Well it seems that Supercell has yet another hit game on their hands, they truly are dominating the freemium genre in 2016.
To me, Clash of Clans really sets itself apart from other games in the freemium genre, not only do you have to be patient, a requirement that is a must in many freemium games these days, but it also asks that you develop your own play style, your own strategy for successfully making it through the game, many games these days don’t really require a whole lot of effort or skill, but clash of clans definitely takes an entirely different approach in this aspect.
Within the game, there are a number of in app purchases available for you to buy with real money. In Clash of Clans, the premium, purchasable currency is gems. For a pile of five hundred gems it will cost you $4.99, for a bag of one thousand two hundred gems it will cost you $9.99, for a sack of two thousand five hundred gems it will cost you $19.99, for a box of six thousand five hundred gems it will cost you $49.99 and for a chest of fourteen thousand gems it will cost you $99.99. Gems can be used for various things such as; they can be exchanged coins, they can be used to speed up projects, they can be used to buy premium items and various other things.
Clash of Clans is probably the most addicting mobile game on the market. With all of the fun and exciting aspects of the game, it’s easy to see why millions of people play it worldwide.

But remember that this is a Supercell game, and you will likely get banned if caught cheating the game. For those know don’t shy away from playing their games legitimately, check out our tips and tricks for a little extra help with your game.
In Clash of Clans, you’ll notice that every action you make in the game affects one of three bars that are in the top right corner of your screen, these bars represent elixir, gold and gems. Gold is what you probably use most often, you’ll typically use it to buy new schematics for buildings, upgrade existing buildings and even to buy village defense buildings such as turrets and cannons. Elixir can also be used to upgrade your buildings; it is also used when you’re making more brand new troops to attack other islands. Gems are the premium currency of the game, these are super valuable and you will want to hoard these like nobody’s business, do not, I repeat, do not use these unless the situation is dire, can’t be bothered waiting for something to finish building? Here, go watch a funny cat video, it’s all a matter of keeping yourself busy, don’t cave to what they want you to do, which is spend all the gems they give you to start with so you’re tempted to go ahead and buy more.
In Clash of Clans, there are a lot of different things that you can build; each different building serves an entirely different purpose than the next. The main buildings that you’ll probably want to pay attention to are the resource storage buildings, since you can only hold so much of each resource at a time, constantly making sure you’re using your resources to make room for more is one of the best things you can do, also, make sure you are regularly upgrading your buildings to expand the amount of space you have.
You’ll also probably want to concentrate on your defensive structures as well, these are super important because they protect your village in case of attack, they’re especially important you get attacked while you’re offline, ensuring that your village is properly protected is one of your top priorities. Many veteran players recommend that you pack the civilization part of your village packed together as tightly as you can, by doing this; it makes it easier to protect yourself with the minimum number of defensive structures. Since all enemies will be heading in the same direction, it’ll be easier to focus your defensive power.
Remember though, when you’re finding the perfect placement for everything,your choices can me somewhat limited by the fact that your land will be dotted with debris such as rocks and trees, to clear up desperately needed space, you will need to get rid of this debris first, which can at times be a costly and time consuming project to complete, so I advise that you try to get rid of these as quickly as you can at the start of the game.
The actual combat part of the game is quite simplistic to get your mind around, all you have to do is tap the map icon and select which mission you would like to embark upon. When starting a mission, make sure you have more troops available that you think you’ll actually need just as a precaution, as not every fight will go how you expect it to go. Because you prepared for a situation you weren’t completely expecting, if things do get ugly, you won’t have to return home and rebuild an entirely new army and have to start the battle from the very beginning again.
One of the great things about this game is the fact that you can move around your building to your heart’s content without any kind of penalty, this way, staring out the game you can just place anything wherever, it doesn’t really matter, because you’ll get chance to go ahead and reorganize later on once you’ve gotten to know the game a little better.
When organizing your weapon layout, I’d advise you to make sure you’ve placed the most powerful of your weapons in the center of the village, that way, they’re likely to stay active for a lot longer due to the fact that it’ll take any attacking enemies longer to reach them, giving you the advantage to kill them all before they have the chance to even touch any of your weapons.
When you start up the game, you’ll be asked to found your very own village and fill it with both a populace and a defense system. You’ll have an army camp where your proudest defenders will reside, a gold mine to fill your pockets up with all the gold you could need to go to war, a town hall for proper leadership of your village and a special elixir gatherer to collect the magical resource. With all of these things, you are left with plenty to do, right from the very start of the game.
As you work on building up your home village into a secure home for your citizens, you will unlock more and more brand new buildings, which ultimately contribute towards the success of your village. If you manage to reach a high enough level, you are all set to take the Clan Castle, a feat which will allow you to build alliances with other player villages, create new units and even upgrade the barracks.
Sure, all of this sounds great, but I haven’t even gotten to the best part of this game yet. Once you begin working your way through battles, you’ll really see why you need to develop a great sense of strategy, whilst the first few battles are incredibly easy to completely decimate, don’t develop a false sense of security, because soon enough, you will hit the harder battles and you will be longing for those easy AI battles again. Without a proper strategy, you find that every member of your army gets completely wiped out of action, your hand to hand guys can’t keep up the pace, so your archers will end up getting sacrificed and BOOM, before you know it, they’re all dead. The best thing to do after you’ve experienced this kind of defeat is to return home, don’t just re-spawn all of your guys again and try the battle again, because you’re only going to get the exact same results, no, what you’ll need to do instead is work on upgrading your barracks, eventually, you will unlock Wall Breakers and Giants, with these guys on your side, the battle should go a whole lot smoother. When in doubt, add some muscle to the team.
