I only have a few hours logged on this game on Steam, but have played an absurd amount of the mobile version (which plays great, but may kill your general sense of productivity). Merge Maestro looks deceptively simple - which I suppose is true in terms of what you do on a turn, basically place a token or combine 2 together - but has a surprising amount of depth and synergies between tokens to discover. The learning curve is well designed, with the game drip-feeding new mechanics and gradually increasing the difficulty in interesting ways (e.g., new types of enemies, giving existing enemies additional mechanics). There's also a ton of challenge modes that offer additional twists on the rules that can open up new strategies or force restrictions that make you have to come up with specific builds to counter them. Really excellent, especially for the cheap asking price.

Firstly - Most of my issues stem from the highest difficulty. Up until (much like another reviewer had stated) the 10 hour mark, the game flows great. However, the game gets more difficult the more you unlock. The final difficulty isn't "necessary" to beat to have a fun experience, but it's nearly impossible to beat unless you get a good / cheese strategy going. The issue is that the final boss in the hardest difficulty is relentless. It's very, very hard to counter and do 200+ damage per turn - and in some cases, have to do 200+ damage 3 (even up to 5) times per turn - without having lucked out on your tokens. It's a great, super fun game. It's not too hard to get really into. The token pool expands greatly the more you play, which makes it harder to find what works well together in any given run. You also only get the selection of 1 out of 5 packs, which is fine in most cases. However, it becomes apparent there's some balance issues, and have 4 of the 5 with very few damaging tokens that can appear (especially at the lower 1-4 numbers). A lot of the early game tokens you want (do 3 damage - do 1 damage 3 times - create a level 1 token when using this level 2 token - create a level 1 token at the end of each wave - etc...) are only really in 2 or 3 packs, and they're not automatically guaranteed. Even if you get 1 or 2 of those, you still aren't guaranteed to ever even see these tokens. That makes the game extremely different each time you play it though, so it's a bit difficult to be really harsh with it. There's a lot of obvious "exploits" you can do that are quite fun to discover. I accidentally kept making my tokens in the queue go to a level 4 or 5 infinitely in one run. It actually made it WORSE for me, but it was hilarious. There's issues though, especially in certain tokens that are near impossible to find combinations with. Having something that creates consumables only after being destroyed is an example. They're very difficult to play around, as well as triggering their destroyed effect. The same goes for exhausted tokens. Having a level 7 token become exhausted because it accidentally got the last hit on the final enemy of a stage is infuriating, and in MOST cases, you cannot wake it back up. I highly recommend people who play this game to take it slower than I have. I play most games like this rather mindlessly and luck through winning a lot of the time. At higher difficulties, you need a legit strategy and idea on what to do. The game allows you to see what enemies you will be facing and that's something I knew about from the start, but never used it. I am going to come back to the game and play it slower, as I think that's the only true way to win consistently. I may sound like I complained a lot but it's frustrating due to how CLOSE it is to being a top game of mine. Even if the tokens are simple and goofy looking, they have a certain charm. The music isn't the greatest but it's serviceable. The variety of abilities is curious. I haven't seen all level 9 tokens still. There's tons of other combos I guarantee I've missed out on due to not realizing you could do them! It's a great game to tinker with. You can learn something new each time you play. Overall, I give it an easy recommend if you like the genre. There's far more positives than negatives. It's WELL worth the price, even if most people would only probably only want to play 10~ hours, or would prefer playing at lower difficulties.

Good fun for about 10 hours, but the higher difficulties get a little too reliant on RNG for my taste.

Simply put the most underrated roguelike deckbuilder on Steam. The game features a variety of depth and a plethora of mechanics but all are drip-fed to you so it never feels overwhelming. Difficulty is gradual and each one offers a fair challenge. Challenge runs offer interesting rules and restrictions and open up strategies not possible in the standard mode. The free demo offers a good 1-2 hours of content and the full game is well worth its $4 price tag.

This game is ruthlessly delightful. Its mechanics are simple and it adds them at a great pace. The difficulty levels are very satisfying, and, as someone currently spending a good hour every night bonking my head on existential, it is shocking value for its price point. 9.8/10 (have to leave room in case the devs make a rabbit expansion)
