Save Room - The Merchant

This game takes the classic Tetris formula and gives it a fantasy twist, you're cramming jewels and weapons into a grid like bag to progress through stages. It’s a clever concept, and the core puzzle mechanics are satisfyingly simple, until the powders and upgrades show up to stir the cauldron of frustration. Upgrades? Just max them out. Seriously. Trying to fine tune your weapon enhancements, like choosing between firepower or something else, is more trouble than it’s worth. As for powders, they’re a recipe for chaos. Mix the wrong ammo, overstock your inventory, or accidentally use the right powder for the wrong purpose, and boom, you’re restarting the level. Again. Most puzzles are breezy, but the self-destruct sequence on level 40? That one nearly had me tossing my controller into the void. It’s a quick, quirky experience overall, but not without its hiccups. Verdict A fun concept with fussy mechanics. Worth a whirl, but don’t expect a masterpiece.

At first, I wasn't sure why this game had so many negative reviews because the first game is actually really good. But after playing it, I now know why. The game is very tedious, the merchant only serves to force you to fill in the inventory screen twice; once for treasures, and again for the actual items you need. It's extremely buggy, buying items in bulk causes the game to give you more money than the actual value is which normally would be a good thing if it weren't for the achievement for going broke. I'm not sure if this next thing is a bug or the game just isn't being clear but whenever I buy a treasure so I can complete a set so I can make progress for another achievement for selling all types of treasures, for whatever reason I can't sell it which means the level is impossible. This makes the level impossible to complete since it won't let you progress until you fit every item into the screen, which there won't be enough because of the unsellable treasure. And one more thing I can't stand. I'm sorry to the voice actor for the merchant but... your VA is horrible. I can tell you are quiet shouting the lines which is extremely annoying. And for some reason there's no way to turn off the dialog. Get the first game, not this one.
