MergeCaster entered Early Access on September 9, 2026, at 12:00 AM JST.
MergeCaster is a game built around a puzzle system called "Cross Merge Puzzle."
In Cross Merge Puzzle, players merge the elemental panels in the four cardinal directions from an empty grid at the center of the puzzle board.
The merged elemental panels are consumed as resources to activate skills at the end of the player's turn.
Skills are essential for defeating waves of enemies.
After clearing a wave, the player visits a shop, where they can acquire new skills.
Players make choices through both the puzzle and deckbuilding systems, with the goal of surviving all waves of enemies.