Getting further into the game, you’ll quickly learn that what you already have in your village won’t always be enough, you’ll need more and more stronger units, otherwise, you’ll end up going nowhere in the game, if you’re not willing to build on what you already have and think you can get by with what you already have, you would be mistaken, hell, you shouldn’t even be playing this game! No, you need to strategize and really consider what you need to be focusing on in your crusade. Just having the numbers isn’t going to work out, placement and timing will play a big part of your success; don’t time your deployment just right and you could end up getting stuck in the middle of a bloodbath.
The thing with this game is that, even though it’s a lot of the same thing over and over again, it doesn’t get old, because of the constant threat of attack from other players, you have to remain ever vigilant with it, and the desire to protect your village gives you incentive to keep coming back.
Clash of Clans is definitely a good game, regardless of its freemium status, it definitely has more content than people really give it credit for, hence the reason why it is still sitting in the coveted number one spot on the top grossing apps. The people love this game, there are still many active communities dedicated to the strategy and fun of this game. I highly recommend that anyone try this game out, it’s free, so you have absolutely nothing to lose!
First off the game has clearly been around for quite some time now, so whilst the majority of bugs should have already been extinguished, it is not out of the norm to see bugs in a game, even as well developed as this. That said as the game is updated through out 2016 we will be updating the online hack tool so you always have a working download to use. Just remember that if you find yourself coming across any bugs in your game, it would be a good idea to report your problem to the developers, this can be done in a variety of ways such as by social networks like Facebook or Twitter, or the issue can even be reported from within the app, although if you want to go old school, you can always go straight to the Supercell website or send them an email.
By reporting your problem, you ensure that the issue is taken note of, increasing the likeliness that it will be fixed in a future update. The game requires that your device be running at least iOS version 5.1.1 or anything later. There is support for a great deal of languages, but if the game does not support your language, just report it like I mentioned above, as the developers are constantly adding support for more and more languages. The game can be downloaded for free in 2016 from the app store; however there is also the option to purchase further in app currency if you wish to do so. The game currently has a four and a half star rating on the app store and has a great deal of good reviews from satisfied players.
Artwork: I give Clash of Clans an 8/10 for its artwork. Whilst the game is exactly the most beautiful game to have ever existed, it is not hideous by any means, it’s colorful, full of really well deigned characters, it’s overall visually appealing. I do feel like a little more effort could have been put into the artwork, but if nothing has improved by this current version when it comes to its artwork, I doubt it will even change at all, so I guess we’ll just have to cope with what is already there.
Music and SFX: I give the game a 6/10 for its music and SFX. I have to be honest, I was a little disappointed with the music in this game, it really felt like it didn’t fit in with the theme of the game, it actually sound more like something you’d hear in an episode of the smurfs or something. Don’t get me wrong, the music itself was nice, but it just didn’t work with this game. The sound effects were pretty lax, in the village there is just the stereotypical bird noises and some pretty obnoxious sounds when you tap your buildings, I’d honestly rather just mute my iPad completely than have to listen to those sounds, they’re super annoying.
Story and Originality: I give the game a 4/10 for its story and originality. Honestly, I see so much story potential in this game, it just sucks that Supercell chose not to incorporate a good storyline, because this game really could have benefited from the sense of flow that a story would provide it with. Whilst this game is full of feature and content, it isn’t exactly an original concept, I don’t even know how many games like this are floating around the app store these days.
General Gameplay: I give the game an 8/10 for its general gameplay. This game is not perfect by any means, but really, I can’t actually place any issues I’ve experienced because there have been so few problems with this game, and any problems I have encountered have been so incredibly minor. One of the things that would bother me occasionally was the fact that sometimes when I was moving around the village and sometimes it would register my finger movements as me trying to move one of my buildings, although I don’t know whether you could really call that a problem on the end of the game, more like human error, since it’s something that happens with a lot of other Supercell games I’ve played. The game definitely runs well overall, it loads up very quickly and there aren’t really any problems playing the game. Be aware though, if you leave the game idle for too long (which isn’t really all that long in actual fact, it’s like 5 minutes) it will ask if you’re still there and will ask you to reset you connection to the game, which can be super annoying if you’re playing and you need to go grab a quick drink or something.
Addictivness: I give the game an 8/10 for its addictiveness. I’ll admit, I happily left this running on the side as something to do to kill a little time, in the earlier stages of the game; I didn’t even really need to pay that much attention to what I was doing. It’s a game that is generally easy to get the hang of and if you can get past the annoying sound effects, you can spend a lot of time playing it. It’s only when you hit the freemium barrier where you’re feeling pressured to buy stuff in order to succeed, in reality, Clash of Clan is JUST a freemium game like many others, out to make money off of its fans.
Overall, I rate Clash of Clans 7/10. Could use a great deal of improvement, whether or not these improvements happen is another question.
