Games Like Merge Coin: Mai

While visiting a grave, Mai is suddenly attacked by monsters emerging from a rift.  Defend your town using coins and gravestones against the monster onslaught!

This game is a turn-based puzzle strategy with a simple look but deep and demanding strategic gameplay. It is strongly influenced by the Broughlike lineage of games pioneered by Michael Brough, and in particular by his works Imbroglio, P1 Select, and 868-HACK. It was also inspired by Levels 2 (flow.inc) and Seven Scrolls (Venbrux). In this game, you defeat enemies emerging from dimensional rifts using coins and gravestones, merge dropped coins to strengthen them, or offer them to altars to create barriers and empower gravestones — all in pursuit of higher scores by defeating even stronger enemies.

This one features a persistent 9×10 board that remains unchanged from start to finish. As a result, not only powerful coins, but also unnecessary objects left behind early on will continue to occupy space until the end. To reach the ending, planning your board layout strategically becomes a key aspect of gameplay.

It also features both local and global leaderboards, aiming for a pure, score-driven experience with a tough and uncompromising design that rewards thoughtful play and perseverance.
