★★★★ Nikhil Back 5/8/2026
i am disappointed by this game. in tactics mode they provide a character which is overpowered it means who don't have money they have no meaning to play because how hard you try it will push you out of office the game and this don't encourage me to play any further. every unbalanced program and design. The app owner is reading this so please don't be biased.
★★★★ 3SIX 5/8/2026 v140593015
pay to win game
★★★★ Zakery Foard 5/8/2026 v140593015
Top 10 games you should NEVER play. The fun casual mode is nothing but bots, and the trophy road is full of nothing but overleved cards and less than human creatures. That and the never ending in app purchases make this game a cess pool of trash. This is extremely sad, because in a vaccum, the gameplay WOULD be top 10! Quite possibly one of the biggest examples of wasted potential on the internet; up there with everything Rovio did.
★★★★ Premkant Mani 5/8/2026
Don’t download the game Clash Royale. It’s a total money-draining game. I know every game needs money to survive, but this game is built in a completely different way. Whenever you try to make even a little progress, it immediately asks for money. After every update, they start demanding more money. And the matchmaking is terrible. At least they could make the matchmaking fair, even if progression is hard.
★★★★ Shane Phillips 5/8/2026 v140593015
the game is awful
★★★★ Jawahar-red Nehru 5/8/2026 v140593015
Hey, I have been playing this game for years and recently I am noticing a delay/lag in deployment of cards which is SUPER annoying. what's going on?
★★★★ YASSINE GAMER 5/8/2026 v140593015
well a pay to win game .
★★★★ Don't Worry about it 5/8/2026 v140593015
genuinely fire the balancing team istg
★★★★ Aswin Hari 5/8/2026 v140593009
unfair matching and p2w game
★★★★ Alecsander Figueroa 5/8/2026 v140593015
slows down your elixir and your drop time so you can lose
★★★★ Elijah 5/8/2026 v120169018
it's a very pay to win game once you get to the higher arenas it's just not worth your time or money.
★★★★ im MIJOHN 5/8/2026 v140593015
match making really suck!
★★★★ devin 5/8/2026 v140593015
ahhh game
★★★★ ris atur 5/8/2026 v140593015
I always meet enemy with 2 level above my level? is it fair? this game is broke and i don't understand to people who has give 4 or 5 stars for this game, i think YOU ARE SCAMMER.
★★★★ Rob G 5/8/2026 v140593015
Forced loses in "ranked" "competitive". 100% fully countered unable to cross the halfway point, zero chance unless they throw. boring predictable all algorithms. the newest mode is worse, 50 games all the same way 1st place only person to get a team of 3 stars or more, 2nd gets early 2 stars but nothing else, 3rd gets no 2 stars , and 4th doesn't even get enough points for a full team and out by round4. only mode worth playing cause cause 2nd gets counted as a win. plus non stop toxic emotes
★★★★ Gerard wood 5/8/2026
The worst game ever made pay to win and Crazy unbalanced. update its been god knows how many years since I've played this and gave it a try, and it still stands this is most definitely one of the worse games I've ever played
★★★★ Konishe 5/8/2026 v140593015
Why did the game give me cards when I got an Evo that I already have instead of giving me the shards for easier Evo collecting DISGUSTING system
★★★★ Cole Alexson 5/8/2026 v130300016
Terrible game development over the past year. Uninstalled this game and over the 10 year period it was good until it lasted.
★★★★ Bills Kills 5/7/2026
all game is just like pay to win and the opponent cards are higher level make it equal gameplay
★★★★ Mahmoud 5/7/2026 v130300016
add Evo hog rider
★★★★ EnDCrafT72 5/7/2026 v40088004
I was playing it for seven years this game sucks now it is like dopamine addictive game, thank God I'm not face glued to phone, everything is p2w nothing is affordable mostly cards are ranked the fun game of this game is dogwater
★★★★ Zoey Chavez 5/7/2026 v140593015
Trash matches, they match you with all your counters over and over.
★★★★ M JM 5/7/2026
it's not even a fun game when your opponent is pay to win and drops a level 16 mega Knight on your entire game(mega Knight is the best most stupidly overpowered card)
★★★★ VEDANT GANDHI 5/7/2026 v140593015
not fair troop distribution
★★★★ IthrIz 5/7/2026 v140593015
Current update always stuck on the loading screen and Clan war match making levels is unacceptable
★★★★ Emre Kihtir 5/7/2026 v140593015
Heroes ruined this game
★★★★ R O (PhukaShetLord) 5/7/2026 v140593015
Game used to be fun, but with several blatant pay to win cards lines that changed quickly. The remaining playerbase is unsufferable, i recommend never playing 2v2 as it is just duos spamming the same cheese p2w bs and your random teamate is a troglodyte with all 6+ elixir cards that will leave as soon ad the match starts. I am doubtful i will play again, which is a shame because before evolutions i felt the game was at its peak. Heroes were the final nail in the coffin
★★★★ Isaac Martinez 5/7/2026 v1.9.2
I guess you deleted my honest review. this game is unplayable. pay to to win and filled with hackers. I kept getting matched with Chinese players and they had a deck filled with high level cards and someone how managed to use them constantly. found it a bit weird so I tried their deck, and next thing you know it turns out the moves they pulled to beat me were impossible without the mana. So yeah, game is filled with cheaters
★★★★ Whitney 5/7/2026 v140593015
this game has so many bots integrated in there isn't actual fair gameplay unless you're spending money in the app which is expensive and useless because the developers nerf the cards after every season.
★★★★ Mohamed Osama 5/7/2026 v140593015
very unfair game, who pays more wins more
★★★★★ Lisa de Jong 5/8/2026 v140593015
The game was fun to play, but now it seems unfair. They match you up to players more advanced than you, levels higher than you... If you don't spend money on the game you are not going to make progress but be at a standstill...
★★★★★ Joshua Walker 5/8/2026 v140593015
It was ok. Until I bought Passroyale. Now I fight nothing but bots. It's still fun but not as good as it could be.
★★★★★ Sliot 5/8/2026 v140593015
p2w, doesn't listen to community. game gone downhill for past few years to rock bottom.
★★★★★ Daniel Saavedra 5/8/2026 v140593015
this game is a real lie...lol ...they control who wins or looses
★★★★★ Cheese 5/8/2026 v140593015
it was good for awhile then it became pay to win and that made it terrible and now there's heros and it just sucks, I'm only giving more than one star because it used to be good. improve this game
★★★★★ Jacob 5/7/2026 v140593015
I'm tired of pay to win and when you start winning they give someone that has an over leveled deck just because you were winning as well as disconnecting for no reason when I have full bars and I will lose because of it
★★★★★ Odin - Gaming and Wrestling 5/7/2026 v140593015
Awful matchmaking recently & continuous appearance of cheaters whom can boot you offline & gain elixir at excessive rates. Certain match types sometimes bring me back but I can never play for more than 10-15 minutes a day without getting turned off from the bad player base
★★★★★ Billy Posey II 5/7/2026 v3.2729.1
really has just become pay to win after a certain point
★★★★★ eric uchimura 5/7/2026 v50142017
I can't login to my account i tried uninstalling then installing i put money into this account and may you please fix this immediately.
★★★★★ Critique & Criticism 5/7/2026 v140593015
You guys have worked very hard on all of tour titles. The money I have spent and may spend is definitely worth it. All the complaints that I have had over time have answered to. I wish you better progress as your games and titles become better. Update may 2026 there are so many imbalanced cards its ridiculous
