### 4/5 — 50% luck 50% skill

*2026-09-05*

Game could be the next clash royale, but playing against players with higher cards is annoying. Strategy means nothing if your opponent is able to keep doubling and upgrading their cards while you’re stuck with only adding troops when doubling would help so much. How would i fix this? I believe that when you give a player the chance to double a card, their opponent should have the option to double their troops on the same turn, its too overpowered for it to only go to one player. Secondly the upgrading troops should be the same as that. Its impossible to win if you get bad luck. Also i’d like to add that the shuffle of troops is terrible, if im getting pressured with assassins against me, and im not getting the option to play engineers which counters them, i feel like uninstalling the game would be the best option. I believe that if you play a troop, you shouldnt be able to play that troop on your next turn. Both of those changes ive suggested would make the game a lot more competitive and enjoyable, if your game is all luck, you wont be able to grow as a game, as your best players would get sick of not being able to use skill against the luck of the draw.
Secondly i feel like you should be able to add friends, multiplayer games where you can face off against friends are the best games

### 4/5 — 神ゲーになれる

*2026-09-04*

1週間ほど無課金でプレイしていますが、初めの数日はキャラも揃わずレベルも上がらず苦労しました。ですがゲームの仕様上、プレイすればするほど強くなれるしキャラもゲットできるため気になることは少ないと思います。このゲームは運も絡むこともありますがそれ以前にキャラ構成でほぼ勝敗は決まっている感じで、レベル差もある程度覆せるくらいには構成ゲーです。その構成を見つけ、勝率を上げるために試行錯誤するのがとても面白いです。
ただ本当に一つ追加して欲しい要素は特定の相手とのpvp機能です。フレンド機能などを追加して家族や友達と楽しめるようになると、完璧な神ゲーになるでしょう。

### 3/5 — Gut aber Standard

*2026-09-04*

Ist ein nices offline Game aber es ist sehr normal und im Endeffekt das gleiche wie alle offline Games 

Sie werden nach kurzer Zeit sehr langweilig wegen den wenigen Features

### 5/5 — Minha opinião

*2026-09-02*

O jogo é um ótimo passa tempo fácil de aprender e jogar, e a mesma coisa que aparece na propaganda uma coisa rara hj em dia

### 5/5 — Draft Showdown

*2026-09-02, version 1.14.1*

Pure addiction
Although it could use more Emotes, Cosmetics (maybe), hopefully new arena soon, and possibly make a clan and clan battle some way or another. That would be cool. Friends list.. Events.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-09-02, version 1.14.1*

How can it be a Clash Royale rip-off and also be so good? Amazing game it isn’t just a rip off tho it has it’s kind of a different style that Clash Royale, 100% would recommend.

### 5/5 — Very Addicting

### 3/5 — Bug

*2026-09-01*

J’adore vraiment ce jeu. Genre je jouerais h24. Par contre, a partir de l’arène 2, je ne débloque plus de nouveaux combattants. J’ai essayer de désinstaller, de tout recommencer. Pour finalement être obligé de payer des packs parfois a 24.99 pour pouvoir avoir des meilleurs personnages…. Et sur ce je suis a l’arene 4 et je n’ai sois disant pas encore débloquer le splime… je continue de jouer. Mais payer autant pour des choses qui normalement sont incluses dans le jeuz sont assez décevante

### 4/5 — Fun

*2026-09-01, version 1.14.1*

Good game…….

### 5/5 — Love it ig idk

*2026-09-01, version 1.14.1*

Idk I love it
:3

### 5/5 — Cooler erster Eindruck

*2026-09-01*

Hatte das Spiel in einer Werbung gesehen. Hab’s mal schnell ausprobiert und es war genau wie in der Werbung. Im Laufe des Spiels schaltet man auch neue Einheiten frei.

Mal sehen ob sich der erste Eindruck bestätigt, bis jetzt echt cool!

### 5/5 — Bored ?

*2026-09-01, version 1.14.1*

Got me locked in the shower for 30 minutes as I didn’t expect it to be so fast paced and rewarding !!

### 1/5 — 질거 같으면 게임 멈춰두고 상대 항복하게 하는 악질들

*2026-09-06*

질거 같으면 게임을 안해서 무한 대기 시켜버리네요 게임이 멈춰 버리고 카운트 다운도 없어서 그냥 다 이긴게임 억지로 항복 해서 져야 나가집니다

### 1/5 — Jogo abusivo

*2026-09-06*

Até a arena 5 é perfeito, assim que chega lá você não ganha mais, só derrota, fica entregando cartas de multiplicação para o oponente e nada para agente, tudo isso para vc ficar assistindo anuncio todo dia e tentar subir, sem falar daquelas “ofertas”, que não passam perto de ofertas, jogo nenhum pouco popular com preços abusivos, valor do passe de 120 reais kkk

### 1/5 — Desequilibrado

*2026-09-05*

O jogo é bom, fácil e divertido mas tem uma coisa que percebi, por vezes o jogo te coloca contra Player ou Bot com cartas muito mais fortes, tornando a passagem de arenas muito mais complicadas.

### 1/5 — Atrocious App.

*2026-09-05*

‘Draft Showdown’ is initially fun. However, ‘units’ (fighters) are gained via reward packs, and you unlock the ability to gain new units from said packs after advancing to their respective arenas.

