Color Clash Arena Reviews

This game had been fun and easy to learn and pickup. Collecting cards if fairly simple and having level differences doesn’t seem like its the end as other games do. My big issue comes from only playing against computers. They always feel like they are set to easy mode and with a good deck you can win way before overtime. The race feature is nice but it doesn’t feel like it’s human contributed due to how much npc play there is. When you have a streak of 300 and every bot has a streak of 60–80 the bonus reward doesn’t feel valuable or thrilling. In the end the game feels more like an offline game for extreme casual play while we wait for more updates. For decks it comes down to specific cards that overwhelm the game. For me Buzzsaw, stun gun, gun, cart, minion army, and mini drones is my main deck. Lots of other cards are underwhelming, like all the ground units, and the anti-air is non-existent. In fresh starts if you don’t have stun gun or place a motor right an early dragon will dominate the field. All in all theres much to improve on and the only thing potentially worth buying is the ad-free so you can play faster without interruptions. For a start you would hope for a little more polish and a minimum PvP.

Edit: realized this game is 12+ years old and the dev hasn’t made any significant changes. Dropping my review from 3 to 1 because of this. Personally a 12+ year game with nothing to show indicates to me that this is a money grab only game.

Sure the game concept itself is fun and I myself have played more than I would like to admit but this game is very clearly not as advertised. It is not actually played against other real people but bots so why do I need an internet connection to play? Oh, that’s right, so it can run ads constantly! On top of that the bot that it has you play against is genuinely dumb. It doesn’t seem to actually play, instead it just puts out some random unit after the other. I highly recommend not downloading this game to avoid getting into it entirely. They will grab your attention and make it an enjoyable experience at first with no ads and still the dumb bot so it’s easy at first but then it will turn into ad after ad after ad with the same dumb bot.

Moving past the “encourage you to play less or pay more” card pack timers (WHICH ARE CURRENTLY BROKEN AS E.V.E.R.Y. PACK IS TAKING EIGHT HOURS), also moving past the AI competition and its issues, even ignoring the fact it’s actually an ad farm since it could be worse they could interrupt the game itself with ads. My two biggest gripes are the fact that once you hit Ultra Diamond you no longer can get quicker open times, and with the lack of communication to/from the developer. Players shouldn’t have to write 1-star reviews to let developers know when functions are broken. Players shouldn’t be left in the dark when game functions are removed. Are Hero Powers coming back? Should I be holding off on upgrading my cards so that I don’t miss out on the points needed to upgrade my Heroes when they do?

So here’s the thing. This game itself? Decent, sure. But the principals it operates on encourages you not to play much at all. After every game you win, you get a ‘card pack’ that you use to upgrade your cards. Simple enough. The problem? Each card pack is held back by an arbitrary timer. Most seem to be 3 to 8 hours. You can watch an ad to knock 30 minutes off the clock. You can, at maximum, hold up to 4 card packs. This means that if you play four rounds and win each time, if you don’t want to waste a card pack, you have to wait for hours before you can play a single round again. And you can’t exactly open all the card packs at once, you can only unlock one at a time. So if you have 4 three hour card packs, you’re waiting 12 hours total between them, provided you check in three times to swap which pack you’re opening.

Sure. You can unlock the card packs early. And sure, you can play without the spoils. But watching six ads to play a single round or playing to your own detriment seems like a stupid thing for anyone playing a game to do. Especially since there are also skippable ads between rounds. Essentially, the entire game just isn’t really worth it if they want to gatekeep you playing that much.

After a certain amount of levels reaching the winning point will just result in an infinite loop where the ai can play cards against you while your cards are locked out. Even if there’s no red squares left for the ai the game won’t end. Otherwise the game seems fun but clearly needs fixing

I paid to not watch ads like many other games I’ve played which I love. On every other game I play I pay once monthly or one time purchase of a good amount of money and I still get the benefits of as though I had watched the ad. For example, I pay to get rid of ads then I click to watch an ad and automatically gain the reward without watching it. I JUST PAID HERE AND I STILL HAVE TO WATCH THE ADS. Give me my money back rip off… or fix the mechanics when I click to watch the ad give me the reward without watching. I PAID FOR IT!!!

