Castle Clash is a strategy game replete with hero battles, combats, dungeons, and RPG elements. It’s an interesting social game with seemingly endless tower battles. You start with building a base and getting a strong army in place. Your base will have impregnable walls, a large town hall, factories, and gold mines. 

Every building construction has a timer, with a limit of 2 ongoing building projects at a time. You can speed things up by buying a goblin builder in the in-game shop. Resources for the buildings come from the factories and gold mines, which produce resources in a rather slow manner. For army recruitment, you can depend on rewards for battle victories. However, with enough gems (the game’s currency) in the bank, you don’t have to overly depend on these resources.

A Mesmerizing Gameplay

Since you can’t control combat in Castle Clash, a lot depends on the strategy. The type of fighters you recruit and how well you upgrade them will determine how far you go in the game. Many a time, you’ll have to put your guys outside the tower to battle attackers. You just have to fold your hands and watch what happens. That isn’t the best of arrangements, is it? However, its AI and 2D design offer something to revel in.

Building your base to reflect a terrific defensive position is incredible. Usually, you’d need to put a lot of thought into it, and seeing your defenses overpowering an attack is satisfying. Even more satisfying is when you send your troop out to raid other players’ bases, bringing back as much gold as they can.

Buildings With A Life Of Their Own

Castle Clash is quite similar to Clash of Clans but it possesses some uniqueness that puts it on its own feet. It has familiar buildings like the Army Camp, which you find in Level 7; the Town Hall that comes alive in Level 3; the Gold Mine in Level 6, the Gold Vault in Level 7; the Watchtower inn Level 6; Mana Vault in Level 5, and the Training Center, which serves as the laboratory.

A unique building in Castle Clash is the Warehouse that comes right up in Level 1. The Warehouse is the place you can store items you collect throughout the game. That’s a testament to the RPG elements of the game that involves you getting rewards for completing specific tasks. The game also features an Achievements tab where you win gems as you reach certain levels of achievement. 

An Exciting Hero Base

There’s Hero Base in Level 6 unique to Castle Clash. Here, you can increase the level of your base as you attack and conquer other villages with your heroes. For example, you can have an assassin that you deploy to bring down the leader of another castle, and increase the level of the hero as a result. While you start with just one hero, you can increase the tally as you level up.

In Castle Clash, you may hire as many troops as you want – up to 32 – to lead your attack and increase your odds. You have an Army Camp to keep them. Every army troop that survives a battle can return to base, and you can use them for another battle without having to retrain them. If they die, you have to go over the job of training them. This can have you waste a lot of them if you keep losing the game.

The Arena offers an enthralling gaming experience. In an Arena battle, you have lanes where you can put your heroes. But you don’t know where the opponents are going to attack from. If, for example, you were to put all your heroes in one lane, you have to pray the opponents are all deployed into that lane. In one playthrough, I shared my nine heroes equally in the three lanes. An equal number of opposing heroes were deployed onto the lanes. Surprisingly, I could win in one of these lanes, and lose in the other.

The goal of these arena battles isn’t just to kill the guys attacking you but to get to the base that appears as shining crystals on the screen. What’s interesting about these arena battles is that you get to use all of your heroes, rather than small troops. You can hire these heroes using gems, hero badges (which you win during hero battles), and shots. You get shots by exchanging your items – like the ones you get as daily rewards – for them.

Still on heroes, you can increase the strength and skill of a particular hero by consuming another hero. When that happens, there’s a combo of the powers and abilities of both heroes, giving you a more powerful hero. Also, you can boost a hero’s strength can consuming essences such as acid.

Fight to the death in single-player battles

It’s not every time you’d want to lead your army to a dungeon of death. Other times, you can launch into single-player battles where you take on foes one-on-one. There are two modes in this regard – ordinary mode and expert mode. Advancing through the ordinary mode puts you right into the expert mode that offers more difficulties, but with better thrill, satisfaction, and rewards. 

Verdict?

Castle Clash is a fun game to play. With its exciting RPG features, Castle Clash is definitely worth a try.
