of enemies. There is a genuine sense of strategic tension as you decide whether to merge your two Level 3 archers into a single Level 4 powerhouse or keep them separate to cover more ground.

The progression system is meaty, with a wide variety of units to unlock—from standard swordsmen to mythical mages. The boss encounters at the end of each stage act as perfect skill checks, forcing you to optimize your board layout. It’s a game that respects your time; the levels are short enough for quick bursts, but the depth of the upgrade tree provides a compelling reason to stick around for the long haul.

► IT’S A MONSTER EMERGENCY

The armies of the undead have invaded your kingdom, and it’s down to you to win back your lands village by village. Hire warriors and head into to battle with the zombie hordes to rid your realm of the undead scourge. Turn your army of simple peasant soldiers into an elite squad of mighty knights by merging them, unlock all sorts of village buildings to earn passive income as you progress through the game, and invest your gains back into defense of your realm in this colorful and entertaining adventure game that combines time management with strategy and combat.

► ARE YOU READY FOR BATTLE?

◾What heroes are made of: To beat the zombies in battle, you’ll need to level up fast. Hire new troops and merge them with other warriors of the same level to increase their combat effectiveness.

◾Turn plowshares to swords: Your warriors start off having only simple clubs to bludgeon the zombies with, but as you level them up they get battle axes, armor, longswords and more, turning them into real knights and slashing the time it takes to deal with the undead.

◾Climb the tower: Liberate towers, and you’ll discover your warriors are just as useful with bows as they are with swords, dealing ranged attacks on zombies all around them.

◾What is that thing? If you think swarms of skeletal zombies are the worst you’ll have to fight in this game, wait until you see their leaders – each village you come to also has a fearsome monster boss you’ll have to do battle with before you can move on. Make sure you’ve got plenty of high-level warriors to face them.

► IT’S ALL ABOUT RESOURCES

◾Getting back to work: As you clear areas of the undead, the village will be able to start functioning again, and it’s you that gets the income from the buildings you rescue, including taverns, forges, sawmills and temples.

◾Coining it: Buildings will add to the coins you earn from beating zombies in battle. Be sure to collect your earnings regularly to maximize the amount you can invest in your army – hiring new knights gets expensive fast.

◾Joys of automation: Make your industries even more efficient by automating revenue collection so that you can enjoy truly passive income while devoting your energies and attention to defense of your kingdom and defeating the undead in battle.

◾If I had a hammer… The game has a second currency that can also be won in combat and earned from chests. In conjunction with collectible building cards, hammers allow you to upgrade buildings and further increase your earnings.