For some reason each night when I go ro bed with a card pack opening, the next day it has lost track of how long till it opens. There is no time showing remaining, but it’s still acting like it’s gotta count down more, but it never opens. And since it doesn’t know how much time is left, you can’t open it with gems either. I’ve had to delete and reinstall the game twice and start over to get rid of this never opening pack. Shame too because the game seems decent and i wanted to play it.

Great game but it’s riddled with ads and micro transactions. Matches last around 40 seconds followed by an ad that will last 30-60 seconds and are a hassle to close out of. Getting upgrades is time gated by an extreme length of time unless you want to dish out loads of money to marginally speed it up. It’s a real shame too because the game itself is actually really good but I would avoid this one completely. Can’t wait to see some automated “response” to this like “AdS sUpPoRt ThE dEvElOpErS” nonsense because this game will try to get every penny off you possible without shame.

It’s exactly what you’d expect. A sleezy mobile game filled to the brim with full screen ads. The game itself is okay, but still has some bugs such as the gun breaking completely due to bugs with the bullets collision. Download a game that respects your time, this one is just farming you with average gameplay.

Really fun imo but it keeps locking me up when the timer hits zero and it’ll take all my cards away and I can’t even exit the match. It’s even worse because my opponent is constantly placing new cards down so even though I’ve basically won it won’t let me win. To top it off I have to restart the game everytime it happens since I can’t just hit up a pause menu and exit the match.

Okay, to start off i just wanna say this game is really fun i’ve been playing it for about a week or two now. But, their are a few things I would love to see the game improve on. First of all fixing a few bugs relating to some of the cards like the “minion swarm” and the “gun”. Second the progression in the game feels very slow in the sense of upgrading your cards, coins seem to be an issue for me. I have basically all my cards ready to upgrade but gold is the only thing limiting me to do so. Also the packs are a bottle neck but i wouldn’t say it’s as major as the gold. Also progression through the ranks is way too easy once i started actually pushing up the ranks, i got to “ultra diamond”(the max rank) in 30 mins to an hour of playing. I think playing against real players would solve this issue and make the game feel less stale from playing against bots the whole time. Their is also a problem with the card balancing, some cards seem to be way more powerful than others and some seem to be borderline useless. So over all this game has a lot of potential and if it can fix these issue AND differentiate from all the other games of it’s category, it will definitely be a top tier game.

TL;DR: Decently designed game and Fun to play, has some bugs, lotta ads

I like that there are different maps so to speak with different obstacle. - Robot sometimes attacks and clips off the map and doesn’t comeback

Happened once recently but I had a legendary pack for my next win but after I had won the progress had restarted and instead got a Yellow pack and eventually when I had gotten to the legendary pack again I had to close ColorClashArena and open it up again for it to appear. (Edit happened multiple times)

I do not know if it’s just me the chaos lord seems to spawn on my side about 90% of the time. So a little more info on where and what causes it to spawn would be helpful.
What happened to the heroes. Just got on now and they are no longer there. I’m just wondering where they went. Also some of them were a little broken like…rage…or heal in my opinion.

A lot of ads, I get that the game is free and you need to pay for it but after every game win or lose is a bit much it just makes me want to get off quicker in my opinion.

I’m sure there are other things that I’m forgetting at the moment. Again I do honestly enjoy the game and hope it keeps it improving and does well. Good Job👍

The game itself is simple but fun, that is until it cheats to “add difficulty”. Chaos monster only spawns on the human side when you’re doing too well. Give the illusion of multiplayer, but it’s just bots with all the same cards until you change yours. Bot reaction time is insanely fast at times, where it destroys your unit before the placement automation can finish. Physics randomly stocks working to benefit the bots. Bots have infinite energy at times.

But worst of all are the ads. They are unrelenting, and even if you pay to remove ads the game tries pushing ads on you constantly for perks and multipliers. The “ad free” version is what the game should be before you pay to remove ads.

