First off I wanna say that the fact this game has literally NO ads unless you want to watch one (for extra rewards) just makes this game a hundred times better than the other games that are just 95% ads and 5% gameplay not to mention the promotion Isnt misleading and the actual game is pretty entertaining my only problem is I feel the rewards for winning a match aren’t enough it takes a decent amount of the wood currency to upgrade and I’m not saying double the rewards I’m saying that a small buff would be nice something like 5-10 more for each round would be nice and make it easier to progress still I understand that it could mess with the progression of the game making it boring.

Until yesterday, the only timed upgrade was to your castle. Each upgrade costed a certain amount of gold and wood, which you collect by plane. And each upgrade took a certain amount of time, with better upgrades taking hours. Of course you could pay some gems which you would need to pay actual money for and you could skip the upgrade time.The nice thing was when you went to upgrade a unit there was only a gold cost. You paid the gold. Your unit upgraded so long as you had enough cards to do so. Yesterday they added a training timer to whichever unit you wanted to upgrade, and just like a castle, the higher you level up your unit, the longer the training. Unless, as you can probably guess, you want to purchase gems and skip the upgrade timing.One good thing is that the game does not force you to watch ads, and when you there is no energy cost, you can battle as much as you want. For now. I have a feeling that in the near future there’s going to be an energy meter and once it’s gone, you’ll have to pay to play more or you’re gonna have to wait. I hate it when good games start to nickel dime players to death but unfortunately, I think that’s where this one is headed.

The ONLY reason Castle Clashers gets two stars is because of how much I like the concept and the fact that the ads within the game are not too intrusive. VooDoo is a demon when it comes to pumping out low quality, ad infested, horrible games but I guess they partnered with an actual competent studio. Alas, it was not enough to save this poor game. The art looks like it was drawn by middle schoolers doodling in notebooks, the game is extremely pay to win (classic for games developed/published by VooDoo), the fake leaderboard and fake online matches. This game mixes C.A.T.S. And a classic tower defense game together which I find to be super cool and unique! But until a real game studio comes in and does this concept TRUE justice, this will stay here as a dark void of boredom and trickery for people who download it thinking it’s cool, only to delete it within 30 minutes.

It is a fun game, easy to pass the time with. However, the whole “this many wins until you reset” is dumb. Takes away from my desire to play the game. You can only get so many wins until you get a “reset” timer, and then when that timers up, you can win more games. It makes it way too hard to actually progress, since I wanna be able to play as much as I want whenever I do have the free time. Needs to be removed. If they don’t wanna remove the timer, at least change it. Make a competitive game mode. Add the timer to that. Leave the normal, relaxed, non-competitive mode without a timer.
