About Merge


Merge is an innovational 2~4 players shooter party game, which can also play single player with computer. Each player plays as a mystery creature called "I"(little eye), which is weak, helpless but greedy and fierce. It can parasitize and control every weapon or defense component it attaches. One day several "I"s meet in a small space and everyone wants to be king. While becoming larger and stronger, players must control their "I"s to fight with each other until last one survives.

During each round of the game, players are born within a survive circle and will get damage beyond the circle. At first there are random components around players and after a while floating supplies will come, attack the supplies then it will drop new components. Player must pick as many components as they can to become stronger to win the game. And each weapon has different feature to help to fight your opponents.

Defeated core of supply or other players will drop a golden core. Collect this golden core can let you achieve ultimate skills. Skill of one core is a beam sword, skill of two cores is a reflection shield which can reflect the bullets and skill of three cores is to summon 12 sniper rifles to shoot your opponents.

As a new comer we recommend you begin from first level as weapons are introduced step by step. If you are already familiar with the game and want to play high with your friends, you can choose the Total Battle mode in levels menu to have 5 rounds game with all the mechanism.

This game was developed as a student project at DigiPen Institute of Technology and was created for educational purposes only. Please check out our publisher page for more information.

Pretty boring once you get used to it, which was pretty quick.

Merge is a free multiplayer/botmatch 2D top down shooter with a neat gimmick, you are a little like a Katamari and you must collect various things which will form your structure and weapons. You should try to collect weapons that face the right direction, because you can't change that after you've "stuck" to them. There's some novel ideas here but the technical implementation is lacklustre, with no modern HD support, just a couple of resolutions to choose from, and upscaled fullscreen mode. Controls are locked, too, and can't be changed. Those technical flaws and the limited scope of gameplay (multiplayer, with no players, and bots that are just too good) make the game unrecommendable, even though it's free.

Игра 'Merge' оказалась на удивление затягивающей. Простота механики поначалу обманчива, но как только начинаешь понимать систему комбинаций и стратегического размещения предметов, становится интересно планировать каждый ход. Графика милая и ненавязчивая, а звуковое сопровождение не раздражает, что важно для игр, в которые можно играть часами. Однако, у игры есть и недостатки. Прогресс иногда кажется слишком медленным, особенно на поздних этапах. Это может привести к ощущению рутины и заставить зайти в игру только ради ежедневных наград. Кроме того, в некоторых областях не хватает четкого объяснения правил, что вынуждает полагаться на метод проб и ошибок. В целом, 'Merge' - это приятная казуальная игра, которая хорошо подходит для коротких перерывов или расслабляющего времяпрепровождения. Если вам нравятся игры-головоломки и вы не возражаете против grind, то 'Merge' может вам понравиться. Но будьте готовы к тому, что прогресс может быть не всегда быстрым, и иногда придётся разбираться во всем самому.

It's rubish, on controller you don't have the enter key and you need it to access anything in the menu, also I didn't find the rotate buttons on the controller, the most funny part is that they say it's best played with a controller
