I was visiting my sister and we were trying to watch a movie and she kept sitting on her phone playing this game and I kept hearing the cheesy music. I asked her what she was playing and she’s showing me this castle game. And I said it looks stupid. She told me to download it and try it for myself and I did just to show her how dumb it was. That was three weeks ago, and I have not put the phone down since. It is such a fun game. there are definitely an app purchases. But you don’t have to buy anything to excel in the game. It’ll just take you longer.I actually didn’t end up purchasing anything until this week when I saw my sisters castle again and I wanted to advancement even more to look like hers. It’s really fun it’s more of a game of skill with you and the other person you’re competing against. I definitely would recommend. My husband is now mad at me for always play the game while he wants to watch a movie. Just mute the cheesy music and you’ll be fine.

If you are looking for a pay to win type of game, look no further this is that kind of game. The game starts you off by playing against bots. The game does claims they are real players, but having played a few days worth it’s clear to me you are playing against bots early on. Why? The “player” constantly throw games and allows you to win. No worries tho, it’s super fun at the beginning. Once you are a certain level you are matching up against players that have bought their wins. Let me explain, this game has characters with specific powers that are instant game winners once you purchase them for $10 a character. Their powers are so OP that they don’t even need to try. No issues with pay to play vs pay to play, but what’s the point when you are matched up against the pay to play players and they have the ability to take out your castle using one character. Game has many ways to speed up upgrades by watching 2 min long videos. This game needs some immediate fixing. Stick the pay to play with the pay to play. If you are okay with spending $10 a character by all means. If you are looking to grind and win FAIRLY I’d look elsewhere. Game is a money grab for developers. Look elsewhere if you want some fun and play a fun fair game. YOU CANNOT WIN IF YOU DON’T PAY. On to the next game.

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.

I liked the game for about a month, until the game started putting you up against people who just buy all the premium players to add to their arsenal. I’m being put up against players who have all 8 of the their players at 100 (maxed out) and my players are in the mid to upper 50s. If you don’t spend $10 bucks, you can’t get the premium players, at least that’s the only way I can see how to get them. I’m gonna give it another couple of weeks to see if they create divisions based on purchasing players or not. I was winning at a clip of 75% because I have a good strategy and I use all the extra power ups and most players don’t use them. Now I win about once every 4 try’s because I’m 30-40 levels behind my opponent, of course I’m gonna lose…. UPDATE…. Totally not worth it anymore…. I get put up against people who have bought the premium players who have 3000 trophies less than I do but the only reason why they win is because they players are 30 to 40 levels above Mine. And there’s no way to get a consistent equal pairing. The game was awesome, but I’m done!!!
