4 stars: Been playing this game for ages. Great game, very balanced (at least in my opinion). The game is quite a grind, the defenses and troops end up costing ridiculous amounts of resources to upgrade in the later parts of the game. But it's probably designed that way. Overall, it's more of a daily login type deal, and doing a couple raids on enemy bases.
5 stars: Needs things to finish faster also once a base layout is made or changed it should not have a cooldown. But it is a great and fun game no doubt. Very fun to see my base grow. But one thing i hated was i lost three accounts in this game due to a glitch, two of which i spent money on to gain back my progress to where i was before. I got one back but still a very annoying glitch 😪
4 stars: As a 7 year player, the game has evolved alot. Mostly in good ways the are beneficial to the player. I.e. way lower training times, costs (all around), and you have the builder base to work with now! If you want strategy, this is a good game for it. It's not just cartoon characters running everywhere. What you place, where you place it, and when, are all huge factors in whether or not you beat your opponent.
5 stars: Don't believe the hype: this is definitely not pay to win. I haven't spent a dime on the game and I feel like progression is fair. Gems, the bought currency, can be found through numerous means in game so you never have to spend money on it. I found a clan, friends. Overall a good time. Just check the app ...
