Merge Mansion review

Merge Mansion places third for players who care about story as much as merging. Metacore describes it as the original merge puzzle game: you merge matching items to complete tasks, and each task restores a part of a forgotten mansion and its garden while clues about Grandma and the Boulton family's past come together. Renovation is personal, since you collect themed decorations and customize the home. Limited-time events add leaderboards and decorations, and the listing shows a new season running at the time of our check. The game is free, with gem packs from $1.99 and Premium and Mystery passes sold separately; Metacore notes that randomized items may be offered for purchase and that payments can be switched off in device settings. The weak points are an English-only App Store listing and a 13+ rating with advertising. For a lighter story with simpler merges, Travel Town is the alternative. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not follow the full story.
