Castle Crush: Clash Cards Game Reviews

by Acespace1993

I literally lose sleep over this game it’s very addictive and it literally makes me want to rip out my hair out of my head and punch holes in walls I’m not sure the developers would like that ppl literally hurt them selves over this game I’m going to uninstall this game after I write this review

I got to castle 6 and struggled so much to get there I will literally lose 20 times plus in a row no matter how much I change my deck around you guys always put me up with someone who magically has the cards to trump mine I know this is just a game but it’s more then just a game we collect cards and earn our way up it’s not fair to someone who worked that hard to get to a higher tier just to suddenly lose so consistently the game realizes your winning and then just destroys your whole mood and thinking you can’t even have a go to deck because you always have to tweak it I’m competitive by nature I can’t change that but you guys need to change how your game works so it’s fair for everybody and I’ve only scratched the surface with this game there are so many other things that makes this game unplayable side games is the only thing playable at lest I won’t lose trophies

You know, I love this game a lot and have worked really hard to get where I am in trophies and the one thing I loved about this game when I started playing it was the graphics and now it's complete garbage I feel like were playing on a old school pc module. I probably won't play it for a while maybe check on it but come on guys really, all the Update said was you can now speed up your replays....?? Seriously messed up u messed with the graphics and now I'm severely disappointed in this game I'm a leader of a clan and the way you guys changed the gameplay makes it terrible I mean it plays a lot slower and I just can't believe you guys would do this, step it up guys I mean this is just ridiculous. You can't imagine how sad and disappointed I am in this latest update
Update: really hate how you guys are trying to include new things into the game the tournament is cool and all but it cost gems to get in and the funny thing is in the grand tournament it cost ten gems to get in and 325 gems if you lose and want to use a continue!!!????? I've been playing clash Royale way more then this game. I started out on this game and now play clash Royale and have a clan and it's fun I like it. You guys need to stop trying to make people buy things if we wanted to buy it we would. Deals are great but seriously u add a tournament and it cost more than it's worth and now I just hate this game and where you guys are heading with it. Step it up

So there are a few glitches, where you go to use a card the cards weren’t there and your castle is half down then they come back and the characters aren’t even loaded so you have to wait forever and then once they have loaded your castle is down....
Another thing , I had 12 players exactly and other people had the best kinds of players and I got stuck with some that have terrible life and damage is low yet it takes awhile for it to load . And don’t get me started on coins, you only get 2 or 4 each win and you have a daily limit and then you don’t receive coins at all !
Oh and the chests take forever ! Your hoping to get a new character to play with and maybe one with better life but no you get repeats , every time , I played for awhile and thought one day it will have to and it never does!!
The reason it won’t give you coins and only gives you a daily coin limit is because they want you spending your money on coins and diamonds ! They give you a lot of diamonds to begin with then they make you use them all !
Don’t download this game if you aren’t willing to spend money on coins and diamonds ! That’s the only way you will succeed in going forward ..

Before I quit this game I wanted to be sure to add to the chorus of unhappy players who have found the game programmed to make you lose. It's rigged to cheat. It's a fun & addictive game with cool graphics, but one that cheats you. You select monsters/weapons to defend your wall and crush the opponent's castle wall. You can win games, but the game is programmed to pit you against players whose unique selection of monsters will either beat you (often the opponents are at higher levels) or against whom you can't defend against because the game manipulates which monsters are available for you to play in the card draw. It seems to make you lose more when you're close to opening a reward chest at a higher level. It makes you lose enough so you're pushed down a level and have to open a chest or fill a slot at a lower level with lesser prizes. I once lost 12 of 13 games after having reached castle 7 & over 2000 points. It's clever psychologically. Of course spending $ will help you buy or improve monsters or buy chests, etc. The chests often provide crap cards of little use. I've written very few reviews, but this game makes me angry/frustrated enough to write one. I do hope the developers adjust the gameplay. I'd give it 5 stars for the game, but the cheap manipulation of gameplay reduces it to 2 or less. I hope to find a similar game that doesn't screw me.

This game has great potential! The character design is good, with characters just like Supercell's games! Haha total ripoff. The con list is bigger than the pros in this game. The match making is terrible because you get gamers dumping trophies in higher castles to fight gamers in lower castles. This definitely makes the game not fun! I am okay with losing, but when I start a match and have no chance to win from the very start, not fun. Of course you could spend money on the game and become really good right away, it I will save my money for games like The Elder Scrolls Online, or better yet World of Warcraft!!

