Nice, short rounds where you have to use your loadout of six items (buildings, units, or effects) to try to paint the map your color as your opponent tries to do the opposite. There is no pay-to-win in a match, it's just a question of unlocking things faster. Which really just opens up the doors to new things or higher-level opponents. The balancing and matchmaking is good so I never feel "it's not fair, they had this or that card that I'm far away from." Some of your cards will be higher level than others but you have to decide what to take. The higher level card isn't always better if it would be an imbalanced loadout that doesn't give you the options you rely on tactically.Each card is interesting and it feels like there are lots of good options.My only complaint would be that it is still hard for me to tell whether taking more of the map makes your elixir generation faster or affects it at all. I'm sure technically I could borrow a second phone to time elixir generation to find out, but that is asking a lot.

This game had been fun and easy to learn and pickup. Collecting cards if fairly simple and having level differences doesn’t seem like its the end as other games do. My big issue comes from only playing against computers. They always feel like they are set to easy mode and with a good deck you can win way before overtime. The race feature is nice but it doesn’t feel like it’s human contributed due to how much npc play there is. When you have a streak of 300 and every bot has a streak of 60–80 the bonus reward doesn’t feel valuable or thrilling. In the end the game feels more like an offline game for extreme casual play while we wait for more updates. For decks it comes down to specific cards that overwhelm the game. For me Buzzsaw, stun gun, gun, cart, minion army, and mini drones is my main deck. Lots of other cards are underwhelming, like all the ground units, and the anti-air is non-existent. In fresh starts if you don’t have stun gun or place a motor right an early dragon will dominate the field. All in all theres much to improve on and the only thing potentially worth buying is the ad-free so you can play faster without interruptions. For a start you would hope for a little more polish and a minimum PvP.Edit: realized this game is 12+ years old and the dev hasn’t made any significant changes. Dropping my review from 3 to 1 because of this. Personally a 12+ year game with nothing to show indicates to me that this is a money grab only game.

Okay, to start off i just wanna say this game is really fun i’ve been playing it for about a week or two now. But, their are a few things I would love to see the game improve on. First of all fixing a few bugs relating to some of the cards like the “minion swarm” and the “gun”. Second the progression in the game feels very slow in the sense of upgrading your cards, coins seem to be an issue for me. I have basically all my cards ready to upgrade but gold is the only thing limiting me to do so. Also the packs are a bottle neck but i wouldn’t say it’s as major as the gold. Also progression through the ranks is way too easy once i started actually pushing up the ranks, i got to “ultra diamond”(the max rank) in 30 mins to an hour of playing. I think playing against real players would solve this issue and make the game feel less stale from playing against bots the whole time. Their is also a problem with the card balancing, some cards seem to be way more powerful than others and some seem to be borderline useless. So over all this game has a lot of potential and if it can fix these issue AND differentiate from all the other games of it’s category, it will definitely be a top tier game.

I have enjoyed the game, but have played past all the leagues. Would be cool if there were more leagues above 6000. Seems like there was a big upgrade but with it came bugs. Sometimes, often when about to play a “hard” opponent, when the game play screen loads, the meter will be blank for me, it will not add any energy, time doesn’t tick, and the opponents name says “enemy name”. Mostly I have to hard quit the game to have it reset. A few times I have had to do it twice. Sometimes when I get the screen described above, I will hear fast music and sounds like time is running out and I automatically win. I know longer see how many games in a row I have won, which was a lot of fun for me and really kept me engaged. Sometimes the hero’s seem to have a glitch on the screen with two spaced out large blocks on my half and two mirrored on my opponents, if I put a gun in the middle the hero’s only go to the side of the blocks rather than directly through to attack my gun. This happens even if the hero is too large to fit. There are a few other issues but I can’t think of them right now.
