This was one of my favorite games. However, the recent update (early 2025) has reduced the how much gold you can get by so much, you can't hardly advance. Gold chests that were worth 25k - 30k now only seem to give about 4 or 5k, and several other reductions. I've bought the monthly royale pass thing for quite a while. I won't buy it anymore and will likely quit playing all together. Hopefully they'll change it back!!

I love this game. different cards, decks, opponents, and strategies. But for the love of God, it is near impossible to get ANY points on the trophy road. I know It may be a skill issue, but I hate the fact that you win as much as you lose. I've been in the same spot, winning, losing, for around 3 weeks. if they could just decrease the amount of trophies you lose, id definitely rate it higher.

This game is an absolute waste of time. There are way too many overpowered cards that some people can't get or dont have. This game is also way too pay to win. you could be level 11 with level 11 cards, but battling a level 13 with level 15 cards. You can pay for about anything to progress in the game, so not spending money is insanely hard to do when you're trying to win. I would give it 0 stars if it was possible. Horrible game.

This game has become more pay to win than it has before. It is near impossible when I have mostly level 12 troops facing a team of level 14 troops at +7000 trophies. Everything is harder to upgrade because of the amount of gold you get so you have to pick and choose what you want to upgrade and can't try any other decks out because the other troops are under level compared to other people with the same deck.

This game has gone down hill, fast. If you're new, just go ahead and uninstall, there's no good way for you to play the game (bring back capped classic 1v1). Want to play with friends? They took away classic 2v2 so you can't run silly decks with friends, let alone with friends at all. They've got an auto-battler... which is only reason they're not 1 star, cuz otherwise, this game is basically dead

this is a fun game at first, it's easy to level up your cards and easy to unlock new cards. however after the first little bit, it becomes very apparent that it's a pay-to-win game. if you dont pay for rewards then it is nearly impossible to level up cards. On top of that the match-making algorithm it awful, 90% of your opponents will have WAY better cards and better towers too, making it nearly impossible to win and progress/level-up.

So I am trying to return to the game after a long time away from the game, but Supercell decides to remove the Google sign in button. I have no access to my old account and after trying to do all the steps supercell suggests I still can't get my old account back. I have reached out to account recovery twice, once through my brother's account. They say they can't verify the account is mine. Years of progress gone. Players should not lose their account this easily. Disappointing.

Pay to win. Period. 2nd is frustrating: there's a thing called spawn when you place a player in action. Well, yeah, your competition can place things farther ahead of you, and there's this glitch where you can only see it until it's already at your castle! They blame it on servers and your phone but I think it's plum cheating. There'll be this Giant, good play, then all of a sudden after the Giant marches across the board another one appears out of thin air.

100% CASHGRAB PAY TO WIN! IT USED TO BE BAD, NOW ITS MUCH WORSE! And literally EVERY game mode is a 5 minute battle against one of about 4-5 decks (all of which are easily defeatable with a single building and a single building seeker). So yeah. better use one of those decks, and hope your opponent gives up, or else be ready for a bitter 5 minute fight where the only way the other player can get a hit is with hog rider or fireball, 250 damage at a time baby!

Cody Pinter

I've been playing on and off for 8 years.... in short: it's a waste of time and money. In depth: it's painfully obvious matchmaking is rigged in order to prevent players from going on long win streaks. After playing and winning for too long (usually about 4-5 wins) the game's algorithm will intentionally put you against hard counters. It's unfair and not fun to play. Not to mention the developers are so out of touch with their own game. Every "update" is another means to extort their player base

After almost 7 years of playing and staying positive. The newest update just spells Pay to Win. For the past few years I always enjoyed Party mode over climbing a ladder with an unbalanced algorithm. Party mode was the only way I earn gold coins to level up to 14. You have taken that away to replace with Pay to Win Party mode. The max amount daily is capped at 1000 which is accomplished in a few rounds. You need to pay to collect double amount with a time limit. Who ask for this update?

Remach G

It seems fun at first, until the reality soaks in that 90% of the players are bots and that skill doesn't actually matter if the other dudes have higher levels. There is a small amount of skill involved, but it is mostly based on levels and who has a better dude. I cannot even rematch the same players, and I can't send challenges to my friends. I do not recommend this game to anyone looking for fair brainy battles.

Richard Samchez

I am sick and tired of the boxes to have to click 3-5 times and wait for the animation. The majority of players aren't 5 years old that would actually enjoy that process. It's annoying waste of time. At least give an option in setting to stop all the animation if not wanted. Go back to one click chests! The war matches are horrible one out of ten is equally matched for both sides. Much of the fun of the game has been taken away, too much has been taken away. Sell company back to supercell.

Caleb

It's addictive for the wrong reasons. The fun characters and mass destruction of towers and enemies pull you in until you progress too far in a short amount of time. At this point, you realize the progression is ridiculous and tedious. If you are a new player, don't even try playing now. It was fun when the game first came out, but year after year, the game digs itself into a hole, losing amounts of players. I guess that's what happens to games that become ancient over time. 🤷

Luke Washington

This is one of the best mobile games ever made. No ads. Vertical Gameplay. You can succeed without spending money (for the most part) and most importantly the community aspect of it. but I fear that supercells inability to keep 2v2s in the game makes this app a dumpster fire. I cant enjoy playing w my friends and im forced to face 1v1s against high level players w level 14 cards for some reason. It makes 0 sense why they wouldnt just keep 2v2s in the game. Its so confusing it angers me.

Russell Robinson

I have been playing this game off and on since 2018, and I wish I could go back to those days. Clan wars is worse, the games have never felt more pay to win than before. I am at level 14 8500+ trophies and I enjoy playing but it is so hard playing against evolutions and level 15s when I am simply miles away from them. Worst part is it takes 3 SEASONS to get the evolution you want for a f2p. Making retro bowl a permanent game would eliminate my critique, until then fun game but p2w near the top.

Patrick Pedreira (Gods-Goliath)

I've been playing this game for nearly a decade now and the most recent update has made me stop playing. I didn't love how long chests would take and progression felt painfully slow for years but with daily lucky drops, the battle pass, and the season shop. It felt faster then ever. That is, until they cut the battle pass rewards in half, got rid of chests and the season shop and changed the daily rewards. I have played this game for a long time, but this was the final straw for me. I give up.

Aditya Goel

Money sucker! The game is fantastic. It's highly addictive once you get the feel of it. One thing which I found annoying is when you are in battle mode and you get matched against an opponent of higher your level. It's very difficult to beat them since the health of their cards is much more. Ergo, I wish if we get matched according to king tower levels in battle instead of number of trophies. That would be a level playing field. also, gameplay sucks on mobile internet. I hope creators fix it.

Mark Pavlus

you can't buy tower cards with in game currency, they push for people to spend actual money when I have so many gems and coins. game was turned from fun and relaxing to do i really want to spend real money to have short time happiness. It's still fun to play in between sets at the gym but come on supercell. I don't want to spend money on your game.

Kingston Ahn

Game is not what it used to be. Devs don't play test their own game, consistently add unessesary and unwanted feature to the game, and barely respond to those who play the game. It has an extremely greedy and predatory system which greatly favors players who spend money over those who invest time and effort to learn the mechanics of the game, making matches grueling and miserable for a free to play player. In conclusion, if you don't want to spend money than don't waste your time.
