모바일 로얄: 캐슬 디펜스 (Mobile Royale‪)‬ 17+

I wanna start my review off with saying that this game is truly beautiful and I love the detail of the graphics in this one, how each character has unique styles to them, the battles, the building, everything is amazing for a mobile game and greatly unique. Ive been playing IGG’s apps for years and have grown into a huge fan of their apps. Although I’ve been having some trouble though with this like I do with Brave Conquest, this game seems to crash after 30 minutes most of the time when playing it and this issue really makes it hard to fully enjoy the experience of Mobile Royal. I love all of IGG’s game and have been a fan for years and experienced similar issues but not this bad. It’s why I’ve only given my rating four stars and would change it if this issue is fixed in the future, same with Brave Conquest. I’ll look forward to playing it more and hopefully growing into a fan of another great IGG game✌️

I've played many, many of this type of game. The developers are quite generous to the free to play (F2P) player. Crystals are given regularly for just completing standard tasks. Easy to save up for shields, especially the 3 day ones, which means you can play with protection and a sense of safety until you are ready to enjoy the battles, if that is your style. There are daily activities and regular evernts, both done with your team and individually. If you do choose to purchase crystals, there are plenty of inexpensuve options. An airship is there where you can exchange your rss (resources) for other types of resources and speeds, which help move along your development. I've dropped other games and made this my number one addiction. :)

You can also move your entire kingdom to another world, using Garnet Stones you get with guild coins, which is amazing, considering other games make you start from scratch and not a very viable option for most, given the time it takes to forge your gear, construct your buildings and complete your research. And, if your team (guild) allows it, you don't have to leave your guild to visit other worlds and come back, as long as you can afford the garnets there and back. All-in-all, a fantastic game, with a plethora of options and tasks to fill your time once your constructions and research get to the point where they take days or months.

Pros: I like the many aspects of the game that always give you something to do. It’s easy to devote hours to this game, so the mechanics do draw you in.

Cons: currently the mechanics are heavily punitive to anyone who doesn’t spend hundreds/thousands of dollars. You have to spend lots of money to build you castle and troops. If you don’t pay, you are left in the dust and will find it difficult to get into a strong guild. If you aren’t in a strong guild, you are just prey for the big players who want to build their standings by whipping out your troops and stealing your supplies. It is not difficult to defend yourself with a shield, but it is amazing how easy it is to forget when to login and reset the shield on a daily basis. Forget to shield just once and it could take you literally weeks to get back to your former strength. If you never take vacation and want to fully devote yourself to a game, this is perfect for you.

I had a problem with unannounced server maintenance locking me out of the game when I was supposed to reshield. They only give you a three hr shield when servers come back online, which was 4am in my time zone. When I logged on the next morning my troops and rss were gone and my leader was captured with an impossible bounty set. Customer service told me to be more careful. I told them I’m done giving them my money with that attitude.
