App Store Editors’ Notes

Turned a great game into a worthless piece of trash

When you added the Warships, I was overly excited as it brought something new and enjoyable to my day. The first two seasons were challenging and entertaining. Season 3 is here and two days in I regret ever downloading this game. For example, EVERY SINGLE TIME I am 1 win away from leveling up, I launch my troops, they destroy the bases before my opponent destroys mine, I go to the next screen and spectate my opponent attacking me. They finish, we go back to the results page and somehow my opponent has beaten me by several seconds, one time they apparently beat me by 45 seconds. My next complaint is that the troops always go to one area together. Since I cannot get flairs yet to direct my troops, I am pretty much screwed on which way they go. I have tried landing troops on opposite ends of the ramp, putting a good few seconds between troop deployments to separate attacking groups....... and they all go to the same place. The first two seasons and on the regular game this was not an issue at all. I understand a you need to make it a challenge to keep it interesting and it’s only a game, but if I wanted to experience something that doesn’t do what I intend for it to do and just makes up rules as it goes, I’d go talk to my boss who makes crap up all day long.

Fun game

This is a fun game although I find that it takes way to long to upgrade items, I do understand the the creators want us to spend money and purchase diamonds. Although after waiting days to collect enough funds to purchase an upgrade I find it I unfair to have to wait days again for the upgrade to process. If you play this game be prepared to wait days for thing to happen and be ready to loose your funds at any given time for your base will be raided and there is nothing you can do to prevent this from happening over and over again. I live in the USA and seem to loose my funds over night form Japan or China. Your map of available bases for you to attack is matched by computer and is always matched with bases that are to hard to take out thus it is to hard to acquire funds. Diamonds are provided from safes on your map and you will only receive at most twenty at a days time thus it also takes weeks to acquire enough to use for upgrades. Thus this game is fun but take weeks to make any progression in this game. Have Fun!!! 😎update to this review the game over the last year has added and taken things away in an attempt to make it more interesting this has failed I play daily and still need half a week to upgrade one item unless you spend real money on diamonds. Still matched to base that can not be taken down. It is a time killing game about thirty minutes a day as you wait for the upgrades.

Someone attacks your base you get demoted

I’ve had this game for 5 years I really liked it but I know this was my problem but with my iPhone 7 I never updated my iOS and therefore my apps so I couldn’t play if I wanted to and I couldn’t see what my other name was for the game to save it. So when I transferred everything from my old phone to the 11 it didn’t transfer the data on my new phone. So my app wasn’t updated enough so I could use a supercell .I.D and transfer the data to the new phone I was very disappointed/ frustrated with that but whatever I don’t think I could’ve done anything with that. But I remember when I first started playing when you attack other bases you get promoted but what I don’t remember when I first had the game is getting demoted I get so annoyed now whenever someone attacks my base I get demoted and I’m remembering that wait they didn’t have that when I started playing. It’s really annoying they should not have that because it’s like oh yeah you work so hard for something and then you get it taken away from you like what. I mean overall the game is really good it’s just those 2 things that were annoying. I like that you can upgrade whatever you want and you don’t have to upgrade certain things first before you do something else. I have created a supercell .I.D for my new supercell games so hopefully when I upgrade my phone to the next one they will transfer. Thanks and great overall job, just fix those couple things

Things need changed.

For almost 10 years now, I’ve been playing Boom Beach off and on. But nowadays it’s hard to enjoy the game to the fullest. The first issue with the game, which I’m sure almost everyone sees, is base editing. Sure, we can switch the layout, but unlike Clash of Clans (Boom Beach’s older brother) you can’t remove and place buildings to make it easier for you to edit. This is extremely unsatisfying, and it costs a lot more time. The second issue is task force operations. They seemed like a good idea at first, but low level players often struggle to even put a dent in power bases even if it’s the weakest operation, and the community isn’t always friendly with this and it results in low level players being occasionally kicked from task forces simply because they’re underleveled. A suggestion from me personally would be to make lower level operations weaker to fit skill and HQ levels. Also, a system that would recommend certain task force members for the operations so they know who to rely on. And finally, warships. The biggest topic of trouble for the game. It’s buggy, broken, and slightly unbalanced, according to other reviews I’ve read. As for me, I’ve experienced 2 of the 3. I don’t need to explain what I see problematic with warships- just ask every other player and they’ll tell you. I’ve had a lot of good and bad memories with this game, but it’s just not on a good path anymore.

