Castle Duels: Royal PvP Battle 4+

It’s a pretty good game…

I honestly enjoy the game. I don’t really have any complaints about the game itself but maybe a suggestion/something I wish could be added. I wish while in a pvp battle, there was an option to disable the sending of emojis or chats during the battle. Some players will send them non stop to me during the battle almost as an attempt to distract I guess (and it’s not like I can ask them to stop) and honestly, it does sometimes sway me from continuing to play. It just gets irritating and it would be convenient if there were at least the option to turn those chats off during battles because more and more players have started doing it lately. Other than that, the game is pretty solid :)

Could be perfect

The actual game when you get to play it is amazing and addictive. Waiting almost 2 minutes every round for your opponent to make their plays is awful. It happens every time. Please reward people for playing in a reasonable time or penalize for slow play. Also, an add after every drudge of a match just to claim your reward is just throwing salt in the wound. Speed things up please.

Update: They changed it a little so there is a penalty for slow play. It is still not enough. At this point they should change the name of the game to "wake me when you're done" It is that bad. It's so awful. Make it so that when you take the whole time you forfeit the whole match. Don't just take away battle power for taking a long time. Take away energy for the next round. Make the game playable.

Edit: Here's an even better idea. Either make it where we can cancel a match without a loss or make it where we can block a player who is slow so we don't get matched with them again.

Fun for a little while, but expect to pay regularly

I had to drop it to one star after almost a week of playing.

I used to sell video game for a living. I know what builds brand loyalty and this isn't it. The game has a solid concept and some fun game play elements. Unfortunately it's built on what seems to be a popular model in the mobile world. After a short bit of time you'll stagnate, start to lose all the time, and maybe even slide backwards. So you buy some upgrades and it's fun for a few more hours or days or whatever. Rinse wash, repeat. Before you realized it you could have bought a good platform game for what you spent.

I far prefer to own a game outright. Several developers comes to mind. They put out a game and I buy it. Challenges are overcome by trying different approaches, side quests, practice, natural progression… Not by spending more money over and over again. As a result I keep buying their games when new ones come out. As long as they keep quality up they'll be in business for decades. I'll probably play this for a few days or a week or two before I shelf it. It's not the kind thing I'll stay with after a certain point. If they went to a "pay once" systen and evened out the matching algorithm I'd probably give it 5 stars, buy it, and play it for weeks or months and keep coming back to it.

Let's not forget about how unbalanced the matching is. A fair duel is uncommon at best. It's usually a slaughter one way or the other.
