Colourful chaos awaits in our 2016 iPhone Game of the Year. Supercell’s awesome card battler delivers excellent deck-building mechanics and fast-paced fights in a package that’s easy to understand and undeniably fun. Upgrading, unlocking and experimenting with cards gives the game endless replayability, and deciding just where to drop your heroes makes each battle distinct. But no matter how good your deck is, there’s no substitute for skill and quick thinking.
It is one of the best mobile games you can get on your phone, sure. In-game is balanced, lot of various kinds of deck you can made and play with. Matchmaking is superfast, all the time. Only thing that can be changed is Clan managing. Its kinda hard to check who is Active And who is not. Since the players are being kicked and new players are coming, there is no chance for you to remember 50 names. There should be some better And more efficient activity checker, maybe like it is done in Shake And Fidget. Or some way how to easily See if player from your clan is part of clan war or not. As a clan leader I would be so much happy If you can make something like this. Anyway I can leave 5 stars because the game is AWESOME!
If you are not active or a returning player who is in higher arena, I don’t think it’s worth even starting playing / returning. Lower arenas will probably be fun from beginning but then it’ll start going downhill. And when you start doing too good, the game will put you in the match with someone, who somehow is countering you perfectly or has much higher levels, the only good thing is when you unlock a new arena, you can’t drop out of it (if you hit the bottom of the arena, you’ll be losing 0 trophies). As others said evolutions are such a disaster, especially Firecracker and taken to the fact that the evolutions are even in competitive play. Also it’s almost impossible to be F2P anymore, yeah you can still win but your odds are much lower than with you spending money to have overpowered cards. As many people said support of this game is horrible, only bots respond and the only time a live person will respond is when you threaten them with refunds, stopping paying for their in game products or issues with payments, otherwise they don’t care. If you would show someone the current state of the game to someone in 2018 they would probably laugh and think it’s just a bad joke. It’s a shame that this game went downhill.
I grew up on supercell games. Maliny clash of clans. When clash royale first came out, i was exited to try something new and fresh from the clash universe. I was preety young, so the understanding of all the game mechanics preety much just flew over my head. Like 2 weeks ago, i decided to reinstall it and give it a try after few years. And oh boy was i dissapointed. After understanding the game’s mechanics, its a preety fun and simple game.I was able to climb out of arenas in half a day, if i wanted to. After a while tho, i noticed a huuuuge unbalance within matchmaking. I am around 5500 trophies, and boy, i hate the game already. The amount of players just spamming evolved mega knights and champions is insane. The pay to win aspect of this game is just crazy. I play against people with king towers 2 levels or even 3 levels ahead of me. And dont get me started on the card level differences. Its just laughable how easy it is to win, when you have the money to. So if anybody is trying to get to the game as a new player, that never played the game, just don’t. Save yourself the frustration.
I have 9869 trophies and big problem with this game is that it’s P2W. Almost every match I get people who have cards even two levels higher than mine. I don’t know how that’s possible, but when I reached Legendary Arena I suddenly couldn’t win at all. Then I bought a cheap emote for like $3 and suddenly I got 12 wins in a row. I turned the game off for a while, and when I opened it again two hours later, I started losing nonstop again.I also noticed that when you’re playing against someone who has spent money on the game and has Pass Royale, your “Wi-Fi starts acting up.” I played 4 matches at home on my PC through Ethernet, and against the two players with Pass Royale the game froze for about ten seconds, but against the other two players without Pass Royale it didn’t lag at all.This game is destroying itself very quickly, almost impossible to play without spending money. Gracias Supercell for destroying the game I’ve been playing for 8 years. :)
Since the last update, the game goes to the trash. The game was bad for a while but this update sealed it. It was already difficult for new and returning players to learn the mechanics of the game. With the addition of heroes, it becomes even more difficult. I don't see why not to continue with what the game worked well with. Add new EVOs and occasionally add new cards or remake existing ones. Level 16 is also a terrible addition, the game will become pay to win, even though it became that a long time ago. And when you learn the mechanics of the game, level up your cards and get heroes that are terribly hard to get, you will find that matchmaking is terrible. For example, my deck is bad against swarm decks, and I see swarm decks a lot more than other decks. I can't even count the number of times I've been close to a new arena and then run into swarm decks five or more times in a row. Until they improve the game, I don't recommend downloading it.
