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.
