    This is an excellent, well polished, competitive game. You can pay or you can be free to play (like me), but the developers show that they care for both kinds of players. Sure, you will lose, because others have to win sometimes. People who pay will have easier access to the most rare cards, but F2P can get them too eventually, and they are not necessarily better.

You can see that 8 of the top 10 players at the time I write this are not using any of the rarest (legendary) cards.
    It is very competitive, and in matches you will be paired against people who has scored a similar number of victory points (trophies) as you, regardless of card level and strength. Some think that it is not fair, but it is in fact the fairest pairing method.
    It is interesting how many hate reviews are there in the users side, and that may be because the game is very intense and causes adrenaline rushes and strong emotions. Give it a try and try not to get addicted. I have been playing this for 6 months and it's been great :-)

    Highly recommended to play, this proposal Supercell is really addictive and recommended, with a simpler mechanics for the casual player and the addition of several good characters. Perhaps many fans of the series may not like, but I charm. Of course it is not a 10, but we must try to match as many unnecessary negative comments.

    Best game ever! Highly addictive and fun, battle with your friends too. Gets frustrating at times, but all good games do! New cards are constantly being added in, so it never gets old. Also good social glue. 10/10 everyone must play.

    I've been playing Clash Royale for three years now. Some may critic the lack of progression, but this is non sense. The game is the same don't matter how much you progress. Hard duels, intelligent gameplay and strategic thinking about your cards. Play it right now if you haven't.

    This games doesn't waste your time and doesn't force you to check it each time
    the best thing about the game is that both gamers should be online for starting the match
    this game isn't great but I suggest it to everyone who likes this genre

    Clash Royale is a great strategy based game that has great mechanics and smooth gameplay it is free on the app market and extremely well made
    You start with your deck of 8 cards which compared to games like magic that use 60 cards might seem like you wouldn't have enough cards to do much but it actually works really well you will soon find yourself playing this game as much As you can. You open the game and start with battling the first trainer as you place your troops down they charge across the battlefield towards the enemies towers, the trainer places their own cards and the strategy begins. You begin to figure out how to counter the enemy troops and edit your deck. You figure out what troops work well together. Whe way the troops work is you have a ten elixir which is always regenerating every troop is worth a certain amount of elixir when you place that troop th takes it away from the elixir that is saved up so this way it isn't just spamming troops.
    Every win you receive a chest which has new cards and coins. The chests all take a certain amount of time to unlock for example, if you get a silver chest it takes 3 hours to unlock so you would generally unlock one during the day where as a gold chest takes 8 hours to you would probably want to unlock it over night. As your deck grows you can upgrade the cards you already have with the coins you receive and integrate the new cards into your deck.
    The ranking system is based on wins. Every win you will receive a certain amount of trophies, the more trophies you get new arenas are unlocked and new cards can be discovered. Real money can be spent on this game to buy more coins or chests that are super rare. When you get a certain amount of trophies you can make or join a clan. If your friends are in the same clan you can friendly battle each other. When you friendly battle you don't lose or gain trophies but you can prove yourself the best among your friends.
    Overall this game is very well made and is super addicting. It's really easy to learn and figure out the game never gets boring because you are always battling new people and getting new cards. Once you find that deck that works well for you there is no stopping you!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very well made game. People complain about having to pay-to-win. However, that is just because they don't think that they are able to reach the top without winning. I am one of the top people and I haven't spent a penny. You just need to learn how to play the game. The balancing was very well done in my opinion and they are constantly updating the game to balance it even more. The gameplay is fun and almost never gets old. You can donate cards to friends and battle them which is always a blast. The only thing that can make this game better is if Supercell figures out a way to have clan wars. Expand

    Great game, it is sometimes good to have a challenge and it is very simple and straight forward. And no card is too "OP" (e.g. Prince, which can be countered by Barbs or Skeleton Army). However, the only thing that prevents a 10 is Chest Opening times and Gems being needed for quite a lot of stuff.

    -The game is mainly based on luck, luck of cards, luck on your matches (who you are facing) My friend started a week after me and has the same level cards if not better.

    -Some games I found my self against someone with 2 level higher cards.

    -Also, some cards need to be nerfed very badly. These cards can easily destroy your towers and ca make you want to rip your hair out when you have to face them. (Witch,Balloon,Princes)

    -Also I do find that opening chests take annoyingly long to open.

