It feels unfamiliar now. Please change it back or give us the option to select different themes. It would also be cool to get a 1v1 stats comparison after battles rather than just your own mvp stats ### 4/5 — Nerf laser man! *2026-09-03, version 1.17.0* This game is super fun, but this is the one unit I just can't do anything about except hope I'm lucky enough that he isn't used much. It feels like a slap to the face that most of my losses are caused by a unit that is paid for. ### 2/5 — It’s meh *2026-09-03, version 1.17.0* The fact you need to buy certain troops to be competitive is BS, but that how every game is. Other than that it’s a fun way to waste time ### 2/5 — New update is absolutely horrible!!!! *2026-09-03, version 1.17.0* Everything was great until the new update changed the way the characters look now they look absolutely hideous. 🤦🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♂️🥴 ### 4/5 — Really fun *2026-09-03, version 1.16.1* It’s actually a really good little game. Unfortunately it’s another one that’ll cost you a fortune if you want to remove ads, also, anyone saying it’s not “pay to win” is absolutely lying to themselves. It 100% is ### 2/5 — Cheating *2026-09-03, version 1.16.1* Well, it is a silly thing but which make me angry. Many times when we supposed to receive a reward it doesn’t count, twice this happened which I saw the coins didn’t sum up I had 1100.00 coins supposed get more 2350 coins but it didn’t added to my coins so I didn’t get the coins. And another one was the gems I had 110 gems I supposed get more 25 gems but happens the same think I didn’t get it. This game cheating some times. ### 2/5 — Game needs to get fixed *2026-09-03, version 1.16.1* This game sucks for your phone it makes it hot and will randomly shut the game down after 1 or 2 matches mind you I have a new iPhone so the game needs fixing. ### 3/5 — Keeps crashing *2026-09-02, version 1.16.1* Great game but is now impossible to play can’t even finish a match before it crashes and throws me out so frustrating so I load up again and does exactly the same thing completely unplayable ### 4/5 — New update sux *2026-09-02, version 1.16.1* Good game overall, but after the new update it sometimes freezes and crashes. Please fix it! ### 4/5 — Good Game but Keeps Crashing *2026-09-02, version 1.16.1* This is one of the best games I’ve played in a while, simple yet very entertaining. But ever since the recent update, the game makes my phone overheat after a couple of rounds and then randomly shuts the game off. This is very annoying as it counts as a loss in the match up, it really hinders on your stats. Game flowed easier before the update… please fix this asap ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes *2026-09-03, version 1.17.0* Even after an update it still crashed just before the win, bloody infuriating, has crashed at the critical moment at least a dozen times before and after the update ### 1/5 — Screen cut out *2026-09-03, version 1.17.0* For some reason the screen cuts out halfway through a game, which is really frustrating. I tried reinstalling the app. I tried resetting my phone. This still happens. I hope that this new update fixes this! ### 1/5 — It’s not a PVP you just battle AI *2026-09-03, version 1.17.0* The title says it all ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2026-09-03, version 1.17.0* How are they allowed to still make this game available? This was the best game ever,,,,,then it started crashing occasionally, NOW IT CRASHES EVERY SINGLE GAME 😡😡😡😡 SORT IT OUT OR TAKE IT DOWN!!! ### 1/5 — Great game…. But *2026-09-03, version 1.16.1* Great game, really like it, but £9.99 for only 7 days of no ads is an absolute joke. ### 1/5 — Good game but crashes *2026-09-03, version 1.16.1* Game ran fine. with the new update it just keeps crashing non stop don’t download untill it’s fixed ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-09-02, version 1.16.1* Absolutely loved this game until its recent update… Now - if your an IOS player - it crashes EVERY GAME. You might be half way through a battle, about to win or if you’re extra lucky, even finish a fight. But it will crash every single time, 100% guaranteed!! Go read the fb groups, ppl are fuming. Developer either doesnt care or is hopefully working on a patch but isn’t telling its fan base. Which sucks. Best theory out there - iOS can’t handle the new update like android, as it controls memory differently & crashes out. Really hope they fix this. It’s been weeks. ### 1/5 — Amazing *2026-09-02, version 1.16.1* Crashes constantly so unplayable ### 1/5 — Crashes out *2026-09-02, version 1.16.1* Ever since the update it crashes all the time now IGN PokherGr8 ### 1/5 — Update *2026-09-02, version 1.16.1* New update just ruined it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — best *2026-09-03, version 1.17.0* best✌🏻 ### 5/5 — Fun game! New character design is very disappointing. *2026-09-03, version 1.17.0* Have had a lot of fun with the game, but recently I logged in a and I can’t recognize any of the characters. They looked cool before, now they look like little cartoons. I really don’t like what they’ve done with it. ### 5/5 — Matchmaking *2026-09-03, version 1.17.0* Ayo i love this freaking game! But the matchmaking is horrendous. Skill v skill there is a HUGE GAP. im constantly playing “up” and its ridiculous. Ive got 2500 trophies and versing players at 2700+ even went toe to toe with a 3100. I dont know if its because im winning (barely) so the game bumps me into the big leagues but im really not enjoying the matchmaking. Opponents characters are level 30+ when im at level 25-28. I understand there may be a paying element to the levels but its unfair to always go against absolute titans every game. Other than that, the update is great, the character re-vamps are cool. Oh and also maybe an explanation into how to gain the “tokens” (what im calling them) for the rankings? Im grinding my way to a measly 24 thingys ranked 8th and the top 5 players are on like 40-50? How am i supposed to know how to catch up quicker? Theres no info. *UPDATED REVIEW INCOMING* okay so i still love this game! after reading reviews and experiencing plenty of gameplay, I will say that “pay to win” is present BUT should not be a deterrent to players! yes there are ads but only to reset the “battle chests”. ads arent popping up every 5 seconds like all the other games, which i appreciate! There is an imbalance with premium characters but thats just why theyre “premium”. A player with a level 50 team can easily take down “MR CASH MONEY CASTLE”with the correct strategy. I’m hooked! Its such a fantastic game. No bugs to report. Im using iphone 16 pro max. Everything runs smooth, does chew battery tho. ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-09-03, version 1.17.0* Good game wish it had more landscapes and plays like the adverts for the game also the building doesn’t get any stronger the more you advance it and the castle doesn’t seem to be any stronger the more you upgrade it ### 5/5 — Addictive *2026-09-03, version 1.17.0* Addictive , fun and fast. You won’t be able to stop smashing everyone’s castle.😈 ### 5/5 — Performance *2026-09-03, version 1.17.0* Game kicks me out after playing a match, but overall is fantastic ### 5/5 — Animal update?!?! *2026-09-03, version 1.17.0* The game is great, but I liked it when it was a little soldiers not anime players or furry… Not a great update visually … ### 5/5 — Lost my wife *2026-09-02, version 1.16.1* Great game but lost my marriage over it due to not putting game down. Oh well….there’s always another one!! ### 5/5 — Booted out of a game. *2026-09-02, version 1.16.1* This is the 3rd time in a week I’ve been booted out of a game pretty much had it won! Killed my kill streak of 103 and not sure on last two times, sort it please. ### 5/5 — Current version is terrible *2026-09-01, version 1.16.1* This is my favourite game! Very addictive. But, I have lost several games because the game suddenly shuts down. The main issue is the recent version update. I miss the old character too. Way better than the upgraded ones. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
