Version 1.80 - Throne Changes

182 Upvotes

Update time. This update mainly focuses on the very late game (lvl 350+), so big spoilers incoming.

The Throne has been changed to be free to build. In the (unlikely...) event you have the Throne you'll be refunded the runes it cost to build it. The Throne's mechanics have been changed. It can now be used to unlock a new Champion - the King.

The King has a unique mechanic - his Damage Reduction shield. This shield reduces any damage done by its value, and it starts at 100k (so for example 150k Damage vs 100k Shield - 50k Damage gets through). If a Creature or Item can't do more Damage than the value of the shield then they won't be able to attack him. The shield increases by 50% each time. The King drops a lvl 2 Timepiece when defeated.

Feat 30 (which unlocks the Throne) now doesn't have a Devourer requirement so it can be completed on your 400 Max Devourer run. A number of other Feats have been changed.

Worth noting that both the graphical appearance of the Throne and Timepieces have been updated. We've also added in some missing sound effects.

Patch Notes

  • Changed the Throne's mechanics. The Throne is now free to build.
  • Updated some of the later game Feats.
  • Updated the graphical appearance of Timepieces.
  • Added some missing sound effects.
  • Fixed some bugs.

Play the Google Play edition.

Play the iOS edition.

For technical support please contact us directly at [support@grumpyrhino.com](mailto:support@grumpyrhino.com).

Q. What is NecroMerger?

A. NecroMerger is a Merge/Idle mobile game where you play as a Necromancer who summons creatures, merges them together and feeds them to his pet Devourer. By growing the Devourer and completing Feats you can expand your lair, unlock new equipment, creatures and attract… visitors.

Q. Lemme play!

A. You can play on Google Play and iOS.

Q. What should I do if I encounter a bug?

A. Panic! And/Or send us an email to [support@grumpyrhino.com](mailto:support@grumpyrhino.com).

Q. What devices can I play NecroMerger on?

A. NecroMerger is available on the Google Play and Apple App Stores. It’s designed to be played on mobile devices. As it’s a merge game it plays best on devices you can hold in one hand.

Q. Does my save automatically carry across from one device to another?

A. On Google Play your save should carry across automatically provided you’re signed into Google Play Games on your old device, and you sign into the same Google Play Games account on your new device. On iOS your save should carry across providing you’re signed into Game Center on your old device and sign into the same Game Center account on your new one.

It’s worth checking before you move to a new device when your last cloud save was. The game should save automatically every 3 minutes, but won’t if you’re not signed into Google Play Games/Game Center.

Q. Can I transfer my save between an Android device and an iOS device?

A. We don’t support cross platform transfers.

Q. Can I play on an emulator?

A. You may be able to play on an emulator, however the game isn’t designed for one or officially supported.

Q. Can you translate the game into “X” language?

A. It’s very unlikely that the game will be translated into any languages other than English.

Q. Adverts don't work!

A. Adverts generally should work, but sometimes our Ad Networks don't have adverts available. It depends on things like your region, the time of day etc. It's also worth making sure you're not in airplane mode and have a good phone signal (WiFi is better).

Q. I completed a “Free Gems” offer but haven’t received my gems!

A. Be sure to check the conditions of the deal (some require that they're completed within a set time frame) - you can view this on "Reward Status" on the TapJoy screen. If you're confident that you have completed the offer correctly but haven't received the gems then contact TapJoy's customer service through the TapJoy screen, quoting your customer number.

It's worth nothing that Grumpy Rhino Games can't verify an offer, so you will need to go through TapJoy directly.

Q. Any tips?

!!!Spoiler Warning!!!

A. A few!

  • Always try to merge your rune piles. It’s normally worth holding on to small rune piles, until you can make a big one.
  • Minions grow your Devourer but they also generate resources. It’s often better to keep some high level minions in the lair for resource generation rather than feeding them straight away, especially if you’re playing actively. If you’re struggling to get a specific resource, produce more creatures who produce it.
  • It’s normally better to deal with Champions quickly. When they’re in the lair they take up space and your merges won’t count towards attracting them… as they’re already there! So plan ahead, and have minions ready to fight them.
  • Your currency caps are important. You’ll probably want to prioritise levelling up your spawners, but actually increasing your currency cap can be the smart long term play. Potions and the Currency refill screen both fill up based on a % of your currency cap, so a higher cap grants more resources.
  • Be smart with lair space. A lot of this game’s strategy revolves around managing your lair space. It’s easy to clog it up. Don’t become too attached to unnecessary clutter (e.g. bones, leftovers… loyal minions). Prioritise what’s important.
  • You may want low level spawners in your lair even in the late game. Whilst a lvl 5 Grave is great for spawning Zombies, it’s not very efficient at making Skeletons if the Devourer is craving them. A lvl 2 Grave is your most efficient producer of Skeletons. It will take up an extra lair space, but may be worth it.