    Positives:

    -Being able to face your clan mates is fun and you truly test who is the best in your clan.

    -The level up or tower gets stronger is a point a like about the game. (if you reach level 3 then your tower becomes a level 3 tower that can take more damage and deal out more)

    -It has great strategy on that you have to out do your challenger while you both have the same elixer points.

    i feel that Clash Royale is an amazing game that you should play!

    Was totally addicted to this game, but when I reached royal arena (pretty far away from the start) it's become too boring and too punishing for me. I get too many ties and too many loses and I don't know why. But I can't say this game isn't good, I even think it's really a masterpiece, but you have to pay money to feel good at higher arenas.

    Un genial juego de estrategia basado en el mundo de Clash of Clans. Es muy divertido pero hay jugadores que se bajan de copas y hace imposible la subida. Y además el nivel de cartas determina casí más que la estrategia el destino de la partida. Le pongo un 78/100

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well made game. Clash Royale is a card based game with the sole objective on either have more towers destroyed than your opponent(s) when the time runs out, or destroy your opponent(s) King Tower. Clash Royale has two different battle types: 1v1 and 2v2. Alongside these, different game modes occur in event fashion (come into the game, then leave shortly after) such as “2v2 Draft Challenge” where you, your teammate, and two opponents concurrently build decks for that individual game by four rounds of picking 1 of 2 cards you’re randomly presented with. The cards you don’t select will go to an opponent. Game modes like this is what keeps the game lively and new alongside Supercell’s (developers) constant updates including new cards, new arenas, etc.

    Why does this game deserve such a high score? From reading the negative reviews as well as hearing the opinions of my colleagues, I get the gist of the negativity is from the “pay-to-win” aspect “unbalanced” cards, and “broken” matchmaking. There are some issues amongst these that warrant a bit of negativity, albeit not as much. Instead of “pay-to-win” I’d like to call it ‘pay-to-gain’ as “pay-to-win” suggests that those not paying are losing, which is untrue. The game is designed for growth to be slower as you progress, it is meant to be a challenge. The microtransactions allow you to buy gems, aka the reigning currency in Clash Royale. With gems you can buy coin, chests, enter in challenges or open battle chests immediately. Buying gems allows you to rapidly grow by opening chests such as the “Super Magical Chest” which guarantees a plethora of cards and a rather large chance of a legendary in comparison to say a golden chest. This then allows you to upgrade your cards and/or use new ones you got from the chest to battle people that most likely do not have the same cards and card levels as you, giving you the ultimate advantage. This may seem like blatant P2W but this person will not always be here. The person will climb in trophies until they’re at a stalemate where they cannot progress because they’re at the point in which they need to play to get cards, or spend more money. Very few times have I been in a game where my opponent(s) had cards that were way above my levels. My point is is that you don’t have to pay to be good at the game, albeit it does take patience to grow. For the pay-to-gain aspect, I have docked 1 point from 10.

    The unbalanced cards argument I completely disagree with. Sure there have been instances where a card was clearly OP (overpowered), but they were nerfed (changed in a way to make them not as good, but still a viable card to use). Every card has its own use, and it heavily depends on the components of your opponent's deck to fill those uses. Sometimes you will just be bested, your deck might be the deck your opponent counters well and sometimes you’ll have a deck that destroys your opponent. Luck does play a part. The speed in which Supercell updates the game tackles any instance of unbalanced cards.

    The matchmaking in Clash Royale is based on your trophies. Your trophies determine who you battle and what arena you’re in. People have complained that sometimes (though rarely in my experience) you will face someone who is higher level with higher level cards. This happens because the higher level player has dropped trophies on purpose and I do think that there should be prevention to this because on one hand there’s losing, on the other is purposefully dropping trophies to face people you can easily destroy. Matchmaking speeds are almost instant as people (me included) are unable to cancel the search for battle because of how quick it is. For this reason I docked 1 point from 10.

    Positives:
    Beautiful card art and graphics (for a mobile game)
    Great balancing
    Smooth play
    The ability to play with clan mates/friends
    Consistent updates
    Wonderful audio ques
    Constant gameplay (no waiting for troops to train/energy)

    Negatives:
    Possible exploit to cause unfair matchmaking (-1 point)
    Pay-to-gain (-1 points)
    Untapped potential
    I’ve put untapped potential because there are small things that could be added to make the play experience better. This includes things like a mute players before battling option, private messaging clan mates, and cosmetic customizations.

