Clash of Clans in IOS

★★★★★

★★★★★ Way too expensive and much too long upgrades.

Clash is a wonderful game but it is plagued with non game nuisance like upgrade timers and artificial length. The game could be about playing it but it becomes just about waiting for upgrades to finish 95% of the time. The solution clash of clans introduced from the beginning I believe is still just spend money to speed things up. If I wanted to catch up to another player that has been playing longer than me, I would need to spend hundreds of dollars maybe even thousands to speed up something that could be a click of a button. The game isn’t even about raiding to get enough gold or elixir, it’s about playing for a day in between a 3-7 day window while you wait for your town to build up instead of playing the game 3-7 days to earn enough resources to upgrade your buildings. The involvement with clan wars and I guess the rank system are the only thing you could consider to be daily playable progress and you are going to hit a level of base you can’t make progress on until your troops are high enough level eventually anyways. It’s just a shame that this could be a game I play instead of a game I look at. I shouldn’t be angry at a simply game but it’s hard not to when I look at it and can’t upgrade or progress for 5 days while my builders finish making my air defense do ~5-10% more damage maybe. The clan bases and daily incentives are cool but it doesn’t matter when you have full storage for a week and can’t do anything.

★★★★★ It’s good but a bad flaw

I love playing coc because it’s fun and addicting thus the rating but because it’s not a 4 star or 5star rating is because of supercell banning me for no reason so what happened was me and my dad started playing coc again and I got up to a town hall 5 and he was a town hall three and I didn’t know you could recover a lost account then my dad found out how to get his old account back he was a town hall 12 and so he just gave them what the town hall level was and the name of the base the clan his name and the tag and he got his account back so I wanted to get my old account back too and for two days supercell support asked for information such as what phone type the account was on and the name and clan etc me and my dad were in the same exact clan and after they ask one more time in the morning for some info they banned me due to an account phishing attempt supercell support had no reason to ban me and the only reason I can think of is because of the lack of information since it was a year or two ago and the fact that my town hall 5 had progress which is no where near enough evidence to ban me for 31 days and so if supercell support doesn’t help unban me then I will lose a lot of respect for the game and being worried if I will lose my account because I didn’t get a warning or was banned for 31 days will ruin this game for me that’s all I wanted to say and I hope supercell helps and I can change my review and fix this mess

★★★★★ Ten year review from a veteran player.

The developers would probably never read this, but for anyone else here goes. I started playing Clash of Clans for over 10 years ago. Without a doubt this was the best mobile game I played at the time, made new friends and had a blast. I formed over 3 clans that are still very strong till this day. However I left the game in 2019 (burnt out) came back in 2020, left again in 2021 when I was almost fully maxed. Now I was considering coming back until I saw how so many things have changed, the game is even more beautiful than I left it. However, I quickly realized why I left the game as soon as I got back. The upgrade times are absolutely ridiculous, 19 - 21 days for just one upgrade, and I have over 100 of them. Which means I could spend almost 2 years just trying to get maxed if I decide not to spend money. Not to mention the time to upgrade heroes and troops. I love this game a lot, anytime I want to return I immediately get demoralized and quickly reminded why I left in the first place. If more emphasis can be put on resource collection as opposed to upgrade time, this game will be so much improved and it will see many old players come back. The walls are another set of grind, but I don’t mind those because they upgrade instantly. If you’re thinking of playing this game, download it and have a blast, but be warned that after about 8 months the real grind will begin to set in.

★★★★★ Game is fun, but needs improvements

Hey guys, hopefully this review will make it to the supercell team. I have played this game for awhile and as a player I’ve noticed the dificulteis it is to climb to the top. To start with I want to talk about upgrading the walls. I’m at a point where my next walls upgrade will be 4mil per wall. This seems very unbalanced compared to what it costs to upgrade the buildings. I do want to say tho, thank you supercell team for coming out with the magic books!!! I just couldn’t bear the idea of waiting a month for a TH upgrade! Anyhow, the walls, way too expensive to upgrade, 4mil for a single piece of wall when a defense building costs only about twice as that, “maybe a way to add a less expensive way to upgrade the walls if you choose to let your builder work on it for awhile? Just an idea!” Many players have very rushed walls and it seems like a general issue. Another thing are the heroes, I mean, come on, 3 heroes, and my queen now costs 90k DE to upgrade. It would be fine if it was 1 heroes, now upgrading all 3, plus the lab troops with just a couple DE colector. By the way, thanks for adding the boost for 1 gem only for the collectors!! Overall I think the game is cool, but the people at the bottom are struggling to get to top, need to ease a little on the costs of these things. Thanks for reading!

★★★★★ Very Attractive Game

I enjoy this game for many of its functions. I enjoy the battling without all the gore, so it can be played with people who are conscious of these things. It has a ‘Join Clans’ and a ‘Add Friends’ function if you want to play with family members and friends, or make new ones. It has an original layout far different from most games, that is fun to play. The only things that are negative about this game is the wait time, how all the sceneries, magic items and perks have to be bought with real currency and not in game gems and the ‘Clan War’ function. If the wait time for everything was cut in half people would be able to play without one hour to three day waiting periods which would cause people to play for longer periods of time. If the sceneries, perks, magic items, e.t.c, were able to be bought with gems, players would have more freedom in purchase options. Lastly, if players could have infinite ‘Attack’ options people would be even more attracted to the game since they wouldn’t have to wait for the war to end. Other than those obstacles, this game has comical graphics, a little bit of strategy and fantasy creatures with both great styles and different attacks. Once the obstacles are fixed I believe that this game will receive a lot of better ratings from old-time players and new ones.

★★★★★ a valid crashout from an og #J9JUU2RY

BB is buns my troops would rather walk three miles away to the nearest army camp than attack the wall in front of them. i spent all that time before the rework upgrading my troops to max level just for my barbs to get one shot by the TWO lava based defenses. barbs are obsolete and archers would be too if they didnt have to sneak ability which doesn’t matter they destroy one building before they get one shot by multi mortar now your just left with air troop spam. LITTLE incentive to level up or climb the ranks other than loot which would be cool if you could upgrade more than one building at a time without going bankrupt but dont worry you can attack ten more times and get less than 100,000 elixir!! only play builder base for clan games and before the rework i was in the top league and almost maxed out. when you actually felt rewarded for your work instead now you can play all day! and still feel the same as when you loaded up the game but keep catering the game to the mindless troop spamming cry babies who wanted the rework in the first place. lvl 30 builder hero cant one shot the things that come out of BB when destroyed? forget about old troops! keep making new OP ones guys lets see how little effort we can make it. this game used to be so based.

★★★★★ This is about clan leagues

So i dont wanna give this 1 star just because im mad, because its a great game and even the leagues still work well. The problem is how there is not a very clear explanation of starting one. So im the leader of a clan, and i have a couple cos who were in the last league, and they saw you could change the members before a war at any time. Let me just say that starting league looks very similar to starting a normal war, so when one of my cos saw the menu of who to add to league, they thought it had to be either 15 or 30 depending on the league type they chose. Because normal wars you cant have any extras it has to be exact. It also tells you how many people youve selected at the bottom. So they selected a random 15 just to get league started thinking that they could just change it later. But now theyve started league with a random 15 players and we have no way of canceling or changing people out, even though preparation day for the first war barley started. Now 60% of my clan cant participate in league and we cant do anything about it. I would just like to see this changed in a future update. Like if you can change the members at anytime before a war, why would they make it so you are limited to those you selected before hand. It would make more sense just to let you change out the participants with anyone in the clan.
