Squad Assembler: Merge puts you in charge of building a combat squad from individual parts, merging equipment to raise its power, and sending your fighters into battle against increasingly tough enemies and bosses. The game blends idle mechanics with merge strategy, a character editor, and action-adventure combat into one loop. The very first hero available is Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, signaling the action-franchise energy that runs through the roster.
Several scenes show coiled metal wire fences supported by wooden posts running along dirt edges. In one scene, a large golden chest with purple padding and a keyhole rests on a paved grey path.
The core objective is straightforward: defeat the enemy squad to win each level. Progress comes from opening loot boxes to collect fighter parts, combining identical items to raise their level, and equipping your squad before sending them into battle. Bosses are particularly tough and demand a well-developed squad to overcome. Heroes are also available to assist in difficult fights. Treasure chests and enemy outposts are additional targets to pursue as you advance through levels, with the current level count displayed in the UI.

Yes, bosses are very tough and require a strong, well-upgraded squad to defeat. Heroes are available to help during these difficult encounters.
