When I initially saw this game, I thought it was one of THOSE games

Rush Royale might not look too spectacular in its adds or on its store page, but it’s a game that makes smart decisions where many other games lack. It’s progression systems are very rewarding to regular players (although a little bit dépendant on watching a couple ads each time you play) but the ads are not forced upon the player which is great! The game has very unique gameplay that is extremely replayable, both for coop modes or pvp. While there are certain aspects of the game that are heavily reliant on RNG, and this can make certain matches feel totally unfair sometimes, it’s part of the challenge of balancing a game like this where the units auto target, randomly spawn in, and randomly change when merging. There are many other things I could point out about the game that I enjoy, but really I think the frequency of updates and development by the devs (for the time being at least) show that this game has much room to grow and a community of devs and players that are totally engaged and enjoying playing Rush Royale. If there was slightly less frustrating RNG I would easily give the game five stars, but as it stands almost all of the systems of combat rely on RNG, which just is not as fun to interact with as the game could be.

Pay to Win

On the new season of Rush Royale, game devs decided to nerf already struggling decks by making it harder for them to play and making the monsters stronger and less rewards from defeating them. Amidst a game culture of rare upgrades to pivotal cards in player’s decks. The solution? To open your bank account and purchase their many store offers. The only way to find success in this game at this point is to spend money on it, and not battle pass chump change either. Real upgrades come from buying packages straight out the store which add up after awhile. They made it “easier” to get legendary units by adding summoning, then decided that made the game too easy so they added a necessary material to upgrade said card. Now it’s easier to get those materials than the actual card itself. Or if you’re lucky enough to have enough cards to upgrade, you definitely won’t have enough materials to increase the level. Guess what the only way to ensure you have everything is… I understand the bottom line for a game company is to make profit, but you don’t make the game essentially unplayable to those that play for free/barely pay. You just make it slightly easier for those who do pay. Instead you’ve sold out your free player base for the more financial free players. Idk how much longer I can participate in this social experiment of peer pressured consumerism. Money>>> skill in this game

Has potential

I’ve been enjoying this game since I downloaded it a few months ago. However, recently more and more bugs keep coming up and none of them are getting fixed while they keep releasing new versions of a battle pass so that you don’t have just one battle pass to buy but 2 or 3! Everything is being over monetized. I have no issue with a company making money. That’s how they stay a business! But when the only new content seems to be pay to win content and tons of monetization while game breaking issues such as the connection bugs are still an issue it makes me wonder why I open the app. I’ve had plenty of games recently where I’m about to win then randomly my screen pops up “the connection can’t be restored” and it gives me a loss. I have great internet so there is no reason that should be happening. Another issue is that players with bad internet actually gain an advantage when running a shaman deck because the way the servers are set up the player with great internet will still lag massively due to the slow internet player meaning you can’t defend against shaman. Many of these bugs cause me to want to stop playing instantly after one happens because it’s demoralizing losing a game that you should have won. If these bugs are fixed and some balance changes happen then I would likely change my review to a 4 or 5 star. I believe this is a fun game but recently has been going in the wrong direction.

I am not a thief as your company is claiming I am

Hello I received a few messages from you guys saying that I basically stole from your company and now I owe your company money or you will banned my account. For one I would never steal. I have bought so many crystals from your company to play my game to basically being accused of being a stealer in a liar. There was an incident where I was charged 999 for a crystal package twice but only received it once I believe this was I can’t remember the actual date because once it’s taken out of my account, it happens like a few days after I buy it sometimes up to almost a week, so when I asked for the refund for the crystals I had picture proof I don’t know if I do anymore but I had actually sent to Apple to prove my side and that’s why I had gotten a refund. I tried to look for the message but doesn’t show what I wrote Apple anymore, besides that my refund was accepted because they do their own little investigations as well , I have probably bought hundreds of dollars in crystals from you guys maybe not so much I might be exaggerating but I Have spent a pretty penny on the game to now be accused of being a liar and a Stealer and I don’t like that. I have only asked for a refund once from Apple. I don’t remember if I contacted you guys to let you know of the mistake or not but as far as I know if I did I never heard from your company about this up until now. Then I try to contact your company and you can’t be contacted!!!

