Merge Archer Defense mainly revolves around protecting your base, your defense line from waves of enemies by arranging, upgrading & merging archers.
“Merge” Mechanism: You will have many individual archer units placed in fixed positions. When two identical archers are placed next to each other or according to a given rule, you can merge them to create a higher level, stronger (with better damage, fire rate). The higher the merge = the stronger the unit, helping you deal with stronger attacks.
Defense and Archery: Enemies will advance from the road or many directions towards the base or central position that you need to protect. Your archers automatically shoot at a fixed distance / range, destroying enemies when they come into range. You need to optimize the archer placement and merge timing to ensure effective defense.
Upgrade and manage resources: When you destroy enemies, you receive money, resources to upgrade units, open new positions, buy more low-level archers to merge. There may be a skill board or a special archer upgrade system (fire speed, damage, range, special abilities ...).
Difficulty & progression: The game progresses through enemy "waves": each wave will be stronger, more numerous, and have a variety of enemy types. When you merge stronger units & arrange them wisely, you can overcome higher waves. If the enemy breaks through your defense to the center point (or base), you lose.
A combination of the merge genre (light puzzle game) and tower defense (defense): both tactical and addictive.
The merge mechanism gives players the motivation to arrange and optimize space and units.
The auto-shooting gameplay is suitable for the “tap and wait” style of play, but still requires thinking when merging and placing positions properly.
The speed of the match can be adjusted (fast or slow) depending on the design, giving players better control.
