About Merge & Blade
Merge and Blade is a fantasy puzzle game.
You will engage in large-scale battles with monsters with your own squad which is made using merge mechanics.
After a battle, you can recruit new units using merge mechanics.
By proceeding with these puzzles and battles, you will retake the castles occupied by monsters.
As you retake the castle one by one, your base and squad get stronger.
Your journey will continue until retaking the last castle.
But, even if you retake the last castle, your journey won't completely end.
There are endless invading monsters that you have to hold off.
You can battle with your friends or can save the world again with another strategy.
Are you ready to save this world?
This game is a puzzle that builds blocks that come down like Tetris, Hexa, and Puyo Puyo.
But it's not about holding out for a long time or removing blocks. it's about merging the same three or more units to create a higher class.
The goal of the puzzle is to create a squad as strong as possible within a limited turn.
You can make a much stronger squad or can get additional turns with multi-merge, combo, etc.
Battles are performed in real-time up to 25 v 25.
In battles, formation is important, as well as each unit's stats. This is because each unit has its own attack types and attack or heal ranges.
So it's good to care about the position of the unit when you place units in the puzzle part. In addition, you can use swaps to change their position in battle.
You can use gold from puzzles and battles to upgrade your base and units in your squad.
Base upgrades provide unlocking the merging list and adding the number of turns, previews, and swap.
Units upgrades increase the unit's HP and ATK, giving you an advantage in battles.
Survive from the endless monsters as long as you can with your squad you've grown.
Brag your puzzle skill in this local multi-player mode.
You can even play with your friends who don't have the game using Steam remote play.
It's another land only for the challenge mode. Make a new squad, and complete from start to finish at one go.
You can compete with other players with the defense mode score, etc.

Merge & Blade, developed and published by Magic Cube, presents a refreshing blend of puzzle and strategy elements that stands out within both genres. The game revolves around a merging mechanic where players combine identical units to create stronger warriors, forming a diverse and powerful squad. This simple yet compelling concept drives the core gameplay loop, as players engage in real-time battles against hordes of monsters while continuously upgrading their forces. The goal is to reclaim castles overrun by enemy creatures, and with each victory, players gain resources to further enhance their army and base, creating a satisfying cycle of progression. The gameplay emphasizes strategic thinking, requiring players to carefully consider unit placement and composition. Battles can feature up to 25 units on each side, and every unit comes with distinct attributes such as attack style, health, and range. This diversity forces players to balance offense and defense while making swift tactical decisions during combat. The merging mechanic adds another layer of depth, as players must decide which units to combine to maximize their strength and efficiency. The challenge lies not only in …4 found this helpful
I enjoyed it.
light puzzle type game, simple controls, liked it on xbox and on here.
TLDR: Game with surprising amount of depth for this kind of money. Good impression is hindered a bit by getting too grindy too quickly. The game doesn't look like much at first glance but the simple game mechanic offers positively surprising amount of depth and fun in it. Combined with various game modes it can get pretty addictive without getting sleezy. However, the simplicity also means that it also gets really grindy really quickly. Choice of visual may look cute but because of low res pixel graphic, it§s sometimes difficult to see what's going on. Wider variety in soundtrack would be also appreciated.
It's sooo great ;o; Please, dont stop updating it!
Decent little merge and auto battler to play while watching stuff on another screen.
