Merge County review

Merge County describes itself as the first town-themed merge game, and its premise is simple: return to your childhood home of Newburyton and drag it into the 21st century by merging crafting materials and other items. Residents give you character tasks, and leveling up opens new areas, characters and merges. Event islands sell their own gifts and gold tickets. It is one of the cheapest games here to spend a little on, with energy bundles from $0.99, and like its Microfun siblings it supports iOS 13.0, Apple silicon Macs and Android. It ranks last because the App Store description documents far fewer systems than the rest of the list, and the 3.5 GB download is the largest here by a wide margin, which matters on a phone short of storage. The listing also shows loot boxes and advertising. Seaside Escape and Gossip Harbor, from the same studio, offer stronger stories. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test load times.
