My highest building is lvl 6 but the enemies building start out at lvl 8 and spawn way faster. Kind of unenjoyable doing a daily puzzle when it has a 90-95% chance u will lose. Also the idle coins is cool but maybe an extended period other than an hour would be nice. Needs some serious balancing work though. For example my highest level buildings are level 6 but for the daily PvP it automatically starts the enemies out at lvl 9 and I have tried multiple times to do the daily. ### 5/5 — Underrated *2026-05-11* I quit clash Royale to play this months ago ### 3/5 — Great mobile rts poor balance *2026-04-02* I just want a flipping phone game that is fun and relaxing to play. I’m almost 300 levels in and now I can’t win a single match despite trying 20+ different builds. Stop scaling up AI opponents with extra buildings and resources. It sucks. Remove time limits on fog of war. They suck. Make auto chess a standard mode. Hoping for better balance in future updates. ### 1/5 — Unfortunate *2026-03-22* The design is poor. This isn’t a game of tactics in an equal battle or with a reasonable disadvantage that the player has to over come. The more games you win, the more difficult the “AI” is, but not because it plays better, but rather it doesn’t follow any of the rules the player has to follow. The AI gets to build buildings or cast abilities without meeting any cost requirement and the more games you win, the more it can produce, faster. You have to wait to build something, but the AI can build 4 buildings during that time, cause it’s not actually using the currency needed to build things. It gets to the point that the only way to combat this is to spend real $$ to get cards to upgrade your units to compete with the AI’s ability to just make better units faster. ### 5/5 — So so so good *2026-03-13* Most addicting battle game I’ve played in years! ### 2/5 — Great, but then suddenly too hard *2026-03-08, version 4.30.25* You haven’t got the mechanics quite right with the difficultly. It’s incredibly easy until about level 20, and then insanely hard / impossible until to grind chest for hours and hours. There’s no incentive to keep playing. So i uninstalled. Shame, because I was enjoying it’s simplicity until then. ### 5/5 — great!! *2026-03-06* this game is fantastic, i have been playing it nonstop for a couple days now and ive really enjoyed it! if i could say one thing, is i wish there was a way to do real-time pvp or fight against friends. ### 5/5 — Sleeper Hit of the Year *2026-03-02* Easily one of the best games on the market. Off the radar, underground, call it what you will- but definitely call it an excellent game. This is the small studio quality you don’t find with the money grab big sponsored titles out there. I play too many phone games and often delete after a month or two, this has my #1 attention for several months on end and likely many more. ### 2/5 — AI always has advantage. stupid *2026-02-21, version 4.30.25* fun game overall, not difficult, units are fairly balanced, games can be fun unless you have to cycle all your cards for a wood chopper at beginning, thats a GG statement. I ABSOLUTELY despise that the AI is given advantage, they dont have zones where they cant place units heroes, or buildings, they can place them anywhere which is a horrible design choice, given that some heroes are really strong and can deal some seriously destructive damage to a base. especially when spawned behind it. like why? why is this okay? i only play the solo mode and pvp, mostly solo mode. i all the other modes are unrewarding. the challenged you have to beat 10 levels before your given anything. everytime. why? again terrible. and this alone will make me never touch it. just giving stars for chests would be better than nothing. ai also has bonus health and bonus damage, again. why? why am i working so hard to get my cards upgraded for them to be so weak? my level 6 skeleton needs to hit enemy lvl 3 skeleton twice to kill it. but the level 3 only needs to hit level 6 once. thats a terrible design choice when your main objective of the game is to have more units than the enemy. why are you so against the player? overall fun game, unfortunately stupid ai with advantage, it wouldnt surprise me if they also get more elixir than player like a 1.3 draw rate compared to us having a 1.0 draw rate. the fun doesnt die out completely but most of the game modes are not worth touching, still holding hope this game can maintain its fun for the love of god please fix your fog of war game mode. i have never played something so un finished before in my life. ai stops attacking when they were just attacking because my building is destoryed near edge of visible zone now everything is unvisible. so ai just stand there and take damage and then close in on base. how is that fair! how is that fun?! your events suck you give ai all the advantages. my review continues to droop as this game continues to become more and more visibly and physically poor ### 3/5 — AI always has advantage. stupid *2026-02-12* fun game overall, not difficult, units are fairly balanced, games can be fun unless you have to cycle all your cards for a wood chopper at beginning, thats a GG statement.
