Near perfect game
Sun Nov 10 2024 xKojoI’ve been playing this game nearly every day (at least 3-4 times a week when life gets busy), and I just can’t stop for so many fun reasons. They really hit the nail on the head with the satisfaction part of merging those producers and slowly watching them upgrade and grow over time. The tasks are never too overbearing and keep you wanting to complete them. The graphics are pretty top notch and the feedback of moving/dragging/merging items is instant. Very well made game.
There’s not many critiques I have on this game but if I was to pick one, it would be the events. The events are fun and there is plenty of different kinds which is great and keeps the game fresh but I always feel like they don’t give you the proper amount of time to complete these events. Like I said in the beginning of this review, I play this multiple times a day, and even then I rarely ever come close to completing an event in it’s entirety to reap all the possible rewards. I’ve maybe been able to 2 or 3 times in two years. It seems like you’d have to open this app and play it at least 5 different times throughout each day to complete these events and that’s a bit much so I wish they were more leinant on that.
Either way this is a great time filler game, it’s satisfying, fun, well made and the BEST merge game out there hands down. I will continue to play this till who knows when. 5/5
Do the love the game but….
Tue Dec 24 2024 dncs2thmscI’ve been playing Merge Mansion for a few years now. I love the game but there are too Many things that take too Long to accomplish. I play throughout the nearly everyday. I’ve spent money to by things and I’ve played the events. I’ve never finished an event but have only come close. And that’s playing everyday. The storage boxes are too few and too expensive. I’m beginning to think this is more about making money than to get through the story line and allow your players to enjoy and get due rewards for how far they’ve come in the game. I’m getting frustrated and beginning to get bored because it takes so long to get certain things done and I get it that it us about making a little bit of money too. But I think there are too few game rewards according too accomplishment in the progress in the game. I’m Thinking of quitting and deleting the game even though I’ve invested time and money. Granny’s story was intriguing but there is little progress in the story as a whole after two years I’m Only just now getting to granny being arrested and now released. I feel I should be further in the story do I am seriously considering stopping because of the meager rewards and the slow progress even though I play the game constantly. Chalking it up to someone really wanting to Milk it for all the money you can get. I hate that because I have stuck with it for 2 years plus. It’s also taking up allot of space on my phone for what it gives in return.
Don’t go this direction with events MM…
Mon May 30 2022 AlleonhI’ve been hooked on this game for well over a year. I loved 2048 when that was a viral game and this is on that same wavelength just with purdy pictures. They’ve recently added events and t looks like there’s going to be maybe one a month now. Now I LOVE the events. They have all been entertaining. Every event has some new mechanic and you can tell they are trying to find the perfect balance. I’ve gotten to where I save my gold energies for the events so that I can maximize my play time and try to complete the event. For this one (Hopeberry festival) I know I did the best most efficient job I could without spending tangible money on it. But I just couldn’t finish the event. I had plenty of energy and gems saved up. But I just could not push past the items needed. I got close, but ultimately missed the mark. Last night I thought to myself “if I just had one more day I probably could have made it” and what do you know but when I logged in today it offered to extend the event 2 days…. For 4.99. Don’t do this. One thing I like about the game is that everything is attainable without paying. It might take longer but you can do it if you commit. I want the testing of events to be about that fine line where you can make it but you really got t work at it. Instead I think the fine line they went for was “just close enough but need that one little $5 push to actually make it”. Don’t do that. That’s just disheartening to your long time fans
Pretty good
Sat Mar 01 2025 PaisleyPanda42I find this game to be exactly what I would expect from this sort of game that’s been around for as long as it has. It reloads the app every time you shut your phone or flip to a different app for more than three seconds because the files are so big, for one thing. Another main thing is that, like any other “free” game, it is truly for profit and they have their ways of aggressively trying to push you to spend real money. However, what I like about it is that, of all the different merge games I’ve tried, it has the most ftp options and is the least aggressive in trying to get you to pay for stuff. You absolutely can play this game without spending money and it’s actually not that bad.
The game itself is fun and, at least where I’m at more toward the beginning (Rufus’ park, pool house, and romantic spot), the pacing is great and I really like having multiple spaces available to work with so you aren’t just waiting for one producer because there’s only one task in one space available. Now, to be fair, what I just described was very much a problem until I got to this point of having more options, so the pacing in the very beginning could use some work. However, I found that waiting for the one singular task I had was a great time to work on other stuff like trades or putting together the mosaic and romantic stuff, so it all worked out for me.
Overall, it’s a good game and my only complaints are capitalism and file size.
Great fun little game
Thu Aug 05 2021 AsianBazianIt’s a fun little game to play when you just want a break for a little bit. The game has the “energy” mechanic, meaning you have a limited amount of moves and then it refills after a bit, I like this mechanic because I won’t get distracted on my phone for hours. The best part of this game is that there are no ads in the game unlike quite literally 99% of mobile games. The game is also just satisfying, the reason for this is because you are placed in an environment that is in such horrible conditions and you have the magic to restore the place and it is such a beauty seeing it come from ugly to beautiful just like a caterpillar to a butterfly. I also love that there is always alternate ways to gain gems and coins and exp without having to pay real money, every day the store restocks and in comes the piggy bank and energy case as daily rewards you can claim, you can merge the piggy bank for big amounts of gems and coins, and the energy case can give you energy orbs that you can merge to grant you up to 100 energy points! Gaining exp is super easy as well, you can gain exp from merging medium tier items and or having an item in the game that generates exp now and then, remember to merge the exp stars to max for more exp. There is so much to this game and it feels like I could play it for ever, I don’t mind because this game is awesome. 15/10 recommendation.