But reward packs are sparse and unlocking a new unit is not guaranteed; this means (as happened to me) you can be stuck using only the initial basic units while opponents are using far more advanced units, making winning impossible (further limiting the chance of getting reward packs). There’s no way to overcome this problem other than spending money.

A fun game in concept, but very poorly designed.

### 1/5 — 運要素強すぎゲームバランス悪すぎ

*2026-09-02*

ポイ活目的。無課金でやるには地獄のように苦痛。
対戦相手のレベル設定がおかしいし×2や強化カードも相手の方に多めに出るの不公平過ぎる。
バトル中盤でもう負けるの確定してる時はアプリ強制終了してやり直した方が時間の節約になります。
何時間もプレイして、もう少しでステージクリア出来ると思ったら急に相手が強くなって相性悪い敵ばかり出てくる。
しかも自陣は弱いカードしか出ない。不自然なほど連敗して苦労して貯めたトロフィーも０まで戻される。
2時間ずっと対戦して一回も勝てないってふざけてんの？？
レベル上がるのも遅すぎるしこれなら広告もっと増やしてレベル上げに必要な報酬貰えるようにした方がマシ。
こんな具合悪くなる程ストレス溜るゲーム初めてです。
課金する気無い人は絶対やらない方が良い。
3日でアンストしました。

### 1/5 — Rigged, AI game, and a waste of your money (unless you have it)

*2026-09-02, version 1.14.1*

I don’t understand how I can start this app, do really well, and then have 5-7 matches after I’ve played for a few hours where I get completely curb stomped, and there doesn’t seem to be much of a difference between me and the other players, besides maybe a few upgrades that have made their units have way more health than mine. 

I assume this is like other games from this company, and I understand that you need money to continue development, but there has to be a better matching system than to put someone who’s just a few hours new in this game, against another person that’s been playing for a few days, and ruin my win streak. If I want to play, let me play your damn game, don’t put in an artificial timer that keeps me from progressing.

EDIT: I will not change the review for this game. You will not progress unless you spend money on the game. The game WILL FORCE YOU TO LOSE, no matter if your units are stronger than the other ones, play a bit and you’ll see what I mean. 

The other issue I have is that the game will let your opponent build a friggin army across from you, will your choices remain slim to none. I personally watched an opponent get a x2 on the same unit back to back, or a x2 on one unit, and their next choice the same.

### 1/5 — Pay to win

*2026-09-01, version 1.14.1*

Game is rigged

### 1/5 — 온라인 아닌 거 알지만 너무 하네 진짜

*2026-09-01*

온라인 아니고 그냥 AI랑 붙게 하는 시스템인 건 아는데 레벨 올라갈 수록 너무 높은 상대랑 붙게 하고 상대만 두 배 늘리거나 진화시키는 좋은 패 나오게 하는 게 너무 뻔히 보여서 게임 삭제했습니다. 현질도 하고 팩도 다 모았는데도 절반은 지게 하니까 게임 할 의지를 꺾게 만드네요.

### 1/5 — This game is a joke

*2026-09-01, version 1.14.1*

Do not waste your time or money on this POS! Game, you are not playing real people EVER, just bots, and when this game wants you to lose YOU WILL! You will watch your opponent get X2’s and upgrades EVERY round, and you might get 1 or 2 the whole battle, possibly the worst game on the App Store

### 1/5 — fighting ai

*2026-08-31, version 1.14.1*

boring game fighting ai pretending to be human. game crashes during match phase without an opponent andcount you as loss.

### 5/5 — 아레나, 랭크 티어 늘려주세요

*2026-09-06*

재밌습니다 간단하면서도 다양해서 좋습니다 15렙 도배된 AI들도 12렙 정도면 타개할만 합니다 아레나와 랭크 티어는 꾸준히 늘려주세요 그리고 친선전 기능도 만들어주시면 좋을것 같습니다 신캐들도 꾸준히 나온다면 계속 잘될 게임일듯 합니다

### 5/5 — Jeu très intéressant

*2026-09-05*

Plaisir et stratégie  à l’honneur pour vaincre l’ennemi venez jouer c’est l’adopter.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2026-09-05*

This game is very simple and very cute there should be an emote that says over powered(O.P.) me and my boyfriend love this game and its so much fun if you are bored and have free time id really recommend! P.S. PLEASE make a multiplayer/private match mode other than that SUPER FUN!

### 5/5 — sahur ohhh

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-09-04*

I AM NOT A BOT. This game is actually good and plays as is shown in the add. Quite fun!

### 5/5 — And now?

*2026-09-04*

Je joue depuis 3 semaines, j’ai debloqué tout les persos, tout les skills, je suis au max de l’arène 17 et je suis gold 1 en classé.. il ne me reste plus rien a faire, a quand la prochaine mise a jour? Le jeu serais mieux avec une liste d’amis et un système d’invitation de duel entre amis outre ça il est excellent.

### 5/5 — Actually fun

*2026-09-03*

Keeps things fun and creative. Thoroughly enjoyed

### 5/5 — Too good

*2026-09-03*

Genuinely this game is so addicting it’s becoming a problem for me

### 5/5 — 실력1 현질5 운4 게임

*2026-09-03*

현질 안하면 무조건 패배 승패는 실력이 아니라 게임에서 결정합니다. 운이 가장 중요해요. 실력 ㅈ도 없어도 됩니다. 그냥 현질과 운이 좋아야합니다.