The game isn't bad, I’d say too easy if anything. Too many players use too many units and not enough towers so they cant take over the board. Only issue I have is once and awhile the timing to open card packs just randomly changes to an amount way over the original time. Had a green pack take over 12 hours once. I currently have a green pack with 4 hours and 11 mins to open.

If you could play real people it would be great, but you hit rank #1 and the game loses all playability. There’s just nothing else to do. You can keep playing the underpowered ai but you don’t get anything for it. I played up until rank 5-6 with only 1 new card since the distribution of new cards is so low. Maybe if you could buy skins for your cards and make your troops look different? I don’t know. Feels like they mostly finished one part of a bigger game and published it.

Was having some fun but now the game crashes. Specific error causes card summoning menu to vanish and the enemy continues creating new units. Even if you win and every square is blue and time is up the game is stuck and just keeps behaving as though the battle is continuing.

Per title. Worked fine, then after update it is stuck on the loading screen. Tried several time on WiFi, and strong 5g signal. Was enjoying the game, but now….. Would have been 4 stars.

Update; bug fixed. Game working again. Developer did contact me, thanks for that!

The game is more or less a standard deck building / tower defense combination game like clash royale and merge dice. However, the specific concept is still fun, with being able to see the colour wars like a Mikan video. The big issues I have are 1) this is a PvE game currently, which doesn’t work very well with the deck building idea imo, and 2) the balancing of the cards need work. For example, the mortar is pretty much useless since it only attacks 1 VERY small spot on the board and doesn’t do very good damage. Meanwhile, the spinning turret, which costs less mana, can give you a ridiculously good start and can be very good on defending against the battery towers that summon the tiny guys. The standard turret, which costs the same as the mortar, is seemingly one of the best turrets in the game, due to it swinging back and forth and having a ridiculously high fire rate

Tl;dr: the current state of the game is a bit janky balancing wise, but it could turn into a very solid game depending on adjustments to the towers. PvE gets boring very quickly in this style of game.

I actually really like this game, and have been playing it a lot recently but within the past few days I havent been able to. When I try to open the game I get stuck in the loading screen. I hope someome can fix this, because I actually enjoyed the game. When it comes to the game, you can tell is still been working on. For example, the king who you can use, spawns his own little minions, but for a while, they were literally indestructible. They fixed that in an update. In the same update the broke the green packs, it used to be immediately opened, but now it takes three hourse, which makes no sense because why does it tske as long as gold packs, but give you a lot less? Hope yall can fix these issues, along with my personal broken app.

I had played 2 days, it has forced ads after a match but that seemed acceptable to me. I had gone up several ranks both days and winning 99.9% of matches. I had just gotten to the point of the game getting more difficult, now the game wont load. I just spins on the loading screen. I tried killing ColorClashArena , i restarted my ipad but no luck, game wont load. It had promise, now its dead.

I’ve never seen developers remove features from a game before. Much less with no announcement and before my very eyes. Literally one week before writing the review there were heroes, block health you could upgrade, 8 cards in a deck, and a lot more cards in general. I honestly feel like I’m going insane because they’re just… gone? I love the gameplay (the time gates are annoying but other similar games have time gates too so… whatever) and the progression system looked like there was a lot of playing ahead of me, but now it seems like I’ll max out the game in a month or two. It’s unfortunate.

It does have a lot of flaws / shortcomings. The game is VERY easy as you go against computers instead of real people, and even though they do have infinite elixir and can play the same cards over and over if they choose, they often make plays that make 0 sense. The canon is by far the best card in the game, but oddly enough common cards are the hardest to level up (except for legendaries, none of which I have or can ever envision myself getting despite being well beyond the highest trophy range at this point) so that almost balances it. Certain cards are completely useless, specifically the double ray canon, minion hoard, the elixir pump doesn’t even make back as much as it costs before disappearing, and the minion king as well is really bad after the nerf so his minions aren’t invincible, and of the 3 spells in the game the buzz saw is by far the best and the other 2 aren’t great. Troop cards in general aren’t very good and the best deck I could come up with uses 0 troop cards.

Canon, cart, and buzzsaw should be in every deck, and the other 3 cards i use are wall, mortar, and gun.

