## What is Brave Merge?

►  IT’S A MONSTER EMERGENCY

The armies of the undead have invaded your kingdom, and it’s down to you to win back your lands village by village. Hire warriors and head into to battle with the zombie hordes to rid your realm of the undead scourge. Turn your army of simple peasant soldiers into an elite squad of mighty knights by merging them, unlock all sorts of village buildings to earn passive income as you progress through the game, and invest your gains back into defense of your realm in this colorful and entertaining adventure game that combines time management with strategy and combat.

►  ARE YOU READY FOR BATTLE?

◾What heroes are made of: To beat the zombies in battle, you’ll need to level up fast. Hire new troops and merge them with other warriors of the same level to increase their combat effectiveness.

◾Turn plowshares to swords: Your warriors start off having only simple clubs to bludgeon the zombies with, but as you level them up they get battle axes, armor, longswords and more, turning them into real knights and slashing the time it takes to deal with the undead.

◾Climb the tower: Liberate towers, and you’ll discover your warriors are just as useful with bows as they are with swords, dealing ranged attacks on zombies all around them.

◾What is that thing? If you think swarms of skeletal zombies are the worst you’ll have to fight in this game, wait until you see their leaders – each village you come to also has a fearsome monster boss you’ll have to do battle with before you can move on. Make sure you’ve got plenty of high-level warriors to face them.

►  IT’S ALL ABOUT RESOURCES

◾Getting back to work: As you clear areas of the undead, the village will be able to start functioning again, and it’s you that gets the income from the buildings you rescue, including taverns, forges, sawmills and temples.

◾Coining it: Buildings will add to the coins you earn from beating zombies in battle. Be sure to collect your earnings regularly to maximize the amount you can invest in your army – hiring new knights gets expensive fast.

◾Joys of automation: Make your industries even more efficient by automating revenue collection so that you can enjoy truly passive income while devoting your energies and attention to defense of your kingdom and defeating the undead in battle.

◾If I had a hammer… The game has a second currency that can also be won in combat and earned from chests. In conjunction with collectible building cards, hammers allow you to upgrade buildings and further increase your earnings.

►  PUT THEM TO THE SWORD

Looking for a fun casual adventure game that combines easily mastered gameplay with tactical challenges and time-management strategizing? Grab your sword, build an army of fearsome knights, and devote yourself to defense of the realm. Download Brave Merge now and get ready for adventure.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-04-01, version 1.6.16*

Is good

### 2/5 — They ruined it.

*2026-01-03, version 1.6.14*

Had a great time playing this game, but now the gameplay screen has too much ads and they actually interfere with the smooth gameplay. I have uninstalled it because of the overlay ad they added a bit ago.

### 1/5 — Forced ads

*2025-06-16, version 1.6.7*

Another five star game ruined by forced ads.  Have ads be optional but don’t ever have them forced.  And what’s the point? I can just close the game, reopen and be right back to where I was… it’s just stupid.  I don’t mind spending on games like this but once there’s any forced ads, you lose my business.  Having an option to pay to remove the optional ads is fine, but it’s not worth the price they’re charging just to get rid of forced ads, something that shouldn’t be there in the first place.

### 5/5 — The Best Game Ever

*2025-04-26, version 1.6.4*

The best game ever made.

### 1/5 — Forced ads, forced uninstall.

*2024-08-21, version 1.5.2*

Forced ads is a deal breaker

### 3/5 — Forced ads :(

*2024-07-29, version 1.5.2*

Gameplay itself is pretty fun. I really enjoy it. I play a LOT of mobile games, and normally end up making purchases to support the devs, however if a game has forced ads I have to delete it. Absolutely cannot stand forced ads. I along with many others are happy to have the choice to watch ads to help progress faster or obtain bonuses.

### 3/5 — Ads

*2024-05-19, version 1.5.2*

I love me some ad rewards, but ads just for playing so many minutes or because you pick up resources are dumb. This is a fun game and keep on reopening it, but the ads make me close it not long after.

### 1/5 — Mandatory ads

*2024-05-06, version 1.5.2*

Mandatory ads popping ! Game to avoid

### 1/5 — Impossible to play higher levels without paid upgrades

*2024-03-25, version 1.5.2*

Once you get to a certain point, the game is impossible to play without paid upgrades. Eliminating the max level on cards and bringing back some of the old features might help this. It is really frustrating. I’ve also never gotten a response from support. There are multiple bugs it in the game.

### 1/5 — Too much add

*2024-03-25, version 1.5.2*

Enjoyed the game until I realized that whenever I want to do something I have an add to watch, super annoying.
