A town hall for leadership, a gold mine for money, an army camp to hold your warriors, an Elixir collector to gather up this additional resource from the ether - pretty soon you've got plenty of architectural work to be getting on with.Īs you build and expand your small camp into a burgeoning fortress you unlock more building types, but never enough to weigh you down with choices. See, Clash of Clans asks you to be good at the game as well as patient, and for that it deserves recognition.Ĭlans asks you to build a village and populate it with everything the warring tribe you're leading might need.
To me, Clash of Clans represents a tentative but significant step towards changing this, though it's a step that few take the time to recognise. But by the time I played Clash of Clans I'd become frustrated with the failing common to many freemium world-building titles: there's very little skill or strategy involved in success. I've always been interested in freemium games, and I've sunk more than my fair share of time in them.
I was introduced to the game by my main man Jon Jordan through the Pocket Gamer Podcast a few months later, after hearing about his love of the game, and the staggering amount of money he'd ploughed into the freemium title. However, Clash of Clans has been out for months, and I've been playing for a good long while, so I'm going to be doing things a bit different this time round.Ĭlash of Clans hit the App Store in its full 1.7 release on June 13th 2012, after spending some time in closed beta. This is a freemium game review, in which we usually give our impressions immediately after booting a game up, again after three days, and finally after seven days.