Normally I never write reviews and I know mine is higher compared to… everyone else’s, but I feel like this game could really be polished and fleshed out to something people would want to play. For starters I never had the game bug or crash on me (unlike many others), and I took the time to just kinda see everything the game has (it took like 2 hours to hit max “rank”). The strategic aspect is definitely there, and if the developer/company wants to take the time to make this its own fleshed out game with game modes, real multiplayer, a progress system to unlock new cards, something that is a full game and not a minigame, then maybe this game could really shine through similar genres. I have a million ideas for a game like this and it has potential, but I fear it’s only going to get about as far as it is. Hopefully the developer can under stand this and turn things around.

This game was a pleasant surprise and has many great features that make you come back, but it has one annoying bug that isn’t getting fixed.
The card packs will sometimes bug out and extend their timers to that of a better pack. I’m currently waiting 12 hours for the standard brown pack to open(it should be 1 hour) because it bugged and thinks it’s a diamond pack. Waiting 12 hours for garbage isn’t fun and makes people like me want to quit!
Overall, this game is fun to strategize through and play your way to the top. Looking forward for the bug to get fixed!

ColorClashArena is still pretty new, but it has huge potential to be a PvP strategy game. Right now you play against AI, and try to climb your way up a trophy system ladder, much like clash royale.

Things I like A lot:

-Very addicting
-Has huge potential
-I played it for THE WHOLE day when I downloaded it
-very creative and interesting
-seemingly a great strategy game

Things that could use fixing:

-Card cost balancing
-If you want a game to blow up and not get deleted too quickly, DONT ADD ADS. It’s better for the long term, and it’s bound to get you more players that will get you more money in the future.
-When you climb the ladder and earn more trophies, you stop earning cards and things to unlock, although it says “New Cards Unlocked!” Nothing gets unlocked, and no new rewards get added
-PvE (wish it wasn’t)
-only 1 game mode
-The Card boosters that you earn when you win games take TOO long to open
-I got to ultra diamond (highest rank) in 1 day, without needing to upgrade most of my cards or unlock that many extra ones

This game is good but I think that it would be more fun if you made it to where you could scroll through your cards so you could actually have a strategy for example if you were going to put all cannons so you could get a lot of territory and that was your strategy you couldn’t do that because your cards are random and also I think it would be cool for there to be more cards to unlock because I know this game has potential but if you get all the cards in 2 months it’s going to get boring and last if you were able to have a little more cards equipped it would definitely be better.
If you did all of this I would play the game more than any other game.
Thank you for taking your time to read this.

I have a couple little problems, the game is a bit to easy, the bots either need to be raised in difficulty or make the game so you can play real people. The game gets a bit boring after a while because of the difficulty. My other problem is the Group races, my team(Nova, The Strategists) have one the race and still have not gotten rewards. We are currently beating the 2 other teams by over 1.3B. I could really use those 50 gems. My deck: igloo, mortar, panther, saw, gun and wall. I believe this deck is meta.

Writing this in hopes the developers see. The game is great, but as of like 2-3 days ago, when I open ColorClashArena it goes to a loading screen and gets stuck. I’ve tried it on and off wifi, everyday, at varying times, etc. I don’t want to risk deleting and redownloading because I’ll loose my progress and deck, because the game doesn’t have you sign in. All data is stored locally and will be deleted if I have to delete and redownload. I’ve seen other reviews like this from this week as well. Plz fix it!

This latest update made it so that my game will not load. It’s also obvious there are no real players which you battle as it is all AI and the ai uses any card it wants without waiting for any sort of cooldown. This makes games either really easy or immediately impossible since the cooldown is what limits your units and the ai having sometimes quadruple your forces makes it hard

I find this game a lot of fun and I play it often. The game is great except for the amount of time it takes to open cards. Hold and green cards take 3 hours and purple ones take 8 hours. I do not like the fact that I have to wait 8 hours just for an upgrade on cards that doesn’t help that much. I would propose that the developers make the wait time on cards shortened. I think that if you made the wait an hour or so it would be a lot better. Or perhaps the developers can adjust it so you can also get card packs just by winning a certain amount of matches. This game is really fun and I have no other issues but if the developers could please fix this problem then I’m sure that a lot of the players will want to play more. Thank you.

