Alcatmist: Merge & Story

I’m not usually a huge fan of merging games since they require little to no effort, but this game had me hooked immediately. It’s incredibly unique in how you have to add different merged ingredients together to make special items. And if you’re like me and hate games that force ads on you every few seconds, I’ve got great news for you: all ads are completely optional! That’s right, if you want to go through the entire game without watching a single ad or paying to remove them, you can! I love this app, and it’s incredibly addictive. The story isn’t messily thrown together, and the characters actually have backgrounds that draw you in more instead of lazily crafted backstory that doesn’t even contribute to the plot. I will vouch for this game any day. It’s fantastic, and I would definitely recommend getting it.

I think this is a very good, well made mobile game. The main merge gameplay is simple but still fun and the rest of the game is really nice. The UI and the world look a little too bland and simple for me though, for the UI I would definitely like to see it go more the cat route, maybe add some cat ears on the menu or cat faces or both, for the world maybe instead of a simple forest it’s in a medieval town. Though I did have some nitpicks. I wasn’t expecting this game to have a “battle pass” and micro transactions, these two don’t affect me as much as I don’t plan on buying these. What I do have a problem with is the micro transactions for the gems, this is completely unnecessary and adds nothing to the game. I also have a problem with the energy system, which if I run out of obviously doesn’t allow me to play. In summary those last two are the biggest issues due to them being unnecessary in this type of game, the battle pass and micro transactions are pretty meh. But other than that I will definitely keep playing the game, it’s really fun and it’s got me hooked.

This ad is a bit long, but it’s (hopefully) helpful to know if you should install it! So, I came into this game assuming it’d be bad, as I do with most games. Low quality ads and such. But this game isn’t bad! It’s a merge game where you have factories (that’s what they’re called, it doesn’t auto-generate, you have to tap it) that use energy to make more items, and you sell those items to customers. Somewhat overused, but this game makes it so you can merge stuff into scrolls and potions! I really enjoy it. There’s also not been the typical bombardment of ads, though you’re given chances to use ads to regenerate energy, restock the factories (they run out of items and have like a 2 minute cooldown or something like that), speed up crafting, I think some other stuff. Anyways, I’m rambling. The art is cute, the designs are nice, generally just a pleasant game! (this sounds so fake sorry lol) A tip for the developers: Quality ads are important! Try to reflect the game better! Currently, your ads are worse than the actual game and don’t attract many people. Best of luck!
