It is AWESOME. But you can also get involved and inve$t your life playing it. ### 2/5 — Lagging *2026-08-15, version 2.2.81* I hate games that lag it really makes me mad this game does it every week ### 1/5 — Старые проблемы *2026-06-17, version 2.2.79* Я не играл в эту игру лет 5. Недавно восстановил аккаунт и увидел, что игра только глубже закопалась в своих проблемах. Они создают новых героев, они получаются невероятно сильными. Потом они создают ещё, которые ещё сильнее. В итоге старые герои становятся полными ничтожествами. А ведь именно старые герои больше прокачены. Да и проблема, когда 10 из 10 боев ты бьешь вторым тоже никуда не делась. ### 1/5 — Unfortunate *2026-06-12, version 2.2.79* I’ve been playing this game since the beginning and I’ve dropped about $3,000 on it. I don’t mind that at all. I knew what I was getting into. The problem is the characters got stronger and stronger so they buff other characters to keep up. What they didn’t do is bump up al the characters health so it went from a skilled game where you see all the same people on top to a luck fest. The biggest problem is the one that’s been going on for a year. There’s a very simple way to cheat called “boosting”. We’ve offered many simple solutions over the past year to fix the problem like “clan memebers can’t fight each other”. SIMPLE! Not only do they not address this but they don’t even mention it. I’m done with this game. Too bad because for the first year it was amazing!! Edit: came back after a year or two. Power creep is still a problem. There’s still balancing issues. I get that it’s difficult but listen to the community a bit! This review was up for how long with no response? It’s too bad ### 1/5 — Matching *2026-06-12* Us started game and still in arena 1, opponent has the same or similar trophy as mine but their units got much higher level and their units are u obtainable in my arena. I can’t win against people with higher level and rarer card. But every match opponent has epic or rare while I carry a single rare that ain’t even good compare to all the opponents I met. **Developer response:** It's clear that the matching system has been a challenge for you, especially when facing opponents with significantly stronger units. We appreciate your insights on this matter, as they help us understand the balance in gameplay. Your experience is important to us, and we hope you find opportunities to enjoy the game despite these hurdles. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! ### 1/5 — Ruined a great game *2026-05-27, version 2.2.77* These people screwed up a perfectly good game with their greedy tactics. 2 minute ads are ridiculous!!!! They just repeat over and over for two minutes!!!! I stopped paying money and let them Know what I was feeling and all I got was canned ai responses. No real person, no real concern, no respect for years of loyalty!!!! So many OGs have quit and they do not care!!!! Stay away from this game and anything by this developer!!!! ### 1/5 — Match making terrible *2026-05-21, version 2.2.77* You always fight teams with higher ranked players because the matchmaking is aweful. Also, way too long to collect enough upgrade points. ### 1/5 — Block button Asap *2026-05-15, version 2.2.77* This game needs a block button. Way too many times you will come across people who kill off your event hero’s the first or second turn and just spam laugh emojis. Until this feature is added I will remain at a one star. This is unnecessary and unacceptable. ### 1/5 — Intentionally hostile matchmaking *2026-05-14, version 2.2.77* Whenever you form any sized win streak you are paired up against people who completely out level you. I get it, most of the time in most games that is sensible to slow your roll. But in this game, when your cards are 1-2 levels behind, it means you’re seriously likely to lose. The game walls you off and I’m assuming it’s so you continue purchasing things from them. ### 4/5 — Come in. *2026-04-20, version 2.2.75* The length of your ads to “ hurry up” unlocks has gotten ludicrously long. Totally unnecessary ### 3/5 — Hope Developers Read this *2026-04-10, version 2.2.74* its a great game but the amount of glitches is not normal 1. imbalanced match making you are being put against players with 5 even 10 levels higher 2. if theother player shuts down the game