Supercell is one of the biggest mobile game developers today. Clash of Clans is their most popular game that was installed for over 800 million times on Android and iOS devices and generated billions in revenue. It’s a real-time strategy in which you can develop your own village, defend it from other players, and attack your neighbors to conquer resources and experience.
Features and Functions
In Clash of Clans, you should join online communities (clans), build your village, and train military units to attack other players for resources. The main items are gold, elixir, and dark elixir. The first 2 are used for building, defense reloading, and protection from attacks. Dark elixir is needed for training troops and casting spells.
Before entering the tough multiplayer world, you’d better try the single-player campaign. It’s not very intense and challenging, but good for learning all gameplay mechanics by attacking several goblin forts.
All the buildings in your village are serving specific goals. For instance, to store gold and elixir supplies, you must build gold mines, elixir collectors, and special storages. The research laboratory is powered by elixir to discover new upgrades for troops and some of the buildings. As you progress, you open new Town Halls that provide better fortifications and defense towers, such as Eagle Artillery, Giga Tesla, and many more.
You can create and join clans to get and provide support to and from other players during clan wars. There are 7 types of clan wars that involve a different number of concurrent villages. You can participate in 5x5, 10x10, 15x15, 20x20, 25x25, 30x30, 40x40, and 50x50 wars. To train between wars, you can fight with your clan members without affecting each other’s villages.
Interface
Clash of Clans has catchy cartoony visuals and elementary controls so that you could easily jump into the game and start mastering gameplay. Due to large intuitive control elements, it’s a pleasure to play Clash of Clans on any screen.
Conclusion
This multiplayer game became one of the most successful mobile games ever for a good reason. It provides players with freedom of progression, enables in-game communication, and nearly unlimited options for matchmaking. You can install Clash of Clans on Android 4.4, iOS 9.0, or any later version and play the whole day through for free. You can also get the PC emulator to play on a bigger screen.