    Clash Royale is a fun game and has the potential to be perfect but the game is run by a bunch of idiots who don`t take community feedback. Many cards in this game are broken and need to be fixed immediately. The matchmaking system is also horrible and you`ll get matched up with people who have higher card levels than you do.

The matchmaking can be mediocre, especially in 2v2s since you could face opponents who are one to two levels above you, and to make it even worse, there are teammates who use troll decks to screw you over, although that doesn't happen often in my POV. There are some good aspects to this game, however. It's gameplay is decent, meaning it is easy to learn. You could also request cards from your Clan-mates, getting those needed cards for leveling up.

    SUMMARY: Decent game with good gameplay, but needs some work with executing that gameplay.

    The game is really fun, probably the most enjoyable gameplay of all the mobile games.

    But at some point, it's really hard to progress and upgrade cards, although it's not as hard as it was 4-5 years ago.

    Ladder is pure pay to win, but tournaments and the stuff thats locked on tournament level is fun to play.

    Probably one of the most pay-to-win games out there, once you buy coins and open chests, you already have an advantage. Hopefully, Supercell will fix this in the future, however, this game is dead because of Pokémon GO, so no one cares kek.

    You can always focus on leveling up only one deck but still it takes months to level up all your cards and you won't be able to play anything else.

    This game has a lot of Pay 2 Win, practically is like that all the time since there's no limits on purchase; you can spend as many money as you want; so practically nothing prevents you of getting max level cards on the first arena. This carries all the way up to higher arenas, making the levels of some cards too strong to be countered to someone who doesn't pay.

    I'm not going to say "Don't play it" anyone is free to play what they want. But you've been warned of what you're going to find as soon as you start to level up.

    The art, strategy, and pacing aspects of the game are great, but its business model sucks. To see any real benefit, players need to spend $20, $50, or $100 and there's no upper limit to the spending.

    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

    Clash Royale is generally fun in terms of its proud and original real-time multiplayer game play. But the rest of the game is annoyingly imbalanced -- and will probably become way worse as the game gets older, just like Clash of Clans. Must be a Supercell thing.

That’s shouldn’t happen, it’s common sense that when you lose a game, the next time you should be given an easier opponent. It’s stupid I no longer reccomend this game. Finally god damn overpowered card ruin this game. The elite barbs should be 7 elixir they are just as powerful as the pekka. Freeze spell lasts to long. Valkyrie has to much health I would recommend toning that down a little since the best thing that counters large health troops is goblins/skarmy and of course they can barely touch her. Last thing is the infernos, they charge up faster then inferno dragons and towers do in clash of clans clan capital, they should charge up to the next level after 5 seconds not like the 2 seconds they have now.

    I have spent some money on this game becasue I belive that if I have fun I should support a developer but now I sit with gems I bought for real money and I cant use them for tourneys becasue of the incredible OP cards they design nowdays.

    Supercells greed look like this:

    Design a very strong card ppl must have to have a chance. Act like they are surprised over how good the card is even though the forum is full of threads of it and I only **** the threads that is not only complaining but try to solve it.

    When enough ppl spent their money rinse and repeat. As I said before you could still play without those cards because there was counters and not all played them because you needed skill too but now the card is just so powerful so you dont need any tactics.

    I want to warn ppl that dont spend any money before they fix it.

    Also they are into bad manner players and bullying. you cant turn the emotes off and it is 90 bullys and bad manners that use the system and many players had said this but thay dont care.

    Read som reviews that clearly are written by themselves.

    Ppl claim they are topplayers they played for free.

    I am not at the very top but have 6-7k trophies. PLayed since the start and have in total 7 maxlevel cards where none of course is a legendary and if you check the top no one have anything else then maxlevel cards and its jus impossible like pppl claim and I just don't think they even know where the top is =)

    Unfortunately, the very slow rate at which you gain free chest, combined with the rarity of epic cards and the fact that the matchin system dosen't care how much stronger your opponent is provides people who purchase cards with an overwhelming advantage. Not everyone will mind, but those who do

    Royale’s latest update has now had a month to bed-in, and it’s a welcome change. The two-tier battle pass has been slimmed down to one – the free version now considerably more generous – and the shards needed to buy evolutions are easier to come by. A fix for the game’s creaking clan wars system is presumably in the works, but this already feels like a big step in the right direction.
