The game is fun to play in order to pass time, very time consuming, but it is NOTHING like the advertisement says. Yes, it is a merging game but NO you do not help a family in need (i.e. repairing the fireplace, windows, doors) as the advertisement shows. You collect items and coins for the game to automatically put buildings together for you. You merge items for "customers" to purchase - (sort of like those cooking games). It takes a LOT of those blue energies to level up.
Reviews for Seaside Escape®: Merge & Story
I love this game! One problem is I paid for a bonus then all of a sudden it is trying to make me pay again. I don't mind purchasing from time to time, but I would like it to deliver as promised. Second it is beginning to really drag out too much. Getting from the next moment to the next is getting too drawn out. Except for these glitches it would be a 5!
this game used to be fun and relaxing. Over time, it becomes way to difficult to advance without spending money. I have spent money to play longer, and that became an issue. Due to the fact I wouldn't be able to advance after a period of time, like initially. I quit spending and now I am taking baby step to complete orders....like days. I'll end up deleting soon
it's good enough. it's a fun enough merge game. i would say a fairly annoying downside, depending on the person, is how difficult it is to actually progress the story because of the requirements for building being so hyper specific. without tools, it doesn't matter how much money you have, so the game can stagnate.
I'm at level 555, and I can say that the game is addictive, which is frustrating. I've spent so much money playing this game until I really want to sue them. The reason that I've spent so much money is because the game is designed to show the lowest form of an item in the merge. It starts off like the merge items are randomly released, but I've noticed that the game purposely releases low-items. To complete a group is very frustrating when they do this. I really don't recommend anyone playing.
I don't know how this game has a 4.4 rating. the concept of the game is fun but it's just another false advertisement money trap. it's not the game advertised in all those ads you get on other games. I'll keep playing for another few days but I know it will become impossible. I can play for just a few minutes at a time before I have to wait for more "energy". LAME :( edit: uninstalling - storyline is uninteresting & the amount of energy needed to complete orders is way too hard for little reward
The game is an average merge game. I play several merge games by the same company and I treat them more as a time waster than to seriously progress. In game popups are annoying, and if you don't spend money, you'll never seriously go anywhere. It's ok as a time filler, but don't expect to be able to play beyond a few minutes before needing to spend. My biggest grievance is the lying deceptive ads for the game. If you see it advertised anywhere, the actual gameplay is NOTHING like the ads show.
Seaside Escape looks relaxing but is really a cash grab. You spend most of your time grinding the same match-3 puzzles with overpriced power-ups and sudden difficulty spikes. I bought an energy chest expecting 100–200 energy but got only 62, and customer service said that “can happen.” You can actually spend more and get less than the standard box. Add nonstop ads and weak rewards, and this game becomes frustrating instead of fun. It should be called "Just give me your money"
The game is just like Gossip Harbor You can play it for 20mins and run out of energy, then you have to wait 1 to 2hrs to gain full energy. I downloaded this game off a ad for it and in the ad it states how much it plays just like what you see is being played in the ad but in the end it's just like the rest, fake ads. I will say it's a bit faster to clear out the unopened spaces in the beginning of the game, and there's much more missions/houses to build.
Level 80. Game is fun & u can spend $ to help you but it's not necessary to still move along at an ok pace. My biggest issue is I cannot get help with a problem. There's a process to produce several things to produce the item you need. It's tedious. But it only produces 1 of the 2 items it's supposed to. This has me hung up for over a week & I can't complete an order, which in turn I can't complete a challenge. Contacted for help but keep getting generic response instead of a real person.