Last update doesnt allow my game to load. I open ColorClashArena but i just get a loading screen. Please advise 😭

I think the game is really fun, it’s unironically kinda just a better version of clash royal! I’ve only had two problems 1. One of the loot pack things broke, it didn’t have a specific time and the gem amount to open it was 2.505 BILLION! 2. My games doesn’t work anymore, when I open it to play it gets stuck on the first loading screen, tbh I might be to impatient to wait it out though. Other wise great game. Hope the devs can help with these problems.

It’s pretty addicting in my opinion. I do feel like the game needs to have a way for you to earn gems more instead of just buying them. Have too much coins and unable to spend them for upgrades as I need to wait too many hours just for a pack to open up just to hope to get the cards to upgrade.

This game is really fun to play, and clearly has the potential for many different play styles and strategies.

My only gripe with this game is the same reason I believe it isn’t bigger or more popular. There is no real multiplayer. You match up against bots who (I think) progressively get harder.

This is the type of game I could see people hosting amateur or even professional tournaments for. The bones for this game are way more fun then a lot of traditional card games I’ve played like clash, hearthstone, Gwent, etc.

The potential for this game to take off is there. But it needs a multiplayer mode. The multiplayer mode would also probably need more accessibility to cards to be popular otherwise people should get shoehorned into ineffective strategies. However this could be easily remedied by releasing more cards or increasing the card requirements to level up each troop.

Loading screen bug was fixed with the update but I still get it. Closing out the tab doesn’t work. Reinstalling it worked but I lost all my progress and it happened again after a day of playing. In game, the packs take too long to open and cost TONS of gems to speed up the full 8 hour process. Progression is super slow otherwise and sometimes the cards are stuck and the timer won’t go down. I would give 5 stars if the bugs weren’t that common. Other than that it’s a pretty fun game.

Really like this game and I see major potential. I think it’d be cool to have different upgrade options for the balls and not just the towers. I think there should be a restricted placement area before overtime and then once in overtime you can place things on the whole map.

I’d love to see special colors added instead of just blue and red.

After I got to 1000 points I got the same bug others have mentioned, where a match won’t end and I have to reset ColorClashArena .

Fun game otherwise.

This game is amazing I’m just stuck on a loading screen rn. This happened after my pack was ready to open but turned into like infinity and wouldn’t let me open it. Please help me and fix it.

I absolutely adore it. I see it could use some polishing up and other new ideas implemented but with a game that has a good foundation as this one there is bound to be an amazing fan base that will come in due time. 5/5 boners. Had me creaming my pants over and over again!

Okay, so at the end of the game when I reached Ultra diamond I I started to get games that are bugged mostly that when I clear the whole board the game keeps going even after 0:00 seconds it just keeps going and when I leave ColorClashArena I only get half of the trophies

This game has the potential to be so so so great. Like supercell clash royal, brawls stars type game great. Just a few bug fixes and more development this game is going places.

I assume they are all bots because I haven’t lost a single time and I’m at like rank super gold 4 or something.

All the same, it’s a lot of fun. If the developers would make it have real people you play against this could be so much fun!

I have 15k gold and it only is costing 20 to upgrade, I think it may need some improvements idk.

Like I said, I like playing enough that I paid for no ads, I’m hoping that money goes towards a game upgrade, not just into their pocket. I’m hopeful!!!

This game is a super fun concept and I have really enjoyed playing it so far! The only problem I have with it, is the fact that the game has to develop more; There’s not a ton of cards you can earn as the game progresses and it is super easy with little challenge. I feel like this game will become more extensive as time goes on, but for now it is still a great attention grabber.

This was a fun game for about a week and now I’ve conquered all the bots and sit ranked at Ultra Diamond #1. Adding PVP and other game modes would be great. Maybe add a tower defense mode or multi-enemy survival battles and royales. Perhaps level the cards up into sub classes with specialties. Maybe give people a chance to play as the Chaos Lord :-)

Overall I love the aesthetic and the bare bones of the game, it just needs some more meat.