I have been playing this game for about two weeks. I got to the Demon Castle twice, but both times I fell very quickly from my spot. This is because one gets matched up against more advanced players, which is ridiculous, I mean how is a level 5 supposed to beat a level 7? Skill doesn’t come into play at all in this game so it’s not that. It really comes to the luck of your card order, which one game may really favor you and then the next three games it heavily favors your opponent. This leads me to think the game is rigged by the developers in such a way to make someone buy things in moments of rage. Because of this I will not play. I am not above buying things on games, but only when I feel the developers actually care about their product and those using it.

wake up gamers stop spending money on games that are rigged this game is rigged so bad that it doesn’t matter what you got in your deck the server is looking in your deck all the time you can’t see the opponents deck but the server is always monitoring your deck I was getting hit with a lot of mud element fire element skull king dragons you know high end cards so I decided to try and flood the lanes with trash went to all two threes fours with one or two sixes The computer immediately matched me with players with the same cards so stop wasting your money on this game it is so rigged you can’t even change your deck and get one turn in because the server is looking in your deck all the time The top 200 players in this game all have 5500 to over 6000 trophies if you’re willing to spend 500 or $1000 maybe you can be a top player is it worth it that’s the only way you’ll ever win in this game I made it to Castle seven and have not been allowed to advance for over a month it doesn’t matter what you put in your deck I’ve lost over 600 trophies in a row multiple times the closest I ever got to Castle eight was 2700 trophies you need 2800 to get to castle eight you see these reviews from players who say I only play five minutes a day I never lose 30 games in a row I made it to castle nine I never spent a dime that’s BS that’s because they’ve spent $500-$1000 an are in the top 200 players with 5500+ trophies

I played this game way before clash Royale and I loved it. Then after many updates it purely turned into a pay to win/go to higher level arenas. The things they try to do to make it better like the tournament and the pig bank all require gems which cost money. It costs gems to join a tournament which has players who are far more experienced than you and then when you lose you have to join back in. The new pig bank makes you pay gems to open with a chance of getting slightly more genes than you already have, but when you do not have enough to open it you are stuck on that level of pig bank until you can afford to open it.
For example level, I am stuck on level 3 piggy bank which costs 1,000 gems to open and I only have 630 gems saved up from playing the game for over a year. I can’t afford to open the bank so it will just stay at that level until I can afford to open it. And since it already costs 1,000 gems at level 3, you can imagine how much it will cost at the max level.

In the end, Castle Crush is just a worse and more money hungry version of Clash Royale. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

by Baxter411

When I was playing many times have I been bested by the one card that counters my deck. There are freaking 68 cards in the game and yet that one card is in their deck every single time when there is a max of 14 cards. Now you would think that that was supposed to happen but only 1/10 games you will actually have a fair game. Now I have a thought, If you pay money you will probably always win. I want a free to play game that is not rigged. Oh, have I mentioned that you get high crystal cards and no mana rituals but in the end you have 1 dwarf and three mana rituals. The other team always has the exact things. Reaper behind golem? It is guaranteed that they will have AOE. Many skeletons for a spectre? They will have mage and lightning. twice in a row have the opponent have under 1,000 castle health yet somehow they get two fires while everything is on one lane so nothing is left, and then they will get skeleton king and black knight. Don’t waste your time playing a game that is so money hungry and will ruin the game for you if you don’t pay money. And developer, if you are reading this, just make the game cost money itself and then fix all the rigged things you put in the game.

This was a game a downloaded to help me advance in a different app but then I got stuck playing this because it’s fun. That is until you have the biggest lose streak. I feel like your level doesn’t matter at all in the game, I had level 5’s beating me at a level 8 but at the same time, if I go against level 11’s I get murdered as well. It’s like the game gives you a good hand, starts you off with your low energy cards and gradually moves you into your heavy hitters, and then the next rounds have all your high energy cards at the beginning that you can’t play until the mana builds. Also, I’m almost certain that a couple of times, my opponent plays more than 6 cards each being 7 or more energy which considering the time it takes to load, would be impossible even with the card that lowers the mana cost by two. One last thing before I delete the game, I had one of the offers with the gems that if I spent like 600ish gems, I’d get a reward that replenishes the gems and gives me cards. Every 100 gems I spent was supposed to give me 200 extra gems towards the reward, so I spent 200 gems meaning I should’ve had another 400 tacked on to that, (these aren’t exact numbers but I did the math before doing the deal). Well, somehow I was still short 20-50 gems? Which means I lost practically all of them and didn’t get that chest with the big reward to refill my gems and get brand new cards. Safe yourself the heartache and rage and find a better game.

Like all games of this type, you either completely destroy people or get completely destroyed, every....single....battle.....
There is so many different kinds of cards you can play and since you are at the mercy of the game to release certain cards you go up a few levels then sit there losing every game over and over and over until they finally give you a card that can compete with anyone with. But by then you are going against players that have gotten the unbeatable cards at your level so now you get to sit again and lose over and over and over again until they finally give you another card. Rinse and repeat.

