This game put out by Shark Jump is an idle/merge game. There are 3 main areas to place towers or vehicles. This is not the typical tower defense game. There is no danger to the player so it is a chill game.


The first section is the keep. Crates deliver turrets based on whatever upgrades you have. Along the top is the area name, scraps, and diamonds. The bottom row of towers contain plots that must be purchased. Temporarily by scraps or permanently by diamonds.

Scraps are the basic currency you get based on the total number of towers and their combined levels. You use scrap on some upgrades and to buy more turrets. More on these later.

Diamonds are the premium currency. There are obtainable through gameplay. It is very possible to get all the upgrades without spending money.

Lastly, birds show up like the Phoenix. You click on them for rewards.

The second area is the trails. Goblins on elephants attack. Again this doesn't amount to anything. The turrets get infused with magic, becoming stronger and provides more scraps.



In the last area, there are no turrets, but you get tanks, Mechs, and airships. Each is powered by the same materials and magic as the second area. Now we chase after the orcs.


As you merge towers, you gain levels. They can be used to upgrade various stats.


Here is very easy to obtain achievements in the game. Each one gives you some diamonds to upgrade with.


These are just a sample of the lower tier towers. Each purchase with scraps increases the cost.


Next, we have upgrades. These unlock as you progress through the story or as you buy certain upgrades.


Now once you upgrade the last vehicle, the last area opens up. Here once the keep is upgraded, you unlock a random dragon.

Each dragon gives different boosts based on the color. I still have to discover all the dragons.

Now we are brought to the "end game". This tavern is where souls gather. You upgrade everything in this tab to unlock the legendary tavern. I have not reached that far. The legendary tavern is supposed to mark the "end" of the game in some way.

Overall:

3 of 5 cogs.

The game is simple and easy to pick up. Anyone can easily play this game without paying anything for it. Plus it works offline.

Story:

3 of 5 cogs.

There Is a story. It starts fairly standard. A war against goblins, but then the story takes a turn. So far you reveal the next chapter by prestiging(resetting the world). You have to restart about 10 times to get the whole story.

Amount of ads:

Starting there are no ads. You can choose to watch videos for some bonuses. Sometimes the Phoenix gives you a button for video to get bonuses. You can also watch a video to spin a wheel.

Additionally, you can turn on banner ads to get bonus scrap production. This game has a very refreshing and unobtrusive way of handling ads.

Advertised as seen:
💯%

The game is straight forward with its advertising. You get exactly what is shown. No tricks.

Graphics:

 4 of 5 cogs.


The graphics are all 3d renders. I had no lag issues and the graphics remain smooth. The graphics are a bit cartoony, but this game is appropriate for all ages.

Audio:


3 of 5 cogs.


The sound effects are very repetitive and can be annoying after a while. The music feels very generic fantasy as well and does not stand out. They get a middle road review.

Gameplay:

4 of 5 cogs.

The gameplay is fairly fun but it does get repetitive very fast. It is easy to pick up and easy to forget about. The game does give currency while away. You can watch an ad to receive double currency.

Free play:
 ðŸ’¯ %

What else can I say? This game is free to play and you can get everything without paying for anything. I call this game a win all around.

Fun factor:
🙂 Average.

The game is fun but does start to get boring. I feel this is average for most merging games. Shark Jump has a couple of other merge games that appear to use this same engine. I may review them in the future as well.


Note: having trouble with picture alignment. I Will update you when I get to a PC.