It’s good. But..

Boom Beach is a pleasant mixture of story, farming, and strategizing. Each base you encounter is unique in its own individual way, so you may have to use specific troops, items, or artillery. Just deploying your troops requires clever thinking because you will also need to be able to strategize how to make the gunboat energy be used effectively and efficiently. However, even though this game has many other contents as well, there isn’t really much to do after the post-game except for be challenged by events, or raid other bases. Also, the game is alright at first, but then the wait times for your upgrades become massively long. I’m willing to bet some people even uninstalled the game because of this, and I am not a fan of this waiting time, either. This is especially boring in the beginning of the game, when you have to wait an hour or 2 for most upgrades, and you don’t have a very high level radar, so there’s nothing to do but sit and wait for Blackguard Invasion on an Island you probably already conquered. Plus, sometimes you get player bases, which is good. But there is one problem with this: usually the players you get have a higher level than you do. So sometimes you can’t defeat them, even with upgraded troops, and the like. This is overall a very good game, but I would try to fix these issues if I was SUPERCELL. Good game, and please fix this!

Dear Supercell

This is a very serious review on your game. I think it is a wonderful game that is really underrated. It’s very simple and can appeal to multiple audiences. All in all it’s just a good game that you can take the beaches in. However I have one suggestion, sometimes I wish the time would go quicker or we could all get one extra worker for free. I wish this because it would make the game feel less like a waiting game and more like an attacking the kid who just called you trash game. If that makes any sense. One other thing that is totally on my part, and I repeat, on my part, is how I deleted this app a few years ago and I was super far into this game. Last night I decided to open the app and see if it’s changed and play a bit. I was really sad when my stuff was gone and I was going through the tutorial again, is there a way to get my old account back? I don’t remember any details or anything. All I know is that I had over 1000 medals and my name was TankFighter or Shadow or something along that related. So just a recap, your game gives the player a feeling of tactical attack and defense which I love, The time might be a little lengthy, And I was stupid to delete this game.

Note about in-app purchases

This game is very enjoyable I will give you props for that. The game does have its flaws. Recently for the past few weeks I have been having trouble with the in-app purchases. They make the make free to encourage people to buy the in-app purchases. When people go to purchases gems or diamond it says “Please wait. Transaction pending” then never gives us the option to pay for it. This problem hasn’t just happens to me. This has been happening to all of my friends. I’m not sure if this has happened on any other company device besides Apple. From my experience it is very common that this problem has happened to mostly Apple or IOS users. So I would just want to inform you on this. Quoting my friend here but he states “Why make the game free then can’t spend money on it. How do they make money then?” Some of my friends have even stopped playing the game because of this. So I strongly encourage you to fix this. I’m not sure if this is a complaint or a review. So me and my friends just want SuperCell to know that people are quitting and now playing the game because of a simple mistake (I’m hoping.) Everything else about the game is great. Love what you did with the Warships. Thank you for reading this if anyone is and have a blessed day!

A Fun, Dying Game

I've played this game on and off for years. Originally, it was like its brother game, Clash of Clans. New troops, upgrades, etc. regularly. As of late though (the last year or so) the game has become nearly abandoned in terms of new content. Yeah we get new stuff occasionally, but it's not like it used to be. This by itself wouldn't be a problem as every good thing comes to an end eventually, but the use of the "proto-troops" are completely insane. Rotating in and out, you can have temporary access to either an insanely overpowered unit, or one that does nothing and isn't worth using in place of any of your normal troops. On a week where the overpowered troops are in play, you can easily lose any and all resource bases that you have been defending for God knows how long, not to mention the copious attacks on your main base that drains all your resources. The response I've heard from most people is "you can use those troops too. Just take your resource base back." What those people fail to realize is that since these troops expire in the very early hours of the morning, casual players will be asleep while the people who take the game incredibly serious (and can't attack using basic units) will wait until the last possible moment to take your resource base and leave you with nothing. Should these units either be added permanently or removed entirely, I cannot recommend this game in any capacity.