The card release system is super annoying too like all games of this type. After about a week of playing I got a big chest that too 12 hours to open.
All that was in it was 250 cards for just “Arrows”, something I wasn’t even privy to have been given yet. Seriously, 250 cards for the same item in a big box. Exactly why I would never spend real money to buy a big box when my chance of getting 250 cards to 1 item I don’t even have in my deck yet is a high possibility.

by GET RECK SON

This game is by far one of the best games yet worst games I’ve played. This entire game is heavily impacted by luck. You get the wrong card you lose if you get the right card you have a massive chance at winning. This entire game is practically about luck. Chests, the opponents you fight, the cards you fight EVERYTHING is about luck. In my opinion the match making should be about the levels, the opponent has the card, the level of the cards and the trophies instead of just trophies. I would not recommend this game for anyone with bad luck or something like that as you will likely have a hard time getting cards to counter any rush the enemies will send. Now this game is super fun I really like the concept of 3 lanes however everything I listed just override the good parts. Now rest of the cons I’m only going to write a bit as I’m too last to write more. This game is slightly a money scam with all the cons I said it seems as the game is just wanting us to use money in order to even have a slight chance of winning I mean. I think I lost atleast like 10 games in a row recently due to having to fight opponents with lvl 6 cards meanwhile I’m still here with level 4 and lower cards due to only starting to play this game again after a few months.

Hello I have loved this game but I still do... But over time you made the graphics horrible! Please return the old graphics. (I did not stop playing because of that. I still love the game not the graphics) Also I hate when you can’t choose any cards until 5 mana and when your lowest card is a 6 mana when you start. It’s just torcher. I can’t believe why you don’t start with our power mana cards first. But my best thing is I love how you give free gold for the mini games it is so fun and exciting to play them and I’m glad it doesn’t give or take your trophies when you win or loose. And if your trying to do a spell only deck don’t put us with other people that have spells only. Thanks for the help. If you are reading this can you return he old graphics just not the old characters? And at last... I hate how the players from castle 10 just go and loose all the game then go to castle 5 and win then make the people at castle 5 go back to 4 then 3 then 2 then 1. I really hate it. I was at castle five but then hey kept putting a orcs tribe how am I supposed to beat a lot of orcs tribes!??!!!? Unfortunately I am at castle 4 NOW...

by Onyxwings

When I began playing I was overjoyed. Simple game to learn, fun, and i was not doing horrible. Then in arrived at castle 3. I started seeing troops i had not yet even begun to deal with. Then more troops i had not been privileged to pick up in the earlier castles. Now after countless hours playing i have realized that the matching system pretty much has decided who will win from the start. The card generator at the bottom seems to have no real random structure. Even if you have one large gem card you will somehow end up only having a hand of 5-6- or higher gem cards to play when you can even use that many at the time. Meanwhile your opponent has been able to somehow deploy numerous troops while you have to wait. By the time you get enough open and available gems, your opponent is now throwing their big guns at you since you had no choice but to wait. Within seconds you are overwhelmed and the match is over.
I have lost more than i have won, games i should have been good on but then im looking at a hand of high gem cards when i only keep a few. So random my sweet tookis! Be prepared to e frustrated and ready to pull game off your device. Its fun for a bit, but now its just stupid annoying.
I will say that there is a good sense of strategy. And learning that in the beginning is fun. But past that... well ... yeah. Its just a clown shoe of a game.

I really like this game, it is really fun and enjoyable, but I do have a few suggestions. For one could you put the giant growth spell a little lower in the castles, like in castle 4 or 5 maybe? I think it is one of the coolest spells to play around with, and that you should be able to unlock it a little earlier. I also find that the game does see your deck and it’s weaknesses and pairs you against decks that can destroy you (of course I could be wrong about that, but it feels like that especially when I started switching between decks and started winning more than I did with one deck). I do find this game fun though all in all, a very unique game from others, the main thing being there are a lot of things with no limits. For example, the giant growth spell makes your strongest troop on the battle field grow in hp, attack, and size (size being purely visual) unlike in most games this does not have a limit. ( as long as it doesn’t die and the game doesn’t end it can keep getting stronger if you keep giving it giant growth spells) And this also includes the Spectre as well as Phoenix, who also have similar abilities. This is a great game that I recommend you at least try.

