Game Review: Clash of Clans: Highly Addictive (iOs/Android)

Clash of Clans is a game of strategy, produced by Supercell, available on platforms Android e iOS systems. And the best of all? IT'S free! I installed it just to understand why the game is so successful at the moment… And it was addiction at first play!

Gameplay / Gameplay

Very easy to play! Extremely intuitive. The game starts with a simple, practical and easy-to-follow tutorial and to improve it is in Portuguese.

Graphics/Interface/Audio

The graphics are simple and the interface is very user-friendly.

The sound effects are also simple and the background music is good. But in general, I turn everything off to play.

Difficulty and time of dedication

Strategy not exactly my style of play. I always find it too complicated and I prefer shooting games. But this is a strategy game that laymen can enjoy and get addicted to too. Of course knowing how to build your village and put up the walls helps, but this knowledge you acquire by playing. You learn that village boundaries are no protection, for example. So if you avoided CoC because you are not a natural strategist or have not read The art of war, stop suffering from it! Install the game and be happy.

Clash of Clans is not a game that you need to be connected 24h to evolve your village. Obviously, at the height of my addiction, I entered every 5 minutes even though I had a shield. The shield protects you from attacks, so if you have a shield activated, you cannot be attacked.

If you don't have a shield do not panic, because if your village is invaded and looted you will not lose all your resources.

Anyway, it's not a game that forces you to stay connected while you're at the party with friends!

Cost X benefit

Downloading the CoC it is free. Playing also pays nothing. But if you want to spend on the game… There is a solution for you: buy “gems“, green pebbles that make your life in the game much easier. With them you can speed up buildings, speed up the time your troops use to train and most importantly, you can also gather 500¹ of these “emeralds” and buy a constructor that is extremely useful during the game.

Achievements

Most players are not interested in achievements. I particularly love it, it's an attraction. And in this case of the game the reward is in GEMS, which is very worth it.

How not to build your village:

1) Don't use village boundaries as protection. The village boundary does not function as a wall, so invaders can enter through this space!

2) Don't leave your resources completely unprotected! We often invade just to steal resources to improve our villages… This village below would be a great attraction:

3) Don't leave “welcome doors” on walls. Even if you place traps, the holes in the wall make it easier to invade.

Useful knowledge:

– Defense structures do not work while they are being upgraded.

– Gold mines and elixir collectors also do not produce during their update.

– You cannot be attacked while online.

– To improve your troops it is necessary to buy the laboratory and do the research in it. It has nothing to do with your barracks level.

– Clear your terrain to find GEMS!

– You also earn gems when you unlock achievements.

– The camp troops are not good enough to defend your village!!! Clan Castle troops are used for both defense and offense.

Tip:

– At first use globins! Steal resources! Improve your village, your defense and your attack. Globins are great to steal, cheap and quick to make!²

Pros:

- In Portuguese.

– Easy to play.

Cons:

– Extremely addictive.