Great game, always room for improvement
Tue Mar 08 2022 ChescaLynnThis is a perfect game for people who want something to play throughout the day. The energy system needs time to refill, as does the generators, and so unless you spend gems on energy I’d say you get a good 10 minutes of gameplay every few hours once you’re past the tutorial part of the game. I really enjoy the side-quests that you play in order to gain special items within the game to finish large sections, and I enjoy the decorations and the holiday specials you play to gain the decorations you like (you don’t have to buy ones you don’t!)
My one critique is, I wish there was a system to see where things came from. Some items come from the merging of several items into limited time generators (dressers give vases, vases give strange jewelry and tiles, and strange jewelry gives you more items from there). I have memory issues and sometimes have no idea where to find the items the game is asking me to give them. A system that allows you to track where you got something is really helpful, even if you don’t get to see past the generators (if you don’t want to spoil the upgrades).
Other then that, I love this game. I have ADHD so I’m careful with the games I keep around, because otherwise I can lose hours without realizing it. This game is the perfect balance, great fun and progress for a short amount of time with cute graphics and adorable scenery as you upgrade it. Highly recommend!!!
Cool game! Except...
Tue Mar 23 2021 ByteHive33495I like merge games, and when you put in a solid objective like restoring a mansion, it becomes a really fun game. Here are some problems though. First, it’s very slow. Waiting on the energy to charge up takes longer than it needs to. Instead of getting one energy every two minutes, why not every one minute? That seem like a more reasonable time. Second, the story is ridiculous. There is a little context to what’s going on, but the characters rarely talk. It takes a long time to develop through the story. It would be nice if the characters at least commented on everything I put so time into. Third, as you progress through the merging section, you discover a lot of items, but before you know it you’ve run out of space. I could sell some items to free up space, but then what if I need them in the future? I could also put things away in storage, but then I would run out of room in that and STILL have to sell things, cutting back on the final item in the list. What you could do is increase the amount of space you have on the board, or make storage expansions WAY cheaper. You don’t need to price one cell at 3000 coins.
IF (and a big if) these problems are fixed, I’m sure the game will become far more enjoyable, and definitely deserving of five stars. Until then, I’ll be stuck for a while. Thank you for reading.
Price Gouging and FOMO Bait
Wed Feb 08 2023 LadyDBanksI like this game and have been playing it for a few years. Occasionally I’ll spend some money on gems (like no more than 5.99) and I wait for a deal because that’s the best time. I do this because the game is ad free and doesn’t take forever to load. However, recently with their events there is always some items that are either impossible to get without spending real money or spending a ton of time on. Most recently with the valentines event they keep asking for these fuzzy slippers to meet challenge goals and to fill spa tickets. To do this you have to spend energy to get the gift boxes. Spend energy to get the gift bags. Merge a bunch of gift bags to get the luggage. By the time you do that most of your energy is spent. The luggage only spits out maybe about 20 items and most of them are clothes. Not shoes. Then you need to keep merging shoes like 6-7 times to get these slippers. This means that to be able to keep up with challenges you either have to spend real money or you have to time it out to play every moment your energy is refilled and keep coming back. I don’t mind a bit of a challenge but this is obviously a money grab and using FOMO to get people to spend. Maybe work on that a bit. As it is I haven’t spent any money on gems for months and I refuse to spend money as of now because I can see what you’re doing with these events. It’s predatory and I’m not sure it’s worth my time anymore. It’s definitely not worth my money.
Overall great game
Fri Aug 11 2023 uxrooPlaying this game for over one year, managed to finally clean 95% of outside and enter the mansion (not yet done the boat part). Overall it's fun little game you can play whenever you want but i start noticing with time they're constantly pushing more and more paid content. Sure game needs to have income and i'm fine with that (even paid around 15$ for it myself) but what I absolutely hate is events. They started to push those big events which even give you chances to decorate front, which is great but small problem is there is only like around 7 areas you can change and with each event it gives you same area to re-decorate for 10$ if you manage to unlock (not to mention you can't really see that area most of the time). Fine by me but what i hate about it is the fact that you can't turn it off. Game gives you stars for merged items, then it gives duplicate of item time to time if you want to buy it which turns in coin and now every two weeks there is event lasting for a month or so constantly spamming with random items with which you unlock free or paid rewards. With time this gets really annoying and i wish there would be chance to turn it off. (Now this is probably 5th event with items spawning every few merges) and tbh for 10$ not really worth it. Sure there are some other minor problems but they fix them fairly soon.
Fun but lead to a delete and reinstall
Thu Aug 18 2022 Saplings5527839I was enjoying the game, and honestly didn’t mind the slow pace of it. This is the first time I’ve played a game like this so I am still getting used to it. I got to maybe my 2nd/3rd task and it ended up with me merging so many items that I reached level 6 in the game, and my playing board filled up to the point of not being able to make any more merges. I surpassed the goal item (3 merge item) all the way to one that was 10 merges, but the game didn’t let me complete my task and am stuck with a board that is too full to continue merging items.
I’d read an online forum that the game allows you to inventory items at around level 4 or 5, but there wasn’t anything I could find to help clear the board which at that point was mostly generator items, maxed out merge items, items that were seemingly random (but came with xp and coins that you could collect along the way), and a few locked items I had yet to merge with.
My best guess is that I was supposed to leave one of the items on the board that was the level 3 merge way ahead of me surpassing the the 10th merge item (total merges this item has is 14). Hoping that being able to reign in the willingness to endlessly merge items to the end of time will be the solution after deleting and redownloading lol