I really got a kick out of this game when I started. I’m not the type of guy to pay for things unless I’m sure to get something back. If it feels like an endless trap of money sucking just to continue I tend to stop. This game has been fun. Fun enough where I spent a few dollars on special deals like gem traps and piggy banks. If I keep it at that level I will continue to play it because I get a kick out of it and you can play a game in under 5 minutes. But I see dark clouds on the horizon. The endless stream of upgrades that are near impossible to achieve on your own and the games designers making things on some strange level of parity where you can win and bunch of games and then lose a bunch and the explanation is bad luck with card draws. Bad luck just isn’t so repetitive and predictable. It feels controlled. Just doesn’t feel right and I say that as a guy who looks for patterns for a living. Keep this at arms length as a fun distraction. They obviously need money to pay for the game development but it would not be difficult to spend hundreds of dollars if you are impatient or must win. Remember it is a game.

Really good game, but the fact that you can’t even stack up chests without opening them, which takes 3 hours for just ONE! Which most of the time doesn’t give you anything good. I spent 15 bucks, then obliterated my competition, winning every game easily with no contest and I just started playing for the first time. Now not so much since I’m playing other players who I’m assuming spent money or hours upon hours of grind. The Skeleton King is WAY over powered 3 lanes with mad skeletons and the big boy, too over whelming even at level 1. Having to pay crystals or wait 3 hours to open one chest is a bit much, especially since they don’t stack and the limit is 4 meaning you can open 4 chests every 12 hours on the dot. That’s a little ridiculous, I understand the in game market but make it little more free friendly? Or give us a chance to pick certain cards rather than spending money getting the same 2 or 3 cards recycled over and over. Other wise game play is really good, didn’t notice any bugs or glitches. It’s also a lot of fun.

I play this game everyday, and I have become very frustrated with the side games you must win to get a card fragment. I get placed against people from levels 11-14, and I am level 9 with around 4,300 trophies right now. It is getting very frustrating because I am left grossly outmatched and have to keep trying until someone loses connection or has a bad deck, and even then their cards are a few levels above my own. The normal gameplay is fine and very enjoyable, but in order to get legendary cards you need to play the side games which are basically impossible for me now. Not sure how it’s fair that I get put against a level 14 player when I’m only level 9. Other than this issue, I really enjoy the game. However I wish blocking people was easier as there are some people I would not like to interact with anymore. I hope these issues can be fixed, I really enjoy playing games, especially when I have a fair chance

by Sleeping Robot

This game is fun and complex. You can very slowly acquire more cards and strength. There is always someone who bought their way to the same level, but that is ok. After a while, around level nine, you just get stuck. Win some, loose some, thinking “yeah I am improving”. But I played this for a while and would look at the decks I lost to. One, two or three, 40,000 gold cards I don’t have. Would save gold, but it takes a really, really long time to reach 40,000 gold. So the best cards are for those who spend real money. Possibly obtainable if you play consistently for a year or more. There are daily gold limits, and wining does not reward much gold to begin with. So 40,000 is a huge amount of gold. The developers have done a really good job at creating an environment where you want to win and beat that other player. So good that some real $ here or a few more real $ there are going to get spent. Can not fault them for that, this is a business.
Maybe if you have been consistently playing since the launch.... Nearly a year with no money spent, looking at opponents decks, less games played but still dragon, dragon, dragon. Becomes frustrating, fun disappears and the relevancy goes out.

by Pickle Plucker

Been playing for a year solid now and this is the only game I play every day, whether it’s for one battle for the weekly challenges or I’ll play back to back games to get my victory chests for gold, the games very balanced and granted I’ve spent prob 60 bucks for gold which was purely for upgrading cards cus I was lazy, I have almost all legendary cards from just playing and there are sooooo many different cards for different card builds, people that say you either get crushed or do the crushing is WRONG! Yes it can be like that but iv lost when I thought I had the upper hand and iv won when all hope was lost! People are really trippin and don’t care to learn all game mechanics and what card counters what. Yes the game can be slow at times but the next match might be a rushing deck! Enough typing and in conclusion this is a very well animated and balanced game with constant updates and every now and than new cards!

I’ve read quite a bit of the reviews on CastleCrush. Disclosure: I do in fact play Clash Royale still as it’s one of my favorite mobile games on the market. With this being said, Castle Crush is very similar, it’s your choice to think if it copyright infringement or not, either way, Super Cell is as of now okay with it. Not saying I think this is copyright infringement or now. To the review section of CastleCrush : I absolutely love this game, it’s a game you can play in your free time or when you have a couple minutes to spare. Fantastic graphics, read a review dissing the graphics and there was no need for it. The graphics look better if not the same as to Clash Royale. It’s a different type of Clash Royale game; however, it’s still got some resemblance obviously. The game itself though is very fun and challenging. Everyone dissed this game due to the 50/50 chance that you destroy or get destroyed, that’s the fun in the game in my own opinion. I am a huge fan of Castle Crush and will continue to play it.
