Train Attack: Merge War

I don’t normally write reviews but I wanted to share my experience of this game. I don’t have a lot of time in it. However I feel I can speak from some level of experience as a game designer. This game grabbed my attention because I was really enjoying their ads every time it would pop up. However when I actually started playing the game I realized just how little I actually got to play. After every other key is an ad, after every battle is an ad. Lingering longer than a minute is an ad. I feel like there’s more ads than game time. Another thing I noticed is level 1 was easy. Level 2 I can’t even beat the first section. What is going on here? Is my RNGesus that bad? None of my level up decisions matter and I’ve replayed level 2 6 times. I’m scoring this low because I know I can make a more fun game in unreal.

Cute and fun little game that can get addictive, yep, pay to get rid of ads, but game was fun enough to justify that until I hit the 3rd world and then it quit mid-stream. Looks like when player hits level 7 in the 5th level of Death Factory (Chapter 3) that the disconnect occurs. You can see the “blink” when you go from 6 to 7 and the all you have is background scroll. Logic error, perhaps? I’m only putting this here as the publisher (Mad Pixe ) has no support, and I am looking to locate a way to contact the developer (Slaffski?) to get this fixed as this has some potential, if you can get past this point.

This game is fun but the ads are intentionally a pain and the game desperately needs an update. The ads are a real pain, even after purchasing no-ads you still get a constant stream of ads. It’s like donating to a wish fountain that doesn’t have water. Then there are the other problems. Too many levels have to be restarted because the “clear stage” doesn’t happen. Then there is the problem where the intermittent options don’t match the items you possess. Plus, the initial item selections keep displaying the same items regards the amount of times one refreshes the options. There are several more problems but I feel like I’ve spent too much time on this game already.