you get a countdown that is stuck on 1 that force you to quit and get the loss especially frustrating if you have a winning streak that is broken by this 3. games pronounced you as loss in the middle of the turn ive lost so many throphies due to this that sometimes i dont even want to start a new battle ### 1/5 — Gmail *2026-04-06, version 2.2.74* Gamil Add System Where…? ### 1/5 — GreedVsGaming *2026-04-04, version 2.2.74* Just like any other greedy game, ranking system is trash so you’ll buy and spend more. The resources are minimal, almost embarrassing to play this game. The content itself is amazing, but like always greed will ruin a good thing. ### 1/5 — Horrível *2026-03-25* Não gostei ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-03-20, version 2.2.73* UPDATE: BEWARE OF SCAM. YOU PAY FOR HERO EVENT AND GET NOTHING. DEVELOPERS KNOW IT AND WON’T FIX IT. SCAMMERS!!!!! Poor app performance is only surpassed by the awful support. Too bad really because it’s a decent game. Update - they are even worse than before. Run away from this game. Don’t download. Surprise surprise. Updated app. Full of bugs. Zero support. Developers should be embarrassed. 7 year old code ninjas would be better. ### 3/5 — Antes era bem melhor *2026-03-13* Antes o jogo era melhor ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-08-21, version 2.2.81* Stop showing false ads on other games .. so lame and refund my money immediately ### 1/5 — No support from tech team *2026-08-10, version 2.2.81* There is a way to reclaim old account but the tech team does not answer me or help at all. Why is there a feature available of there is no customer service to assist ? Almost a month and no answer, Tarik is just MIA ### 1/5 — Full of bugs *2026-08-05, version 2.2.81* Never played a game that is so full of bugs. Reported many times but no response from developers. ### 1/5 — No support from tech team *2026-08-04, version 2.2.81* There is a way to reclaim old account but the tech team does not answer me or help at all. Why is there a feature available of there is no customer service to assist ? ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-07-23, version 2.2.80* It doesn’t work open the game kicks me out. never works settings, checked it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Bugs and customer service *2026-07-13, version 2.2.79* I’ve been playing this game for years, on July 4th I finally purchased their season pass, the game glitched out as soon as I did and I lost it. I contacted customer support when it happened and they got back with me the following Monday. They asked for the receipt, I provided said receipt and now I haven’t heard anything g from them over a week later. Horrible customer support. ### 1/5 — Pay to win. *2026-07-13, version 2.2.79* If you thought clash Royale was pay to win don’t even consider downloading this. ### 1/5 — Another pay to win manipulated scam *2026-06-27, version 2.2.79* A complete scam! Avoid this trash ### 1/5 — Ads are too long! *2026-06-26, version 2.2.79* Ads are getting way too long and it’s ruining the game unfortunately. ### 1/5 — Touch fail *2026-06-22, version 2.2.79* How many times do I need to say it! The touch fail on right down part when you play this game! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-08-24, version 2.2.81* Top notch game ### 5/5 — Aliens better! *2026-08-05, version 2.2.81* Aliens has improved the game quite a bit. We need a lvl 27 zone to do the hero event without lowering trophies please. Also clan wars would be amazing! Take care ### 5/5 — Pros e Contras *2026-06-09* Jogo viciante e sem propaganda graças a Deus, mas você só consegue avançar para as arenas mais altas com um deck de level alto caso contrário você trava **Developer response:** Agradecemos muito por compartilhar suas impressões! É ótimo saber que você está se divertindo com a jogabilidade sem anúncios. É compreensível que o progresso nas arenas possa exigir um deck mais forte. Valorizamos seu feedback, pois ele nos ajuda a entender melhor a experiência dos jogadores! ### 5/5 — iPad 5 geração *2026-04-17* Não funciona mais 11/fev/2026 Continua sem funcionar 17/abr ### 5/5 — Love smashing *2026-03-09, version 2.2.72* Fun game ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-02-28, version 2.2.70* Hey awesome game been playing for yrs.
