![]() Goblins have attacked your village for whatever reason and it's your responsibility to bring the hammer down on the little green jerks. These blond flat-topped and mustachioed sword wielders may look fearsome but they offer little more than (literal) cannon-fodder as the front line fighters of your army.Ĭombat is deceptively challenging and we're treated first to the game's fairly robust single-player campaign. From the barracks we train our army, another waiting or plunking-down-a-Gem game, made up first of Barbarians. Combat seems to be the mechanic the developers are most jazzed about (they're almost certainly more jazzed about their millions of dollars). There's definitely Clashing in the game and it's easily the best part. A similar model can be found in most freemium games but in Clash of Clans the system seems especially unforgiving. It seems like the polish that comes with being a more high end title in the genre gives the developers a lot of confidence or just pressure to sells us on the in-app-purchases, and with no real deluxe content to unlock we're more or less paying for the ability to play the game in smaller increments. But unless one is compelled by the game's admittedly fun aesthetic there's not much setting it apart. The town-building elements are fairly in line with others in the genre but are superior to imitators. A few Gems can be found from removing trees or rocks from your kingdom's plot, but this process takes gold or elixir as well as time and therefore offers little relief from the waiting game. Like most freemium games, we're given a reasonable endowment at the start of the game that seems to run out almost immediately. Premium currency exists in the form of Gems, used for speeding up production or buying missing resources for production. A brief tutorial lays out the groundwork: mine gold (in convenient coin form) and harvest a mana-like substance known as elixir, spend these resources on upgrading your Town Hall and setting down a few defensive cannons as well as constantly upgrading your resource farms for an increasingly heavy flow of supplies. We open on a fairly unimpressive plot of land dotted with mostly useless stones and trees as well as a few workers already milling around diligently awaiting their first orders. One wrong placement could spell disaster or secure victory. Tactical Deployment - choose where to place units on the battlefield wisely.Various Units - there are over 18 types of warriors spread across 4 tiers of troops.Intense PvP - raid other player's villages, stealing loot, and join a clan to engage in massive clan warfare.Single-Player Warfare - take on goblin encampments to learn the game's mechanics and reap rewards.Build Your Village - collect resources and begin your own civilization, securing your citizens with defensive structures and building improvements.Finally join a Clan, combine forces, and take your battle to the global leader-board and make a name for yourself in PvP. Upgrade your mines to increase your flow of resources and unlock 18 types of warriors and heroes through the 4 tier troop system. ![]() Defending one's kingdom is equally important and players must plan accordingly with walls, cannons, bombs and more. Players accumulate gold, elixir, and dark elixir to construct a kingdom with the ultimate goal of training increasingly powerful troops to attack and raid in the single player campaign or PvP. Clash of Clans by Supercell is an isometric 2D village builder and strategy hybrid with a massive community and consistent popularity. ![]()