The core of the game is good. Maybe even better than good, is great. Idea of collecting unit, making deck, developing strategy etc. and all of that is good. Bad thing is that at certain moment match is already decided during matchmaking. I just keep getting opponents that are using units which are 2 to 4 lvl higher (on average). Then you can have the best strategy ever but you will still lose. It happened already at low level arena so 90% of units are still locked for me so I can’t counter with deck type. And every approx 5th match I get opponent that has significantly weaker units so I absolutely steamroll them. And them again 4 matches that are lost beforehand. So I ended up stuck with no chance to progress or experiment with units (cuz they are still locked). I see it as missed opportunity, could be great but getting decimated because of unit lvl diff is getting boring fast
This game uses the shadiest skinner-box tactics that will get you HOOKED in no time! While that alone sounds horrible, a side effect of it is that there is no waiting time for finding an opponent because there are always so many other addicts playing that the matchmaking process is instant. Despite the annoying skinner box, the game is very good in all other aspects, be it balance, regular updates, gameplay mechanics, etc. Definitely not pay to win, you can get unlock for free (though it would take forever). Probably the best mobile game I've seen so far.
I like clash royale, but im not going to raise the stars until they repair the connection problem.Once your signal drops one bar, itll start spamming the weak connection signal, and eventho your signal gets better, the game is still spamming you with the signal and usualy just drops you out completely after a minute or so. Doesnt matter your signal gets better, the game just lags and doesnt let you play. A good game would rejoin you even if your connection crashed, clash royale is making your game crash even if the connection is okay. Regardles this bug, clash royale became so pay to win, that for people who dont want to pay it is unplayable.-unfair matchmaking- people with 3lvls higher deck play against you-you usualy get hard countered if you get to a milestone-many people noticed that-if you win too many games in a row, you just get an insane oponent against you, hard counter to your deck-lvl 16 cards and towers, 2heros, 2evos-if you buy something- the next few games are easier for you, weaker opponents, easier matchups,.. so you feel your purchase was worth it.-also everything is getting worse rewardwise- luckyboxes are worse, rewards from pass, or the ones we got for elitewild cards,...-5 star lucky boxes-bruh, i received a book of rares from my first one ever a long time before, i recieved 2more 5stars till then, the first was 50hunter cards and the second one was uglya*s banner (very simmilar banner was given for free around that time) im almost maxed lvl 15btw-there is probably no way youll be able to max any of the heroes and more then a few legendaries in 3years of playing, if youre free to playSo unless you dont wanna pay, dont even start, it will be getting only worse and worse, the drops already dropped for like 40% in value while the price raised
The game itself is a great idea, it was so fun, I enjoyed playing it every single day, but now, when I’m on a higher level, people are starting to use the same deck that has Evo Mega Knight, Sparky, Mighty Miner, and Evo Hunter, which basically stops my whole push. I’m trying to create a deck which wouldn’t be gay, and counter their push, but it’s basically impossible. Not to even mention the matchmaking, because I raised trophies a lot, and I played so few matches, I get matched up with people who have 2 levels higher upgraded tower over me. So, if you want to download a game full of gay people, go ahead y’all.
Last update in which chests are removed is very bad in my opinion, i loved opening cheste etc… Now i can open 3 drops and gain less items, it feels like the game lost something i loved about it, same as BS, i hate stardrops…. The update with golden chest and higher was much more better and i dont even know why did they remove event shop.. How am i supposed to get something like evolution shard without it? In passroyal? 1 shard per season? u mean i have to pay to get something to keep up with players in my league? This game was always pay2win, but it is getting worse and worse… Now i cannot even enjoy playing it. Before last update i would rate it 4,5-5…. But now 2 is enough…
