    Clash Royale is an accessible strategy game with quick online duels that is worth picking up, but is a bit simple with a grinding free to play system over the long term.

    This game I loved at first,till I hit the massive slap in the face that woke me up.

    First lets get this out of the way,this game is    This game I loved at first,till I hit the massive slap in the face that woke me up.

    First lets get this out of the way,this game is pay-to-win,if you buy gems,like clash of clans,you can zoom to get maxed out.

    Here are the positive things
    -It creates a RTS style game with cards,which I honestly haven't seen at all,although i'm sure some other game has done it
    -The beginning is amazing!Its just nice and well presented
    You can have friendly battles with your clan-mates,you essentially just play them without any risk,clash of clans NEEDS a system like this.
    -The progression is done well.Leveling up definitely feels rewarding.
    -Graphics are relatively nice for a mobile game
    Negatives
    -Matchmaking is outright broken,for all intents and purposes,it is the clash of clans search finder,however in clash you can choose who you can battle,you can't here.Which means you get played against people that have FAR better cards then you do.
    -Game is completely unbalanced with a lot of cards,if you don't have these specific cards you will simply lose when you face against someone who does,such as the skeleton army,which can wipe out 3-4 cards with little effort
    -Game is pay to win,I already mentioned this so I won't go into detail
    -You essentially can only play a worthwhile battle every 3 hours,maybe more,since chests take a long time to open
    -There is no way to discard unwanted chests,lets say you only want to open gold chests,not silver ones.To bad,you can't get rid of the silver chests.
    -Map are small,you get 8 maps,all are the same just re-textured,a river in the middle,with two bridges and the two players on both sides.That's all you get when you battle,make a variety with maps,to allow for different strategies!
    -The card count is limited,it may seem extensive at first,but card game hearthstone has over 400 cards,Royale has 49,49!.

    This game is really a four out of ten,but the fact that you can pay money and immediately become max level,along with they shove buying gems in your face with the chest timers just make me have to take off a point.Free-To-Play model problems    … Full Review »

    I don't normally expect much from mobile games. However, this game is one of the most overrated game I have ever encountered. First, it isI don't normally expect much from mobile games. However, this game is one of the most overrated game I have ever encountered. First, it is extremely repetitive, with little variation to keep it interesting. Certain cards are too strong and too easily obtainable, which created a balance issue. Another issue is the positively absurd chest opening timers. 8 hours for one measly gold chest. This pay to win formula will not work this time.… Full Review »

    I have never seen such a money trap game before, including other Supercell games. Boss needs more bugs perhaps?? In this game you have toI have never seen such a money trap game before, including other Supercell games. Boss needs more bugs perhaps?? In this game you have to increase your cards' level and you need epic cards to win the match. But without buying chests you will be very low profile player. Ridiculously unbalanced money trap game...… Full Review »
