    Definitely one of the worst games I have ever played. It's so fun and addicting, but it gets super annoying when ever the cards take forever to put down.

I guarantee you, you might like this game at first, but it won't take long for you to hate this game and supercell for whatever they have just created. Boom beach was much better than this and is still one of my favorite games.… Expand

    Nice mix of tower defense and card game.
    But pay2win is stunning in this game. After Arena 4 or so difference between paying and non-paying users is extremly high. Good deck is 90% of success. It's not a Hearthstone - stronger deck wins, no matter what. No skill required.

    I've spent little less than 10$ and it already pushed my deck another level, playing against f2p users is boring for me and frustrating for them - just throw random cards in random area and you've won. No bigger skill required.

    If you want to stay on this game longer you MUST spend some cash to upgrade your deck, because is almost impossible to get best cards by grinding ingame and collect money to upgrade them.
    According to my personal experience you need to spend at least 30$ to build and upgrade really strong deck.
    A feature to categorize players would be a really gamechanger - play with a players that inveseted comparable amount of money in game.

    Despite this it could be very goods game if not being made by greedy supercell.    … Expand

However this concept is immediately tarnished from the beginning as there's always micro-transactions which can buy you an advantage. Sure the beginning is easy (even against pay to win kids) because you can easily outsmart and destroy younger kids who are stuck at the bottom. But as you go up, the arenas are much more unforgiving. There's a larger variety of broken cards which kids buy and use to win matches. It's no longer a game of wits and is now a game of who can spend more money. In higher arenas it seems more like a chore than it is a game and that's what's so awful. Supercell (ONCE AGAIN) has let pay to win kids ruin a fun and interesting concept (actually clash of clans wasn't that fun to begin with)… Expand

    This game is crap. Pay, pay, pay to win! No money no result! You need 5000-10000$ to play this "FREE to play" game! Supercell is greedy, avid company!

    I 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...

    Based on pay to win, you pay you get best cards. You will get the usual cards then someone appears having a lot of things like the guy that destroy towers in 4 hits on a horse etc...Really not a game to be addicted or fan

    Been playing the game since release. As an arena 9 F2P player I can't believe Supercell killed this game in much less time than they did with CoC.

Then they nerfed his damage of 4% (like, seriously?!). But when the new cards came out I started questioning why were I still playing this cash-grab. They added three new legendaries. Sparky: a moving tesla that deals more than 1000 damage per hit? Ok, she has many weaknesses. Lava Hound: a tanky air unit that spawn 6 pups on death? No problem, it costs 7! But the Miner. MY GOD THE MINER. For just 3 elixir you can summon this unit anywhere in the arena and there is no sign of where he is digging. Yes, you're right, the opponent needs to GUESS the evoking positions of the miner. And if you place the defensive troop wrong it can do the difference from a win or a loss. Not to mention wintrading, low legendary drop rate, horrible matchmaking, badly designed tournaments and other unbalanced cards. F*ck supercell.… Expand

    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    … Expand

The clash royale community sucked starting at 2019, and it gets even worse today, the Developers ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT THE MATCHMAKING, Two of my main cards in my Ladder Deck are Ruined by Balance Team, the content of clash royale in Youtube is nothing short but mediocre content over and over, everybody is harassing one of our clan including me, and now even though i'am maaxed in tower, nothing matters except Spamming like retard is only the option to win the game. This game is nothing more but a lass, even buying pass royale isn't worth it. Don't even try to waste your money there. And overall, this game, i can say this game is now dead on arrival.… Expand

    They ban accounts for no reason and they take months to update. Some cards don’t have a fluid counter so they just dominate the game. This game is a huge disappointment from supEArcell. Please don’t play this game unless you have some extra phones laying around...

    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.

    Clash Royale tweaks the formula of its predecessor and delivers an incredibly addictive and well-balance experience. Yes, there are in-app purchases, but even if you choose not to pay, you can still enjoy the latest game by Supercell.
