Left the game for a while came back hoping it wouldn’t be as bad as last time and guess what just like 6 months ago I can’t get out of the same arena I’m in because no matter what cards I play the opponent is ready to counter, get good you say no super cell loves to throw bots at you with difficulty based on your arena to “keep it a fun” experience for everyone tho shouldn’t matter when you at one of the top arenas also the bots just ruin the over all experience what’s point of PvP when you have an ai system built into your game!!!!

Was a good game but now it’s like every other game or company. Trying to get money from you for some ai slop. While destroying any aspect of the old game by making it just about spam clicking . Sad.

Clash Royale
This game is really fun at the beginning see you win games climb areas then you start to face better players you finally get to see some action and you will lose some games then we you start to grind you shoot up areas like never before you find your deck and maybe spend some money because this game can sometime be a cash grab. But after climbing areas staying up all night you reach mid ladder and see one card more than ever mega knight and you lose and you hate the mega knight the way it jumps leaps onto you troops crushing them like there nothing and taking your tower within hits, and you get enough you toke a path you swear you would touch you get mega knight and use him you start to see progress you get your toxicity for all these games and most likely In debt by know or losing money but anyways you start to climb you don’t feel good abt it but you keep using him because you toke the dark side and eventually you get his evo you start spamming him none stop watching as your opponent panics on zero elixir as your evo mega knight leaps onto his tower and after you get out of mid ladder you realize that mega knight isn’t as effective as you thought so many good players know how to counter so you restart at ground zero you rebuild you deck and start to grind you learn from your past and you leave it because you don’t want to go down the same path and after your in debt you make it to 10k trophies and your excited you brag and you are happy then after grinding for months you reach 15k and you feel no one is better you went through multiple decks paths and more and watched many videos and tips you feel like you succeeded. This is clash Royale, Thank you very much.

★★★★ I HATE EVO MEGA KNIGHT!!! 5/7/2026 v14.593.15
1 Star
The game at first was fun but then they started adding bad/pointless things like level 16s and heroes.
I feel like that these additions ruined the game and what SuperCell should do is remove them completely and maybe restart everyone’s account so then you don’t run in to the over leveled Evo Mega Knight spammer in arena 9.
Idk about restarting everyone completely just idea because this game is the most miserable game I have ever had the displeasure of playing.

The absolute greed of these people…
Played CR on release and have continued to play for years until the worst update to clash surpassing Clan Wars 2 by a mile and a half. Heroes my God it’s impossible for an F2P to reliably get one especially made worse with there being a new pay to win hero added every season. May Jewpercell’s greed bankrupt them.
★★★★ GOWMars 5/7/2026 v14.593.15
Not worth your time
Game is entirely pay to win and matchmaking is rigged. To stop you from climbing the ladder too fast, it starts matching you with absolute counters. Then there are the people who just purchase the pass, causing them to get a new card that is broken, which they may decide to take their time nerfing (boss bandit) or just nerf next season. By that time a new, broken card comes out, that season introduces a new pay to win. In short, moneys king, playing legitimately isn’t the way to play.

Those who like to play without paying this game has changed they suck now
I hate the fact you guys buffed out every card and then diminished others and now to unlock them you have to pay to play and Im no Dan of that the game was fun before all the chinsey updates making it hard to enjoy and hard to move up arenas

★★★★ Baltic dabs suck 5/7/2026 v14.593.15
Rigged out come
The outcomes are absolutely rigged in the favor of those who are willing to participate in pay to win, which in my experience is that Baltic way to do so called play for free games. IMO, this absolutely sucks and so do the devs. I would rather pay for the game than to capitulate to this greedy scheme.

How can a game be so bad?
I could have the best internet in the world and then the one time Ím in a fight it freezes my game then the internet symbol disappears then bam my tower is gone then I manage to fight back but guess what I’m going against a counter against my deck then when I need one more win for next arena they hit me with someone that has all there cards 3 levels higher then me then bam Í lose then lose then lose until I go down 300 trophies. This game is the worst game I have ever played. Íf Í could give it 0 stars Í would

Holy brainrot
I finally made it to arena 30 and things have gone to hell. Every game I play has me going against over leveled brainrot decks like double win conditions and spam decks. The game has just become so repetitive and just straight up horrible. Thanks again supercell for adding level sixteen and heroes to the game. Jk, probably the biggest mistakes in your guys history. FYI: people who use brainrot decks are genuinely worse than the big Stein and are just a waste of air.
★★★★ duzmahdikfit 5/7/2026 v14.593.15
Merge Tactics Ruined
I used to love this game. Whenever they introduced merge tactics, it became my favorite game mode because overpowered leveled up cards didn’t ruin your strategy. But recently they added a character “Echo Sage” that completely ruined the mode. The character wiped out my entire team just simply due to its ability. Extremely overpowered and I won’t play anymore until it is fixed.

Don’t download this or other supercell games.
Supercell’s customer service is absolutely atrocious. I got my account stolen by some random person in Brazil and I didn’t even get a chance to message or call a real person to get my account back. I have ids of receipts that on the website they said they would take as proof but after a week of reaching out and trying to go through the bot I never got anything back. I spent a lot of money across boom beach, clash royale, clash of clans, and brawl stars and I would’ve spent more but I never will again on a new account with the possibility of this happening again.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS GAME!!!🙏
This game is fun and it does keep you entertained BUT it WILL cause you to wish you were dead or cause you to try and break your phone. Either one is NOT a good experience I can confidently tell you that and the ONLY way to avoid this experience is to quit the game or just never play in the first place so PLEASE if you have any shape or form of anger issues I do NOT recommend this game for you.

Annoying
Pay to win game nowadays. Matchmaking is awful. Cards aren’t balanced properly. Some cards/decks still just run the game. Constantly lose to decks you shouldn’t because of busted cards.

Cheaters
This is a game with more cheaters than cod. The cheaters make it so obvious too by spamming cards and this greedy company doesn’t do anything about it. With no way to report the player in game, this game is a waste of time.

Wish I Could Rate a Zero
The developers of this game have no care for the play style or contrast, all they care about is money and creating unfair advantages for those who pay. If you’re good at the game instead of being rewarded, you are punished by being put against an opponent with heroes, evos, and champions all max level making it impossible to win and have an enjoyable experience on clan wars, ranked, and trophy road.
Unfortunately on the App Store, there isn’t an option for 0/5 stars but just know I would’ve gone lower than 1 if I could.
★★★★ P52345 5/6/2026 v14.593.15
Gameplay is Garbage Lose to Bots
They have alienated their loyal following so all you play is bots and it’s rigged for you to lose 90% of the time even before you click play. Playing long enough to spot their shady game mechanics.
Al bot opponents = zero spend
Good job Supercell. 👍 No wonder why your player participation is way down and you are freshening up the game out of desperation. If you stop screwing your customers they would stay loyal. As for now it’s the worst it’s been since its inception. 90% of the opponents you play are bots.
Used to be a great game a long time ago now it is not 👎
