Reviews for Clash Royale

The game has honestly fallen pretty hard of the last year or so. I took a break from the game due to the insane imbalancing, just to come back a scheme of pay to win items. The only positive thing that changed was the the crazy imbalance is only during clan wars and slightly better in normal modes

I’ve played Clash Royale off and on for over 8 years and it was incredible at launch with fresh cards, exciting game modes and constant updates. However recent years have been disappointing with fewer content updates and an increased focus on pay-to-win microtransactions. It feels like the game is now geared toward those willing to spend money which ruins the balance and fun for long time players. It’s sad to see such an amazing game come to this but it still has potential if it listens to us.

Would be fun, which it is, if it wasn't horrible at finding wifi. Can't even go five seconds without disconnecting. Once I was in a battle and my enemy was winning and I could've defended it if this sad excuse of a game didn't boot me out. I have full bars on wifi and internet but then I go into the game and then I have like 1 bar or just none. It gets so bad that in fact, it works BETTER outside in the car... FIX YOUR STUPID GAMES, this also happens on CoC too.

I have played this game on and off for around 8 years. Before the game was pretty fun with lots of strategy and creative thinking needed to win. Now it's just pay to win, if you don't have max level cards you are bound to lose no matter how much skill you have. Match making is even worse with having to constantly go against the same meta decks such as logbait, but they decide the best course of action to reduce log usage and logbait is to nerf log which just makes it a much worse problem.

Within two updates they removed both the 2v2 and the ranked mode, giving you no more option for a fair and balanced matchmaking. This makes the game unplayable if you don't put in enough money to level your troops up to what is typical for your ladder points. Every match is either a clear win or loss right from the start, since it solely depends on what levels yours and the opponent's cards have.

Three words define the actual state of the game: unrewarding, frustrating and repetitive. Right now, Clash Royale has become the most frustrating and repetitive game of all. I'm quitting the game for good because I'm sick of going against the same annoying decks over and over again. there is a lack of balance and the recent updates and new cards really sucks. The only almost fun thing about the game was the 2x2 battles, but the devs get rid of it.

Money sucker! The game is fantastic. It's highly addictive once you get the feel of it. One thing which I found annoying is when you are in battle mode and you get matched against an opponent of higher your level. It's very difficult to beat them since the health of their cards is much more. Ergo, I wish if we get matched according to king tower levels in battle instead of number of trophies. That would be a level playing field. also, gameplay sucks on mobile internet. I hope creators fix it.

After almost 7 years of playing and staying positive. The newest update just spells Pay to Win. For the past few years I always enjoyed Party mode over climbing a ladder with an unbalanced algorithm. Party mode was the only way I earn gold coins to level up to 14. You have taken that away to replace with Pay to Win Party mode. The max amount daily is capped at 1000 which is accomplished in a few rounds. You need to pay to collect double amount with a time limit. Who ask for this update?

I have been playing this game off and on since 2018, and I wish I could go back to those days. Clan wars is worse, the games have never felt more pay to win than before. I am at level 14 8500+ trophies and I enjoy playing but it is so hard playing against evolutions and level 15s when I am simply miles away from them. Worst part is it takes 3 SEASONS to get the evolution you want for a f2p. Making retro bowl a permanent game would eliminate my critique, until then fun game but p2w near the top.

This is one of the best mobile games ever made. No ads. Vertical Gameplay. You can succeed without spending money (for the most part) and most importantly the community aspect of it. but I fear that supercells inability to keep 2v2s in the game makes this app a dumpster fire. I cant enjoy playing w my friends and im forced to face 1v1s against high level players w level 14 cards for some reason. It makes 0 sense why they wouldnt just keep 2v2s in the game. Its so confusing it angers me.

This was one of my favorite games. However, the recent update (early 2025) has reduced the how much gold you can get by so much, you can't hardly advance. Gold chests that were worth 25k - 30k now only seem to give about 4 or 5k, and several other reductions. I've bought the monthly royale pass thing for quite a while. I won't buy it anymore and will likely quit playing all together. Hopefully they'll change it back!!

Cheating to the extreme. I don't review games so that should mean something. I have tried to play different decks with different elixir. I am waiting for something that costs 4 elixir and then I get plowed with a rocket that cost 6 immediately followed by a prince (5) and a mini pekka (4). How is that possible when their is only 10 elixir. Supercell has crashed the game and I've been playing for years, spent money on the game. However, it looks like I'm not the only one who hates the game now

this game is alright, I started playing on release and at one point I took a break from the game for a few years. I hate coming back to this game because my king tower is somehow level 13 but most of my cards are level 11, so I can't make any decks work because of the level of cards I'm up against. it's also incredibly difficult to get enough cards in order to level them up, and it's now impossible for me to get evolutions without paying an absurd amount of money.

It's addictive for the wrong reasons. The fun characters and mass destruction of towers and enemies pull you in until you progress too far in a short amount of time. At this point, you realize the progression is ridiculous and tedious. If you are a new player, don't even try playing now. It was fun when the game first came out, but year after year, the game digs itself into a hole, losing amounts of players. I guess that's what happens to games that become ancient over time. 🤷

As a free to play player with 8+ years I've seen this game change and grow. All the good stuff and the bad. It's a better state now then it was a few years ago. Some things are still not balanced but things have been shaping up recently. The competitive nature of the game feels lacking with no incentive to play ranked. As of recently they changed trophyroad and ranked once more linking the two. Hitting 15000 unlocks ranked and resets at the end of the season to 12000 which is a horrible change.

I am sick and tired of the boxes to have to click 3-5 times and wait for the animation. The majority of players aren't 5 years old that would actually enjoy that process. It's annoying waste of time. At least give an option in setting to stop all the animation if not wanted. Go back to one click chests! The war matches are horrible one out of ten is equally matched for both sides. Much of the fun of the game has been taken away, too much has been taken away. Sell company back to supercell.

I won't lie, Clash is a great is an amazing game to play. They now have two different gamemodes and they're both pretty fun to play. The only thing I'm not too happy about is the part where they removed the shop, the one that pretty much carried us free to play players in collecting evo's. Now we have to wait for events like this or gotta buy our way through the game.

I really like most of the changes that the game has made over the years, I just wish that it was more f2p friendly, bring back the season shop, but better, making it easier to get the things the shop had to offer, the evo shards, currencies, cards, it would be nice if they added elite wildcards too, but maybe it's too much to ask. But there's a lot of potential in that idea, bringing back the trading tokens or whatever, I think it would make everyone happy.

I got the game again. I played for a long time a while back. when I started the tutorial I got stuck in it. I've done about 15 practice battles, and I still see that stupid hand trying to make me do another practice battle. I tried recovering my old account and it won't let me. I was willing to start over with new cards. but I still cant get past the tutorials.

Clash Royale is the best mobile game out there. It's the perfect mix of strategy, quick thinking, and fun. Every battle feels unique because it's not just about strong cards but how you play them. I love experimenting with different decks, and the updates always keep things fresh. Climbing the ranks is thrilling, and even losses help me improve. Plus, being in a clan and working with friends makes the game even better. I can easily say Clash Royale is my favorite game ever.