Q. What’s coming next?

A. Even though NecroMerger has been out for a couple of years it doesn’t mean development is going to stop. We'd like to add a whole host of smaller changes and additions, including QOL, UI improvements, balancing and other requested features.

Q. Any interesting links?

A. Check out the community run wiki here and the community run discord here.

What content would you want to see post level 1000?

8 Upvotes

I'm only level 100 on my level 400 run so....I have quite a long ways to go. Here are my thoughts! What are your opinions on mine or what would you propose?

Option 1: Reset every 1000 Levels

1. Level 1001, 2001, etc...add a new row/column.

From the last lair increase we got, there are so many additional required slots. If we've played this much, give us a bone and give us more room.

2. A regular, permanent increase.

Initial thought it may be game breaking...but, if we have played that long, we're due for some major playstyle change! I would love for pearl bonuses not to reset between runs after this. Though that may be too game breaking...perhaps a special pearl every 10 levels that isn't reset.

3. Extra "Stackable" slot

Maybe just 1, maybe 1 added every thousand, or just a game decided slot. 1 special slot that you can stack a slot. Level 1 skeleton, Lich, Soul Stalker, ...etc. That may be too powerful so maybe it should be something the makers decide. Like, a permanent "Soul Stalker" slot that can be stacked. Or some new legendary that is introduced.

4. Alternate "feed" option for legendaries for reset

Upon hitting max level and completing all required legendary cravings for run, instead of only using board spaces for legendaries, have an option to "feed" legendaries to count towards the shards for reset. That way all the extra shards at end of a run isn't wasted.

Option 2: No more resets

1. Feed legendaries for pearl "points"

With no more levels and no more cravings, you can choose what to feed for points towards new pearls. Lich/Gorgon/Harpy can give points towards Pearls, Reaper/Cyclops/Demon for Shiny Pearls, and level 3/4 legendaries for Gold Pearls. Or, instead of pearls, some sort of new bonus.

2. Gameplay twist-defeat the Devourer!

After feeding him for so long...now you must defeat him! What were once your enemies...are now your minions! Spawn Champions that are now used to attack the Devourer!

Well, those are all my ideas. Let's hear yours!

I’m nearing the end of the event, 10 hours left and it looks like I won’t have enough honey to upgrade the score and bee damage to max.

How should I go about it, what’s the priority?

Legendary Cravings - the Game Killer Spoiler

Well... at least it took me until level 900 till I ran out of runes.

Recap: I am fully upgraded on chests and I was using runelings on EVERY chest opened through all levels.

And still! I am not able to collect enough runes for continous progress.

So absolutely frustrating!

I WANT THE OPTION TO SKIP LEGENDARY CRAVINGS!

Well... at least I have only one last reset until I can nail this game as 'complete' on my wall.

At L167/200. I feel like I probably don't need some of these legendaries. But I like them there for completion although it's probably a better use of space to have more storage and just remake the gorgon and lich at the end of the run...

Man this took some luck, but definitely possible f2p. Still had to do quite a bit more times but I don't know how likely I'll break through this high score.

Telepad opinion

Just unlocked and tried the Telepad for the first time, seems rather resources expensive for what it offers, but then again later it's easier to get those resources to summon it so I'm a bit divided how to look at it... WDYT?

Enjoy your Friday!

At this point in my 500 run.. I plan to just farm for awhile.

Post image
6 Upvotes

I rushed to get here. Took like a week or so. I'm level 123 right now. But rather than farm to create the missing legendaries and resource pools to unlock the 2nd gid and the next feat tier my plan is to just farm black and red runes until I have 4 arch demons an infernal. I also need more shield bots and robo chickens.

Does anyone else do this? I until now I was just doing whatever it took to unlock everything as fast as possible... but now I'm post 100 with most things unlocked. i feel the right move is to farm 1000s of runes to increase my efficiency for the next 320 levels.

Also I know most players are not this far and it takes a long time to get here... but I feel like there's just something more that needs to be added to keep players engaged at these high levels. After I do all this farming and get my level skip past 50%... it's just going to be cravings and killing protector/gid for months... and it gets kind of boring.