Poorly Balanced Supercell Clone

This game is a poorly balanced mess. The general concept and card variety is fun, but there is no meaningful balancing between cards. Many of them are inherently better than others regardless of how much you upgrade them or how you use them, and legendary cards (ones you basically have to pay for otherwise you will never unlock them) are so much better than others that you’re almost guaranteed to win if you have them and your opponent doesn’t. The whole game is a blatant cash grab, and the prices are so much less reasonable than other comparable games. $12 for a season pass, and most timed unlock packs for legendary cards will cost you $10-$40. That’s crazy expensive for a supercell ripoff when you could get a lot more for a lot less in their games. There is a decent, fun idea underneath it all, but someone decided to overtune the pay-to-win to make it all about spending money. I had fun playing it for the first couple days, but I’m at the point where it’s not fun, and I’m unwilling to spend money to stay competitive in such a poorly balanced game. On top of the cards being so poorly balanced (the one thing you can control as you assemble your team) there is no meaningful balancing to the “boss” enemies. Some of them are insanely disruptive and will ruin everything you put together in a match, while others do nothing. Way too much of the game comes down to chance, which adds to how frustrating the poor balancing is.

TLDR: Pretty looking predatory P2W money sink.

I do not recommend getting into this game if you have any intentions of it being anything more than just something you play for fun waiting at the doctors office. The game developers are shockingly greedy and with every new update it adds a new system or mechanic or legendary card to break the game for a season or two before nerfing to oblivion to make way for the next busted and blatant money grab. This game has 5 different *passes* you can buy each month with one of those passes literally progressing by spending money. They don’t do anything to further the viability of existing cards and in fact update the game to be harsher for F2P such as removing unlimited coop and putting that behind a paywall as well. Beyond that, they removed opportunities to get legendary cards and made clan battles a simple business transaction where you buy more chances to battle a day, if you lose you pay to ignore the loss so your streak doesn’t break which coincidentally recently updated so you have to win your battles consecutively to get any worthwhile points for your clan. Also in case you were worried about my last point they will ensure you get several impossible matchups you can’t win no matter what to ensure crystals get spent. Essentially this is a game where you slap the opponent with your credit card and whoever fell for this scam worse and spent more money gets the win.

No Longer Fun - Matchmaking is Broken

This game can be a lot of fun, especially for a new player. However, as you rank up and climb the leaderboards it can very quickly stop being fun. Once a player enters league 1, which is about 4000 trophies, they will be put up against opponents with far more trophies than them. This is usually a difference of at least 500 trophies, and those players also have a significant advantage because they have higher level and more legendary cards. Regardless, due to them having a higher level trainer and cards most games are un-winnable unless the opponent just gives up. This happened in a recent game where I had the exact same deck as the opponent. We both had reasonable good luck but I began to fall behind after the 2nd boss. After they won I examined their deck and realized that every single card was at least 3 levels higher than mine. Their critical strike was over 400% higher than mine. This was expected, as their trophies were over 800 more than what I had at that moment. If you’re looking for casual fun games, this game doesn’t honestly fit that category as you improve at the game. Probably going to uninstall, as the past 10 games I’ve played were all similar to what I described above. This game isn’t fun anymore because matchmaking makes games wayyy to unfair. Goodbye casual gameplay.

Biggest P2W I have ever played. Seriously.

This was a really, really, really fun game. At least that’s how it started off before the greedy devs destroyed the game. A PVP Tower Defense game. Absolutely loved it. Couldn’t get enough. That was the case the first few months when they were building their audience. That has all changed. This game is now 100% p2w. How? They introduced heros. Completely pointless, but they did it. Of course, the only way to get a good hero is to spend money. The only way to upgrade your hero is to spend more money. Heros also have armors and weapons. Guess what? The only way to get a decent weapon is to spend money. Upgrading legendary units now requires crystals. The only way to get crystals is, you guessed it, to spend money. They introduced a new legendary card that demolishes every other card. The only way to get that is to spend money. They’ll probably nerf that card in a month or two and replace it with a better card that can only be obtained by spending more money. Then they introduced talents. You need crystal balls to get talents. And guess what? Yep, you need to spend money on that too. There’s no more strategy. The minute you get matched, it’s automatically who has spent the most money that’s going to win. It’s just not fun anymore. So if you’re not ready to spend hundreds, perhaps thousands, and see if you’re match has spent more, which means they will win, or less, which means they will lose, then I’d say skip this game.
