Fair warning, first my experience. Ive been playing this game since almost the beginning, 5 years. The game is really fun and can be stressful, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU PUT DOWN A CARD TO PERFECTLY DEFEND AND ANOTHER ONE TO ATTACK AT THE BEST MOMENT AND THE GAME STARTS TO LAG YET SOMEHOW ONLY ON MY END AND WHEN I GET CONNECTION BACK IM TOTALLY DEVASTATED. It has alot of customization options and a fun ladder of progression with the area system. Until these last 2 months of picking up the game again I have not made a single purchase. And that worked out fine. Like I said ive been with it since almost the beginning picking it back up and leaving it again throughout the years. So I can 100% say, being in a higher arena, is almost impossible without years of grinding and thats what makes it fun. Now the bad, After reading several 1 star reviews, it is believable that the game is pay to win (right now). With a lack of players in the lower level, (i think there might be) the only way the game is thrilling and exciting is in the top ladder matches against other high skill high level cards. And believe me its fun, however If you get this and find out its pay to win and you have no friend group to send the game to and play with. The game will not be fun for a long long time until you start getting to the higher arenas with higher level cards.

I liked the game back in 2018 but now it's garbage. Why may you ask why? The main reason is because match making is broken. Imagine fighting a higher level then you are with 300+ more HP, and DMG. Doesn't seem fair at all and it needs to be fix! It needs to be where you can only fight with your level. Essentially how the game works is that the amount of time and effort you take in playing this game comes out as your level. More time more Xp, is how the game works if you play it normally. So a level 12 shouldn't up with a level 13 because the xp difference between 12 and 13 is significant. I don't remember but it's expensive get to level 13. I want to even dare say that no one has a maxed account without any money being spent. It's how difficult the game really is. However I do love the graphics, there crispy and animated well. Also this barely takes much space and for me not much cellular data is being used. I love draft mode because it's random and makes things actually skilled based. Some modes are good some are meh but most of them are fun for awhile. I recommend playing for a year or two before you get tired of playing it. It seems fun at first but once you it your end point where you can't gain much trophies anymore it kinda get pointless. I don't like how you get into another challenger and feel like nothing has happened. It seems good at first but once you reach that point it gets boring.

So I was delving through the App Store one day and all was well until I stumbled into a game. It was called Boom Arena. Me, being the person I am, decided to tap on it to see what this game was, just for the kicks and giggles. As soon as I saw the pictures of gameplay, I saw a stark resemblance. Basically, this game is a blatant rip-off of Clash Royale in every way possible. Same map design, same character style, even *possibly* stolen assets from Clash Royale. And needless to say, it was a dumpster fire. And of course, me being me again, I have the instinct to check the ratings on any game that is visibly garbage. And to my surprise- *dramatic pause* -there were ratings that were quite literally copy and paste over again THREE TIMES! THREE! TIMES! SAME RATING! Not to mention other blatantly fake / AI ratings. No, a bootleg Clash Royale money grab will NOT cure your addiction to smoking (yes I’m not joking, they literally said that). They even call themselves, “Clash The Royale Team!” This is ridiculous! They IMPERSONATED you guys! Honestly, you should probably check it out, and Apple, if you see this, you should probably do something. They are using fake accounts to get themselves higher ratings, and impersonating the clash royale team. To the genuine team, keep up the good work! Your game is great and I enjoy it a lot!
